(chinny)

 

Megson, another name to add to the mysterious list of managers who always get mentioned

So far I've got</p>

Bryan Robson</p>

Mark McGhee</p>

Any others to add to that list</p>

* (or jobs for teams that the media think are Premiership possibles)</p>

Why, have they sacked Megson

Or is he due for his P45

 

RE: Why, have they sacked Megson

Bolton Are Trying To Get Him

 

bonkers but they seem ultra keen............

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="629" border="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><div class="mxb"><div class="sh">Bolton want Megson as new manager </div></div></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 416px" valign="top"><font size="2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="203" align="right" border="0"><tbody><tr><td><div> </div></td></tr></tbody></table>Leicester manager Gary Megson is the front-runner to become the new Bolton manager, BBC Sport understands.

Graeme Souness was interviewed for the post last week but Bolton chairman Phil Gartside has confirmed the Scot is not interested in succeeding Sammy Lee. </p>

Now Gartside looks set to turn to Megson and he is believed to be prepared to pay &pound;300,000 to get him. </p>

Bolton are understood to want to make an appointment before Sunday's Premier League match against Aston Villa. </p>

Foxes chairman Milan Mandaric has already warned Bolton off Megson but the 48-year-old has yet to sign a contract at Leicester since taking the reins last month. </p>

And Bolton, who are bottom of the Premier League, are willing to pay compensation to prise him away from the Walkers Stadium. </p>

They have been searching for a new boss since sacking Lee on 17 October and placing Archie Knox in temporary charge. </p>

Gartside revealed on Tuesday that former Rangers, Liverpool, Blackburn and Newcastle manager Souness would not be the man to take over at the Reebok Stadium. </p>

He said: &quot;Graeme Souness was a candidate on our target list and he has now decided to remove himself from the interview process. </p>

&quot;Having interviewed him last week, I know he would have been an exceptional candidate for the role. </p>

&quot;However, I respect Graeme's decision to pull out of the process and I wish him well for the future.&quot; </p>

Gartside has also been thwarted in his efforts to assess two other candidates, having been refused permission to talk to Birmingham boss Steve Bruce and Real Sociedad coach Chris Coleman. </p>

Former Fulham boss Coleman joined the Spanish second division side in the summer and they are keen to keep hold of him. </p>

&quot;He has a three-year contract with us and he is the coach who we are placing our confidence in for that period,&quot; Sociedad sporting director Salva Iriarte said. </p>

&quot;He's happy here, committed to the project and keen to carry on. I've no doubt that he will be our coach for the next three years.&quot;

Graeme Souness FFS

Why him for Bolton. Seem to recall he has not had much success recently. (doh) (doh)

 

he was on my list of mysterious "top" managers

I think John Gregory might have now done enough to get him off that list, but he's had to work hard at it.</p>
