Honesty is the best policy for Megson – so why not the fans?

Even Gary Megson tells it like it is… occassionally

In the aftermath of Gary Megson’s “pathetic” comments a couple of weeks back, it seemed an irreconcilable chasm was slowly opening up between the pro and anti-Megson camps.

Regular readers of this blog will know that I firmly set up camp in anti-Megson territory. In the comments that followed that declaration, the main accusation fired at myself and other anti-Megson fans was that in refusing to blindly back our side, whatever their problems, we were in some way letting them down.

My argument was that burying your head in the sand is not the way to solve any problem, and after the defeat at Everton on Saturday it appears that several people at the club, including Megson himself, agree with me.

Honesty was certainly the best policy for the Wanderers manager, who declared without hesitation that “we’ll go down if we play like that.”

Jussi Jaaskelainen described the performance as “very, very poor“. Gary Cahill, meanwhile, “slammed terrible Bolton.”

So why is it that when fans express similar opinions, they are treated like traitors?
