The Ginger Mourinho fights back against the Bolton boo-boys

Gary Megson has questioned the intelligence of the fans who abused him when Bolton blew a 2-0 lead at Blackburn yesterday and labelled them “pathetic”.

The Spoiler defended Megson’s record when he was criticised earlier this season but supporters have again turned on their “Ginger Mourinho” after a run of one league win in eight. Megson, who won manager of the month just two months ago, issued this defence:

“Will I ever win them (the boo-boys) over? No, no chance. I took this club further than it’s ever been in Europe, I kept them up after having five points from 10 games, I’ve taken the wage bill down. I haven’t spent a lot of money in doing that. I think it works out at £2.5m. Others have spent around £90m. If your face doesn’t fit, it doesn’t fit. You have to accept that.”

The last time serious protests were held against Megson was last April after they dropped back into the bottom three but the boo-boys were left with egg on their faces when a five match unbeaten run carried them to safety.

Is the Bolton boss unfairly targeted despite doing a good job because he lives in Sam Allardyce’s shadow or would the Trotters be doing better with someone else at the helm? Let us know what you think with a vote and comment below:
