The Bolton Wanderers manager should concentrate on brown-nosing fans, not Alex Ferguson

If there’s a Gary Megson interview taking place in the national media these days, you can guarantee that one of the questions on the journalists’ list will be something along the lines of: “So Gary, how does it feel to be hated by your own fans?”

How to interview a Bolton Wanderers fan, courtesy of striatic

Just in case anyone cares what we think…

Following on from my post the other day about the use of silly analogies, I stumbled across another – albeit over a week old – article that shows how generalisations and misrepresentations are being used to bash Bolton Wanderers fans and their dislike of Gary Megson.

How Gary Megson could become more popular than Adolf Hitler

Ridiculous analogies are the latest weapon of choice for the army of Pro-Megsonites (mainly non-Wanderers), who have taken it upon themselves to criticise Bolton fans for daring to have an opinion about the manager whose wages they pay.

SquareFootball (a good site that Manny Road enjoys a good relationship with, but isn’t afraid to criticise when they get it totally wrong), suggested recently that Bolton fans wouldn’t get behind Gary Megson even if he guided us to the Champions League.

Gary Megson's latest press conference

Bolton Wanderers’ online communications strategy? Stick head in sand…

With vitriol pouring down from the terraces on a regular basis at the Reebok Stadium these days, you might think that the club would want to go on a PR offensive. But like a Gary Megson team selection, the club’s PR strategy is decidedly defensive – especially on the web.

Pay your money, sit down, shut up and enjoy the one-way ride to mediocrity...

Gary Megson’s supporters in the media are totally missing the point

Something’s been puzzling me for a while. Why are the media so keen to criticise Bolton fans for our treatment of Gary Megson?

In some of my previous posts I’ve suggested that it’s caused by people who have no emotional (and therefore irrational) attachment to the club finding it impossible to fully understand how Megson has undermined the spirit that has been slowly built over the last 15-20 years.

Manny Road’s Bolton Wanderers iPod play list

With the iPods all gone, Megson's latest recruit settles for something more traditional

Gary Megson revealed this week that he has issued Wanderers players with special iPhones to help them prepare for big games.

Apparently the phones contain information about upcoming opponents, but I can’t help thinking the players would rather use them to listen to music on the iPod.
