Recommended reading (5.1.09): Cup fever not so contagious in Bolton
Monday January 5th, 2009
What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers over the last week
- Following on from Kevin Nolan declaring exactly how much he thinks Bolton should be spending in the January transfer window, Kevin Davies has also been laying down the law, saying he’d like three new signings thanks very much Mr Megson (since when did players get to dictate transfer policy to the clubs they play for?).
- That hasn’t stopped Gary Megson’s unwavering loyalty to his captain, which last week saw him go as far as saying Nolan can win over the Wanderers fans who dislike him (yet again Megson showing a complete misunderstanding of how the fans think and just how deep-seated the dislike of Nolan is amongst a significant number of fans… although not me I hasten to add).
- Ali Al-Habsi signing a new contract (fair play to the club for this one, it’s the second time in six months that they’ve managed to keep a top quality keeper against the odds).
- Blerim Dzemaili getting a little upset with the Wanderers (maybe they forgot to send him a Christmas card).
- Sam Allardyce trying to rebuild Bolton Wanderers at Blackburn Rovers by signing El-Hadji Diouf and Tal Ben Haim (didn’t work at Newcastle… just ask Abdoulaye Faye and all the other back-room minions who followed him out of the Reebok).
- The FA Cup coming to Bolton… as part of a promotional tour (clearly Gary Megson and his players must have missed the visit judging by their distinct lack of Cup fever on Saturday).
And finally… a selection of songs in tribute to the legendary Dave Higson… by someone called Benny the Bear!
