Super John McGinley writes to a certain G Megson

What a legend!

Hope he sees it.

http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/wa ... Mr_Megson/
DEAR Mr Megson, I am writing to ask, as a Bolton Wanderers fan and former player that you stop whining on about your time at the Reebok Stadium and concentrate on the club you are currently managing.

I don’t know what Sheffield Wednesday supporters think about you harking back to Bolton every time you open your mouth, but on this side of the Pennines, it sounds very much like sour grapes.

This club will be forever grateful to you for righting the ship when you first arrived. It was a difficult job under difficult circumstances. But it’s now in the past.

You left us in no better shape than you found us, with an astronomical wage bill that is still being dealt with as I write.

You seem to take great delight in telling us that you have travelled the world over the past 12 months while Bolton Wanderers pay your wages.

But I’d suggest that if you keep carrying on in this way, you had better keep your gardening gloves handy because you’ll need them again quite soon.

You seem to worry a lot about our club but I’d like to assure you that we are fine. As I write, we are eighth in the Premier League and one game away from playing in the FA Cup semi finals at Wembley.

We have a manager who is respected by the fans and who reciprocates that respect at every opportunity he is given.

If we are lucky enough to qualify for Europe, and if Owen Coyle sees fit to play a weakened team, then he will credit the players for those performances and not claim some tactical masterstroke.

I am pleased you have found another job, and equally pleased you feel it is at a bigger club. I hope to see you again in the Premier League soon.

But I stress that Bolton Wanderers have moved on, and so should you.

Yours sincerely, John McGinlay
I'd rather support Bolton than be you.

It's only now appeared in three threads, to be fair.
In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

You're right, it deserves to be in every thread.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Assuming the players are also reading his quotes he is probably inspiring the players to play harder more now that he ever did when manager. Keep up the good work Gary.
