Megson Watch

[Bwfc Nut]

Nut by name, nut by nature!

You do not support BWFC nutty it is physically impossible for one to hold such inept, crass and down right stupid views such as you hold over Megson and not be an inmate of Rampton.

Iam a BWFC fanatic got the Tattoo to prove it, 20 season ticket books/ Cards to prove it and lots and lots of away ticket stubs, but also i am a Football Fanatic, who loves the game and has a neutral look at things as well as just being biased on Bolton, i have my own views, the only way you can debate with them is the usual shit you all come out with, your not a Bolton fan blah blah blah. Im just not in your little fantasy bubble with you guys!

Hi

Im a Wednesday fan who lives in Bromley Cross, Bolton.
I went to watch Bolton under Megson and go occasionally now (im going to the West Ham game on Sat).

Megson was never popular from the moment he arrived at The Reebok and I can say, from experience, that he was never given a chance.

He came to you and did a job - namely he kept you up.
He turned an old team into a young team and many of his signings were inspired.

His footy was not great to watch but he kept you up and made you the force you are now (top-mid table).

Meggo is a Wednesday legend so we naturally took to him quickly and i can see the impact he is having, slowly, on a crap squad left to him by Irvine.

The one thing that seems most true, is you lot are more obsessed with him than he is with you!

Oreet mate.

I suppose for a fan of another club who didn't go to, or closely follow, the majority of games under Megson, it is hard to understand our views, and we seem ungrateful. Some points:

1.) I don't think the majority of our fans turned on him until last season. Yes the football and tactics were generally dire in his first two seasons, yes he upset a lot of fans by playing a weakened team in a winnable UEFA cup game, and yes he really seemed to take the flak he got early on to heart and never developed a relationship with the fans. However most fans understood that Big Sam had left the club in a mess and Megson, with it should be mentioned tremendous support from the owner and chairman, was trying to rebuild. It should also be stated that we were very, very lucky so stay up in 07/08. We stayed up by 1 point, but played badly at Middlesbrough and Tottenham towards the end of that season but somehow managed 4 points, whilst both those teams missed numerous gilt edged chances and our stand in goalkeeper performed miracles.

2.) The big problem started in the 2009 transfer window, and continued throughout the rest of 2009. First he spent £8.5m on defenders when that part of the team was functioning ok. The central midfield was devoid of creativity or any ability to retain possession but he only added one player there, a defensive midfielder, Sean Davis who unluckily for all got injured in the first few games. Until he was sacked the team played terribly, the defence, which by now Megson had spent £17m on, conceded lots of goals, the midfield was predictably terrible, and the attack containing Megson's flagship buy that was the £8.2m Elmander was looking goalless and disjointed. The only creativity came from an untried 21 year old winger from South Korea (Chung Yong Lee) who luckily for everybody settled far quicker than expected. And throughout all this Megson's tactics were non-existent, aside from the whole team charging around the pitch with no particular shape, and he continued to be distant and at times downright disparaging to the clubs fans. By the time he left the club had little confidence, morale, points, respect and most of us were struggling to find the energy to get to games.

I hope for the sake of Sheff Wed fans he does better there. But I predict that whilst he will probably get you out of your current hole, as that kind of predicament seems to suit his backs to the wall, hard working, honesty ethos, he will never produce a team to get you out of even that division (whilst he is manager that is), nor produce a team capable of playing attractive football. We shall see.

Im not even gonna waste my time on this................

Hope your looking forward to our free flowing football You will be on the edge of your seat for 90 minutes. On a serious note you'll need a neck brace because we still smash 60 balls a game up to Big Amazing Kevin Davies.

You have your own opinions mate but you can't just keep repeating them and expect folk not to question them.

Try to address the facts as presented here...
1) Why last season when Megson left were we 18th in the league with 18 points from 18 games, having just surrendered a 2 goal lead at home to Hull?

2) Why are we now in the top 10 and in an FA Cup semi final?

3) You rate Elmander highly it seems. Why was Elmander so desperate to leave if Megson had stayed. That is a fact as Elmander expressed it himself. Steinsson has said similar. These were Megson signings who didn't want to play for him!

Hang on - you just said we are all sad for going on there and talking about him!

I'll leave it thanks, hope Wednesday, rather than Megson, manage OK. Fans have suffered plenty and I know a few, all decent lads.

Do they actually stalk owls, or is it the owls that talk? Either way it seems like a natural habitat for a gardner.

I'm impressed as to how he could have raised his level of bullshit to banning levels.

Could someone provide a synopsis?
