You don't swap your club captain for a player who is out for 2 months and a scallywag at that.

“The fans reaction should be thrown at us too because we’re the ones on the pitch. They’ve paid to come here today so they’ve got a right to say what they want but, as the captain, I can say all the players are right behind the manager.”

Thats the captain speaking a while ago, the same captain people are wanting to drive to Toon right now.

Bolton fans...

It's like this. Nolan was a passenger yesterday. In fact he has been a passenger for too many games. If the deal is right I think we can find better. The guys got a turning circle of an articulated lorry, sits on his heels, can't jump or tackle and struggles passing. If we make a few million quid for him, I won't be too sorry to see him go.

Plenty of folk are bemoaning the fact he makes the team, automatically replacing a plyer who's had two decent games covering him.

He'll be thanked, but not missed

Good luck to Nolan. He's been in poor form (and was shit yesterday) but has given his all for the club and has held the team together at times it's looked as though it's about to fall apart. He deserves better than what he gets, and so he's better off out of it. He's been treated like shit for years.

Be careful what you wish for indeed. This whole c*nt brigade of 'Megson Out' is going to come a self fulfilling prophecy. Give the players and the manager abuse up to the point where they just don't give a shit anymore, and then they can say 'I told you so' when we get relegated. Great. I'm almost past caring myself, Megson, Nolan and Gartside should just give the fans what they want and all leave, and then we'll see where we end up. Somewhere near shit creek i reckon. Hopefully if we do get relegated those hurling abuse will clear off and go support Wigan.

Agreed a fee quick enough, didn't we? Let's hope it's not as preposterously low as the initial reports suggest.

If that is the case I will be mightly pee'd off! I would be happy with 4.5 minimum, but 3mil is a joke. Did they pay something like that for Guthrie?

The signing of Veloso is out of Megsons hands. In fact it went out of his hands the second he told Gartside he was interested.

But lets not let the opportunity of another Megson witch hunt pass us by.

You've totally misunderstood what I was inferring, but nevermind.

A Megson witch hunt? What are you on about?

We've agreed a fee for our captain and we're ALREADY short on attacking midfielders. Unless we've got something spectacular to pull out of the bag, this is a bad move.

There's a huge difference between dropping someone to the bench, to send them a message and selling them to a relegation rival.

He'll be missed by me, he's a superb ambassador for the club, I'll miss him if he goes.

If megson sells nolan for less than 4 million then its a absolute joke...

He is ruining the club. Hes taking us down. Hes still manager.

Just heard from a source that it involves a cash deal plus the services of Nicky Butt...?!

3million for a player who has been out of form for years, out of fitness (if you ask some), and has one of the worst disciplinary records in the league? Yes please, provided we get a replacement.

Good homework, NW. Terrible business, BW.

They state that City offering them 5M for Givan is like spitting in their eye, then offer 3M for our club Captain.

You've got to give it to the Geordies.

They really are, proper dickheads!

Does that mean we will miss him on the pitch too?

Who gives a Ken Barlow about being an ambassador?

i just had a glance on the newcastle forum.they seem delighted with the deal,especially as they seem to have a fairly low oppinion of nicky butt

Time to go, time to go, time to go (I'm sure you all know how the song finishes).

Good riddance to bad rubbish if true.

Sure, he's been good for us down the years, but I've not seen him play well for around 3 years now. We cannot afford to carry him anymore.

So in that case... bye-bye.

Nicky Butt would be a bad move, already got McCann, Muamba and even young Basham to play defensive midfield, not forgetting JOB. Butt offers nothing going forward and is pretty much hated up there.

I'd say that saying he'd better have good security or should emigrate because we may theoretically not sign a player when it really isn't anything to do with Gary Megson is along the lines of a witch hunt, yeah.

Anyway, moving on.
If we are only getting £3mil for Nolan, it seems that the rest of the footballing world don't rate him too highly either. Where's the bidding war?

Was more what I was reffering too, on the whole I have been pro megson, he saved us last year and has stabilised the mess that little sam left behind. My point is that by selling a midfielder who is currently in the first team regardless of who they are and not replacing them. (a Midfield we all acknowledge as being short of a player or two) Is near suicide and could potentially undo all the hardwork of the last 18 months

Its the club who agree the money, its not all down to the manager. I love how people just want to find something to throw at Megson.

Anyone else think it's a coincidence that we decided to give him the operation this week instead of whilst he was suspended?
