I mean if Bolton Wanderers is nothing more than a pile of profit and loss accounts (and a social media project) to you then you're likely to see miss a lot of important detail.
For what ever it is worth, I first started watching Bolton matches in the mid 1960's and have watched them fairly consistently since until just a few years ago.
I've never counted the numbers of Bolton games I attended but it most be close to, or even exceeding a thousand.
I and many others on here have seen us in lower divisions, with poorer players and probably with bleaker prospects.
God knows how much money I've spent over the year following the club, a fair site more than you have even at todays prices I would hazard a guess. I'd certainly be a lot richer now if I hadn't!
If you or anyone else thinks I'm a shit fan because of whatever you judge me by, then fair enough, I won't be losing any sleep over it.
If you or anyone else think Coyle was the bees knees and Megson the worst manager who ever lived, then that's ok with me too. My view, based on my head rather than my heart is very much different.
I don't give a toss about if anyone else even agrees with me or not, I mean what have I got to gain either way if they do or they don't?
I do however have the right to give my opinion.
I'm not abusive with it and equally, nor am I forced to shut up and shrink away when someone posts something contrary to them. I try to respect peoples views even though I don't hold them myself, although I don't like the diatribe of abuse that is sometimes contained within them (I don't include you in this).
Again for the record my little asides of 'thank you Owen' are simply my attempts of humour. I know I'm certainly not the best of posting funny quips on here but I do try from time to time and apologise to all if they fall flat.
As for this poll the majority of people who have voted think Megson was the BEST of our five most recent managers - maybe they all have the same agenda as me perhaps or maybe, just maybe (and unlike you)they actually thought he was!
