There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Tells us nowt!!!!!
Tells us what they should be doing. Bit of reasoning behind the transfer. Not from Megson but from the club itself, might come out soon though.

No doubt Nolan will have some very negative things to say about Bolton, Megson, pies etc next week so expect some fireworks.
Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

Might be more about Philly G than Megson, Megson don't seem to pleased.

I have it on good authority, can't tell you who my source is sorry, That Nobby does not want to go to The Toon, he did'nt when Big Sam took over & does'nt want to go now. He rang Megson as soon as he heard the news and Megson said he did not know about it either. So either this is the work of Gartside or Megson is lying. In the meantime , as of last night, so he may have changed his mind since then, Nolan was mulling over whether or not to even talk to Newcastle. The lad is not happy about what has gone on.

My own view is look at our record when he does'nt play, I'm sure someone can get it up on here but last time I saw it it was atrocious .

That is for ever England

Worrying. The last thing we need is for the club to explode into internal war at this time.

Last 3 games without Nolan (when he was suspended)
Beat Hull 1-0 away
Lost to Arsenal in 86th minute away
Lost to United in 90th minute at home

Not that bad is it.

Previous to that its been awful, but under Megson I don't think its been as bad. He was influential when Allardyce was here but not as much now.

SSN report it's a done deal, got himself a 4.5 year deal.

Thanks for the good times, some cracking goals over the years but it's been a full year since last got a goal and I can't remember him going particularly close since that goal at Reading either.

Playing 4-5-1 we need goals from central midfield and he's not been getting them, let's see if anyone else who comes in can.

Right. Well I think its about time the club made some sort of statement to tell us what the fooking hell has just happened.

Bloody hell, this feels weird now. Before I was pretty nonchalant about it, but seeing that flash up on Sky just now made me realise it has happened. Got a bit tingly. Crazy, maaaaaaan.

Sounds dubious to me.
If he didn't want to go, and Megson told him he knew nothing about it, why not just turn down the contract they offered him?
He's not obliged to leave, simply because the club accept a bid for him.

I'm just now noticing it but in all the pictures I'm seeing on the web Nolan looks more like 36 than 26.

A TWers look at his Bolton career is most definitely needed, in article form.
