The Bolton suits are hoping that the answer to that question is one, as they launch a scheme to try to get more fans to the Reebok Stadium with a ruse of startling simplicity: Give them a free beer. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Who will be the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season? Last term, it was Jose Mourinho who unexpectedly left his post first, although it’s pretty safe to assume that Phil Scolari will not be walking away from Stamford Bridge anytime soon. However, there are already one or two gaffers looking over their shoulders after just a handful of matches. [Read the rest of this entry »]

It’s often difficult to tell whether Premier League clubs care too much about the Carling Cup, especially when they make wholesale changes for these midweek matches. For example, Hull changed their entire team ahead of the visit to Swansea and couldn’t be too surprised when the Welsh club won the match. However, for Bolton, their humbling at home to Northampton was disappointing to the extent that you suspected they were pretty eager to win. [Read the rest of this entry »]

After all, a football club would be pretty pretty pretty foolish to let their best player leave for a few million, when he has the potential to make a difference over whether they stay up or not. This is not the first story linking this Fulham playmaker with a potential move back north, but surely he’s settled in the capital these days? [Read the rest of this entry »]

The Daily Mail reports that Bolton Wanderers have bagged Levante striker Mustapha Riga, but might have to partake in some legal malarkey in order to push the signing through.
According to the Mail’s press hounds:
“Riga is in dispute with his Spanish club after they failed to pay his wages for nine months.
“He has penned a two-year deal with Bolton on the proviso he can join them as a free transfer.
“Levante want a fee of £500,000 and the matter is expected to end up before a judge before his future is decided.” (Daily Mail)
Riga was one of the few rays of light in the pretty rancid Levante side last year, so even if Gary Megson and his Bolton boys have to cough up a few more readies, then it still looks to be a good deal.

Reverse psychology or is Gary Megson just stating how he sees it? Bolton managed to clamber above Birmingham in the Premier League last weekend, yet the Wanderers gaffer is making the Blues favourites to stay up at the expense of his team or Reading.
According to ITV, Megson thinks that City having two home matches left gives them a far greater chance of accruing the points required for survival, whereas his Bolton team still face trips to Tottenham and Chelsea.
“When you look at the games Fulham, Birmingham, ourselves and Reading have got I think you would probably look and say that Birmingham are favourites in this relegation battle to stay up because of the fact that they have got two home games,” Megson said.
“I know they got a poor result against Villa last week but I think one of the things they’ve got is a huge partisan crowd.
“I know very well from being in that part of the world and I don’t think it’s any coincidence the amount of penalties and free-kicks they seem to get at that place that have enabled them to pick up results.
“So I would say that Birmingham are probably favourites to get out of this because of the two home games.”
Alex McLeish’s men face an understrength Liverpool team on Saturday, while they’ll be playing a Blackburn team on the last game of the season with nothing but pride to play for. Meanwhile, Reading have a tricky trip to Wigan on Saturday, while they also have to host Tottenham and visit Derby.

Bolton fans might argue until they’re blue in the face that Kevin Davies is just a robust and physical striker. However, the facts are plain and simple; the striker has collected twelve yellow cards this season, bettering last season’s tally by two (although he did also pick up a red last term). Therefore, it’s a little churlish to start bemoaning your two-game suspension when you play such an ‘in-your-face’ style of football that’s always running the risk of being cautioned. The Independent report that Gary Megson is just ever-so-slightly concerned that his striker is missing for crunch games at Middlesbrough and Tottenham.
Megson went in pursuit of Peter Walton, hoping he could get the referee to rescind the yellow card even though he knew it was beyond the official’s powers. It was a manifestation of desperation and forlorn hope. “It’s a big blow,” the Bolton manager conceded.
Davies, whose importance to the dressing room means that he will travel to Teesside and London despite his ban, felt he had played the ball when he was cautioned for a foul on John Pantsil. “I thought it was a harsh booking,” he said. “In fact, I’m devastated by it. But someone else can step in now and be the hero. I hope it will be a sort of blessing in disguise.”
Have Bolton got somebody else who can ruffle the feathers of opposition defenders, stick their elbow in when it matters and generally make a nuisance of themselves? I suppose there’s always El Hadji Diouf, although it’s clear the Trotters will have to change their playing style with Davies watching from the sidelines.
