Megson admits to Trotters trouble

Bolton manager Gary Megson has rounded on some of his disgruntled players, accusing them of trying to destabilise the Reebok Stadium club.

Megson, however, insists he will not let the dark dressing room mood dissuade him from getting the team out of the relegation zone.

Bolton have slipped down the Premier League and remain in trouble following the 2-0 home defeat by local rivals Blackburn on Sunday.

Asked if certain players are trying to destabilise the club, Megson said on BBC Radio Manchester: "Yes, there are bound to be one or two who are not going to be too happy.

"But you have to get on with those kind of things. It's not something that is entirely different at this club than any others.

"You have to make sure it does not become an issue. I am sure it won't be. It is about the players who are playing and the squad that is out there.

"If you are in, great, if you are not, you have to get on with it. If another club comes in for you, then you may move on."

"STEINSSON DID NOT NEED REPLACING, HE IS FAR BETTER THAN RICKETTS, AND WHY DOSE HE START TWO DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS AT HOME AGAINST THE RIVALS WITH A LEFT FOOTED PLAYER ON THE RIGHT, HES A JOKE, NO PASSION, TOO NEGERTIVE AND HAS MADE ME GET UP ON A SATURDAY AND NOT WANT TO GO TO THE MATCH ANY MORE. IT USED TO BE GREAT BEING A BOLTON FAN BUT NOW THE WHOLE SET UP IS RUBBISH. CANNOT STAND THAT FANZONE OF WHICH THE STAFF TELL YOU TO CLEAR OFF AFTER THEY HAVE GOT OUR MONEY AND THEM EMBARRASING DRUMS THAT RING OUT THE SAME BEAT ALL GAME EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO ATMOSPHERE, THE TOTAL UN-CREATIVE FANS THAT HARDLEY SING AND WHEN WE DO ITS THE SAME TWO CHANTS THAT JUST REPEAT THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER, IF NOT ITS JUST BOOOO'S.

"Yet again the man refuses to take the blame. Get out of our club Megson you have turned us into a laughing stock."

"joeyvvontonk, we're not the worst side in the le ague by a long way, but we're stuck with an inept manager who couldn't manage to order himself meals on wheels. We have some good players and unfortunately they're probably the ones who are disgruntled because they can't get a game ahead of someone like sam ricketts, paul robinson etc. "

"I played footy at the weekend and the opposing keeper was the image of megson. he was a load of old plop as well. i like bolton, i dont much like megson. great championship team manager where work ethic superseeds quality. this is the EPL though smegson, its work ethic with a pinch of class, a twist of quality and a fistful of mental strength. "

"Bolton don't have goals in them... I was told today that Megson's parting gift to leaving players is a Mars Bar!"

"Looks like that is aimed at steinsson... I know who I'd rather see leave!! No chance of another club coming in for you Gary!"
