The ins, the outs and the shaking it all abouts at Bolton Wanderers this January transfer window

Ins
The Guardian estimates that we have £5 million to spend, which is why Joey Barton (thank God), Jimmy Bullard (another person who thinks Phil Brown is a better bet than Gary Megson) and several others (see shaking it all abouts below) will not be donning the white shirt any time soon.

Instead, Megson will be searching the bargain basement bucket for the remainder of this season’s January transfer window, for example…

Swindon Town striker Ian Cox is wanted by Bolton and, er Barnsley and Huddersfield (to be fair Spurs and Fulham are also being linked). Other cheap options could be Grant Leadbitter (Sunderland), Szabolcs Huszt (Hannover) and Mark Davies (Wolves).

Recommended reading (15.12.08): Would you jump in to bed with Phil Gartside?

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers over the weekend

- This open letter from the Bolton Wanderers Supporters Association to Phil Gartside in which they admit that interest in the organisation has waned (perhaps their willingness to jump in to bed with Gartside, a man widely disliked by many Bolton fans – not me incidentally – is part of their problem?).

Recommended reading (18.11.08): Capello’s Cahill snub, the curse of Chelsea and more Megsonisms

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | BWFC People, Gary Cahill, Gary Megson, Sam Allardyce, Sammy Lee | 1 Comment

What Manny Road was reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers yesterday…

- An England squad that included Wolves (yes, that’s Wolves of the Championship) defender Michael Mancienne, who is on loan from Chelsea because he can’t get a game there (what does Gary Cahill have to do to get a call-up, other than playing consistently well in the Premier League every week?).

Desert Island Goals: Gretar Steinsson v Stoke

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008 | BWFC People, Gretar Steinsson, Henrik Pedersen, Jimmy Phillips | 1 Comment

Was it a cross or a shot? Who cares…

Gretar Steinsson’s spectacular strike against Stoke City on the opening day of the Premier League season becomes the first entrant in to Manny Road’s Bolton Wanderers Desert Island Goals section, which will celebrate the best Bolton Wanderers goals throughout the season.

He may not have meant it, but frankly who cares. It was the most spectacular goal from a Bolton Wanderers full-back since Jimmy Phillips’ 25-yard screamer against Wolves at Burnden Park, circa 1995 (someone did mention a couple of Henrik Pederson’s goals, but I still struggle to come to terms with the fact he ever played as a full-back).

Let’s hope there’ll be another Desert Island Goal to add to the collection after today’s game against Newcastle.

Bolton finish third in the Premier League

Sunday, August 10th, 2008 | El-Hadji Diouf, Sam Allardyce | No Comments

Only Chelsea and Manchester United are better than Bolton Wanderers

No, your eyes do not deceive you. Only Manchester United and Chelsea are better than Bolton Wanderers… when it comes to being hated.

It’s official… well, it was in the Daily Mirror anyway. The Wanderers actually finished seventh in the poll, but four of the teams above them – Burnley, Millall, Wolves and England’s most hated club Leeds United – are not in the Premier League, and therefore may as well not exist.

Big Sam Allardyce made Bolton in to a top seven Premier League side by transforming the club from ‘plucky Bolton’ in to ‘big, horrible, nasty, will probably spit in your face (thanks Dioufy) and shag your wife Bolton’. And it’s great to see that that legacy has not been squandered, even if the real world Premier League position has slipped a little.

In the same poll Bury were voted the tenth most-liked club. I know where I’d rather be.
