Big Sam rears his ugly head again
The Daily Star proves Manny Road’s worst fears about Gary Megson and Sam Allardyce
I wrote yesterday that the football Bolton have played under Gary Megson has been so dull that it appears to have put many journalists in to some kind of trance, in which they believe Sam Allardyce is still the Wanderers manager.
And just to prove that only some of what appears on Manny Road is over-reacting to simple mistakes, on the very same day the Daily Star published an article about new signing Lee Chung-Yong in which Big Sam again reared his ugly (quite literally) head (hat tip to Alex for pointing this out in the comments of yesterday’s post).
Clearly they didn’t think this was going to be a huge traffic driver to the site. The (unnamed) journalist who penned it didn’t even bother with a third paragraph, but he/she might at least have dug out a photo of Mr Chung-Yong instead of sticking in a completely irrelevant picture of the BLACKBURN ROVERS manager Sam Allardyce.
On a page on which the actual story takes up about 2 per cent of what’s being displayed (see image above for the full array of crap the Daily Star has to offer once you’ve finished this reading this in-depth piece), they still managed to screw it up.
