Football fans will ‘get real’ when journalists do too…
Disliking Bolton Wanderers has become default mode for most journalists and pundits these days. Their main problems with us are that we bullied Gary Megson out of a job and have ideas above our station when it comes to what we think our team should be capable of.
The first point has been covered at length on this site, but I will just link to a comment I left on this article, which repeated the misleading argument that results had nothing to do with Megson’s sacking. I added a bit of realism.
On the second, am I the only person who finds it incredibly ironic that Sky and the newspapers, who have spent the last 15 years hyping the ‘promise land’ of the Premier League, are now telling us that we should ‘get real’?

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers over the last few days…
- This amusing photo essay of Gary Megson’s career at Bolton Wanderers and, from the same site, a break down of the managers we shouldn’t get to replace Megson (not sure about Sam Allardyce’s inclusion, though).
