CumbrianRam Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Gary Megson has been sacked as Bolton manager after two years at the helm. Megson, 50, was booed by fans in Tuesday's draw with Hull and claimed such negativity was affecting his side. Assistant boss Chris Evans and first team coach Steve Wigley will initially take charge of the Trotters, who are 18th in the Premier League. A statement on the club website read: "The decision has been taken in light of the position the club finds itself at the halfway point of the season." Megson becomes the third Premier League boss to lose his job this season and the second in less than a fortnight following Mark Hughes' exit from Manchester City. Meanwhile, Paul Hart parted company with Portsmouth in November. Ironically, Hughes has been installed as the favourite to take over at Bolton, with Darren Ferguson, Paul Jewell and Alan Curbishley listed as other possible candidates. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bolton_wanderers/8434719.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 He's had 2 years and Bolton have just got worse. My money would be on Coppell or Curbishley, both have done well on small budgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dog Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Bolton have done a sensible thing, he did absolutely square FA at Forest i was amazed when i saw a man who couldn't manage (at the time) a League one team be offered a premier league job.
