Obviously have no clue if they want Gary Megson to be their manager.

Christ almighty.

Talk about signing a death warrant.

Why on earth they want him is beyond me.

It always puzzles me when football chairman seem to want to employ people who are so shite at their jobs that they've been sacked on x amount of times.

Bryan Robson
Graeme Souness
Peter Reid
Gary Megson

Would definitely be in that catagory.  It's like there's a closed shop for finding football managers.

Definitely a bizarre choice, I thought they should of been doing everything they could to persuade Paul Jewell to go to them as I think he would have been perfect.

Agree with your list Jan I always shake my head when any of those clowns are linked to jobs.  What a great job Bryan Robson is doing at Sheffield Utd he inherited one of the strongests squads in the championship and spent 8 million yet hes in the bottom half of the championship, what an awful manager.  

Bolton should have a serious re-think as Megson is utter dog shite.

I beg to differ with Souness. He did a good job at Rangers and Benfica. Newcastle was his only 'hiccup' really.

it baffles me that Megson is flavour of the month . He did a good job at West Brom and and absolute awful job at Forest.

That and buying Ali Dia, a player he'd never seen play and bought only on the basis that he thought he was Weah's Cousin.

didn't he only play for southampton for 1 game as a sub and then was subbed off 15 mins later.

he was a trialist that never even trained with the team. mental

That's the one

With West Brom his success was built on being solid but not great football - sounds like Bolton to a tee...

If I were a Bolton fan I'd be more than sceptical about it though.

He was at Southampton for a bit too and wasn't that great.  At Liverpool he was below average.

At Rangers he did alright but back then again it takes a truely awful manager to fail at Rangers/Celtic.  Celtic were notoriously poor back then too.

Souness is and always has been terrible.

He was rubbish at Benfica and got sacked after two seasons.

He's only loved in Turkey because of "the flag incident", which was class btw.

The key element in this is that Allardyce was appointed on a hunch, rather than any track record.    In other words he looked like the sort of fella who would fit into their norvern club.  Presumably Gartside thinks the same about Megson....he can't be all bad if Frank Burrows works with him.

   Who can ever forget Allardyce's classic choke at Blackpool which allowed the scum promotion in 95/96....does that make McMahon a better manager?

i don't think Fenebache Like him that much for that.

they even made him cut the grass

Ill eat my hat.

Cunt managed to keep them up.

oooh never noticed the Souness bit before.... HE only won anything at Rangers as Rangers had shit laods of cash at the time and no-one else did.

How did he do a good job at Benfica? He bought a bunch of British players, won bugger all for two seasons and got sacked.

At Liverpool he's now detested, good going for someone who was regarded as a god in his playing days, same at Southampton.

Which leaves Galatasary and Rangers. OK he won a cup with the Turks, but not the league. Which in a two horse race is pretty much failure.

At Rangers he was the figurehead but had a good backroom team including Walter Smith, and was lucky enough to be at the only club in the country with any bloody money, as it was at the time when the Celtic Board was split and the club was skint.

He is rubbish.

I think it was Souness who didn't rate Deco at Benfica, and so bought Mark Pembridge to take his place...

I dont rate Deco either, but I know who I would prefer out of the two. :soapy tit wank:
