2008-09-19T10:00:40+00:00

Bolton bid for midfielder rejected

2008-09-01T08:28:47+00:00

Gary Megson is said to have had a bid of €10 million shot down for Atletico Madrid midfielder Maniche. It's thought that a three-year deal is waiting if a move can be facilitated.

They're Doomed!

2008-08-28T16:50:00+00:00

I know it's only two games into the Premiership season but you can't help speculating who will be the first manager to get the big El Bow.

Alan Cubishley has to be a hot favorite. The Hammers poor start, coupled with an indifferent season last year are likely to be making him feel very insecure, whatever he says.

One Jump Ahead

2008-08-27T18:15:00+00:00

You know how I sometimes say "You heard it here first"?

I just want you to know its the truth.

For example I was talking about this issue back in August last year.

And do you remember the time I predicted Gary Megson would become the Foxes' manager? And I was right of course (although to be fair, with the advantage of hindsight I wish I hadn't been)

Now it seems some people are recognising that the idea of team GB is politically driven.

Bolton go out of the Carling Cup to end any chance of glory

2008-08-27T07:30:16+00:00

Bolton boss Gary Megson doen't always treat the Carling Cup with much respect. He is not unlike many other managers when he rests much of his first team from playing in the early rounds of the competition. Last season, he even did the same in the Uefa Cup. Last night a weakened Bolton side went out of the Carling Cup in a 2-1 defeat at home to League One Northampton Town.

Premiership Preview--17. Bolton Wanderers

2008-08-02T17:25:00+00:00

For everyone outside of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal, success in the Premiership can be fickle. We saw it last year with Tottenham, who wound up an extremely disappointing 11th after two straight 5th-place finishes. We saw it last year with Reading, a club that was relegated a season after finishing comfortably in 8th place.

The New Away Kit. Seriously?

2008-07-29T13:26:14+00:00

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
The home kit I took as a mistake, maybe some idiot just OK'd the design. I could live with that shirt, it wasn't the ugliest thing that I have ever seen, but this? Come on, seriously? It honestly looks like someone threw up on the home kit and didn't rub the stain out fast enough so that it set in.

Gary Megson has wasted no time in replacing El Hadji Diouf, and has immediately captured the signing of Dutch under 21 international Mustafa Riga from Levante.

Cavalieri Charge Liverpool Close In On Keeper

2008-07-05T09:05:00+00:00

Liverpool have prepared for Scott Carson's exit by making a £3m offer for the Brazilian goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri, although their £10m valuation of the England international is frustrating his hopes of a move away from Anfield.

Bolton show ambition with Elmander capture

2008-06-29T16:54:28+00:00

Bolton Wanderers, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, have signed Sweden striker Johan Elmander on a three-year deal from French club Toulouse in a deal believed to be worth about £10million. The twenty-seven year old striker started two of Sweden's three Euro 2008 group matches and the former Brondby striker scored a hat-trick against Bordeaux in the final match of the 2007 season, guiding his side to third in France's Ligue 1 as well as clinching a Champions League qualifying slot.
