Lenny Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Some of them showed appreciation to him. I can understand why they are feeling bitter over the whole situation but at the end of the day I think they would probably be a mid to play-off position championship club now if he hadn't been there for the past 7 years.

NG32 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Newcastle United are a team that talks big and does little. They make large sums of money available to incompetent managers who blow it on over-rated duffers. This is an ideal opportunity for big mouth Allardyce to fall flat on his face and stuff the Geordies for a big retirement cheque when they inevitably fire him. Good luck to the lot of them!

Skirge Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Can't blame them really, its enver been made clear why he did leave with 2 games elft, may have been a one of those where he said he wants to leave at the end of the season, dummy was spatt and he was told if your going then go now. I don't think it was ever arranged for him to leave them and come here or Man City, but one thing for sure him leaving did put extra pressure on Roeder. The return to the Reebok should be very interesting indeed, if they boo him its a disgrace after what he has done for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 FROM http://www.bolton.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=64810 Getting rid of your manager is an odd thing to do with one game of the season to go, but given Freddy Shepherd`s record on appointments it`s hardly surprising. The pattern is always the same. Appoint rubbish manager. Give him lots to spend. Then sack him. This time things may be different this time if speculation about Big Sam`s appointment is to be believed. Or will they? It`s customary that the new appointee is doing better than the person he replaced. In Allardyce`s case this isn`t so. In 2007, Bolton have won just four league games, taken sixteen points from a possible forty-eight and are conceding two goals a game. In the same period Newcastle have also won four and have gained one more point than the Trotters. In both cases, it`s relegation form over an extended period. Regular visitors to the Reebok will have noticed the change in Allardyce`s demeanour since the New Year. The overcoat-clad figure prowling the touchline, bellowing to anyone within earshot has gone, and been replaced by a disconsolate figure, with hands in pockets who looks as if he has no ideas on how to arrest his team`s slide. His assertion that he needed a break from football was entirely believable. Until Fat Freddy stuck his oar in. That Shepherd should try this sort of opportunism (or oppor-toon-ism, ho ho) is no surprise, but was Allardyce complicit all along? If he was, then as a prominent member of the League Managers Association, he should be ashamed at a move which involved removing a colleague, just so that he could have the job. Of course the speculation may be groundless. The close sources that are spoken of in the press may be waiters on a Spanish beach who are serving Sam pina coladas. It is to be hoped so. Back in Bolton, the first team is a mess. The defence is a shambles, there are gaping holes in midfield, the strikers don`t pass the ball to each other and morale is on the floor. The UEFA spot that should have been sealed weeks ago is in danger of slipping away. Would you really want to appoint the man who left his previous club in such a state?

Sounds just like the Blackburn fans when we went for Souness. At least there have been a couple more positive post from supporters this time around, but this kind of thing doesn't exactly help me get excited about the bloke.

Guest Gemmill Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 That just reads like bitter bollocks to me, BD. Perhaps Bolton fans should be more concerned at Gartside "doing a Shepherd" and appointing a bloke who, at best, should be a caretaker as their full time manager. Seems funny that this lot are all of a sudden turning on a bloke who's worked wonders with a small-town, smalltime club - it's understandable I suppose, but it lacks credibility.
