i doubt he will find out before its announced... Non of the man city players knew hughes was going even though the decision was basically decided the week before...

I think Megson has been pretty unlucky, I am not sure what Bolton expect to achieve but maintaining their premiership status means they have been punching above their weight for many years.

It is not like they have been used to a diet of brilliant expansive football in the past, me thinks they might live to regret this decision, thinking the grass is greener on the other side.

[Horneris]

I think they were going down either way and will still go down.

[pleno1]

2 games in hand, win those and towards top half. will be pretty com if Hughes goes.

[TightEnd]

Megson to Sheff Wed.

Either he or Irvine would stand a decent chance of keeping them up

end of the day it's tough for the chairman to continue to support hiim when the fans hate him.

Agree he's done as well as he can. Personally I hope they rot. Love it when fans think they're better than they are. I seem to remember Charlton calling for Curbishly's head when they had a bit of success and they were "languishing" in the bottom half

Look where they are now

not really. there was never a time when he was hated, not even disliked. in fact I can't remember a time when he was anything but loved at the valley. there was a period when we were close to europe but not quite there when it was thought he wasn't the man to push us that bit further but that was obv while we were top half and doing very well. in the end he left as a hero, very different to the megson situation

Not sure how you quantify that, only 11 teams have more top flight years under theuir belt than Bolton?

Before my time as a Bolton fan, but you'd be wrong there as well, historically Bolton have been a pretty attacking team, that changed largely unde Fatso, and totally under Megson. And even under Allardyce, the days of JJ & Djorkaeff are pretty fresh in the memory.

Not how I remember it. Perhaps as a fan you're more qualified than me but the way I remember it was that a lot were calling for his head, that he had taken the club as far as he could. Obv he left a hero but people wanted a change. Well done the fans.

The fact is fans know fuck all about football, fuck all about how to run a club and are as so ridiculously fickle they just forget the times when they were some half team in league one/two.

Simple question - would you have him at your team as your next manager?  This is so reminiscent of Jimmy Calderwood, everyone telling fans how lucky we were to have him, but once he gets sacked, astonishingly no-one else wants to employ him. Funny that. It'll be a long time before Megson manages again, if ever.
