Previous consortiums attempting to take over Bolton and relieve their financial issues, with Allardyce taking on a director of football role, “didn’t feel right”. There was also the offer from Newcastle to return following Rafael Benitez’s summer departure, and other offers from abroad.
“I suppose I’m semi-retired because it’s me turning the jobs down,” says Allardyce. “If there isn’t one that pops up this year, that might be finally it. But you never know — somebody might want saving again.”
