Two more heads are on spikes down Management Alley – both Manchester City’s Mark Hughes and Bolton’s Gary Megson.
As for Megson, I both feel sorry for him and completely understand the decision. Although Bolton are firmly in the relegation battle, and are in the relegation zone, they have two games in hand on the rest of their bottom-of-the-table-buddies. They aren’t playing terrible football and an awful lot of their problems were caused when the fans turned against the management. Megson himself, in one of the emo moments which highlighted his last few games at the club, said that the fans never accepted him. I feel for the guy, as having rabid fan support is always more useful for a squad than any new player, coach or prostitute will ever be.
