NO TO FAT SAM

Bring back Souey.

It's a tough one... Neither are ideal, but then again neither is our current situation. Under pressure I'd say Souey.... Oh god, I can't believe I said it :o

I doubt he's daft enough to rule out well paid employment at the top level because of a facebook page.

He could easily have ruled himself out or suggested the chance had gone on Goals On Sunday this morning - he didn't. Very diplomatic as most managers are when the vacancy isn't available yet but there was certainly a suggestion there that he would be interested.

Anyone Rovers fan that would actually vocally object to him coming in now must be a complete tool in my opinion.

OK then I am one. I want rid of Ince but I don't want Allardyce. I wish I knew who I did want because I can't see Souness being any good either

I suppose we should start making a list of possibles with prem experience - in case the club does read this message board. We maybe able to give them an idea of who to go for.

Available are (not in order)

BFS

Souness

Curbishley

Keegan

Those people shouting for Souness to be brought back. Didn't Dunn leave the club solely down to the way Souness treated him and other players. Considering how talismanic Dunn could be for us in the coming months, could he get over this and work for Souness. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then but I just wonder...

Yep I think that was the main reason. I also seem to remember Cole reporting Souness to the PFA for "victimisation". The first incident of it's kind!

Souey mucked things up at the end, but people forget that Bolton were quite dreadful under Fat Sam for many periods too. But the difference is Bolton played some of the most boring football in the premiership, while under Souey, at least in his first seasons, we played our best this decade - and that with mostly championship players.

How many live Bolton games did you get to during Sam's time there? Apart from our local derby games with them?

People keep mentioning the terrible football played by Allardyce's sides but I've not heard any Bolton fans complain about him. Hell, I'd settle for a few boring games right now if they were Rovers victories!

I would be quite happy to see Allardyce in at Ewood as soon as possible. However, I work with a few Bolton fans. They were hapy when they were winning but they said it was awful to watch when they were going through bad spell. Believe me, some complained.

There's only Sam.

Souness would be a disaster. Does nobody remember how much he had lost the plot at the end of his stint here?

Hmmm I'll tell you what I do remember........

1. He stubbornly insisted on playing players out of position. Remind us of anyone else? :rolleyes:

2. He got us out of the 2nd Div BUT We'd have been relegated for sure if he had not gone when he did.

3. Dodgy deals. Grabbi and the Italian job and Ferguson the Scottish sting.

4. An attitude to european competition that was at odds to our own fans and football fans of just about every other team that I have spoken to.

On the other hand...

5. Brad and Tugay.

6. Cardiff.

Hells teeth Hasta! Arsenal fans have been on Wengers case when they've dropped points this season!

RE: players out of position - Why do you think Souness lost the plot like he did? When you consider the teams that he built during his time here. Players like Dunn, Duff, Berkovic, Tugay, Jansen, Cole, Sukur etc. Then we ended up with Dominic Matteo and Gresko playing midfield, and Paul Dickov as our number one striker. It just feels really strange how he completely lost the plot and turned into us into a second-rate side devoid of confidence.

I was just pointing out to Jisty that some Bolton fans did moan about it.

Don't get me wrong, he is my preferred choice by a long way.
