Do you think that Milan gave it the kiss of death on Smegons 1st day??? I hope he brings in a man that is twice that of the Ginger Twat !!!

No. I do think it was fated though - it was a bad appointment.

it was quite amusing because it was quiet chanting at first then Smegson looked over when he heard and everyone started singing it to the Ginger Gimp his face was a picture one of those Kodak moments - PRICELESS

you can hardly say the fans outed him
manager's are motivated by money and ambition
if i was in charge of a just-above-relegation championship dictatorship and a just-about-to-be-championship premiership team came along i'd go
higher profile, more money and there's a chance of winning a game or two
(ok i lied about the last bit)
the only thing that made him move to Bolton was not our fans and his crap results, but Gartside who appears to have some sort of aneurism in the decision making bit of his brain

Wasnt it Megson who said that little comment anyway?
Thought of it when I first heard the news - amazing coincidence.
Bolton all but certain of going down.

You have to admire Megson's spherical objects: if he was unpopular at Leicester, it would appear that that he will have no warmer welcome from the Bolton fans - and with the media coverage in the Prem being so much greater, any dissension will be played out in a much more public arena.
I nearly feel sorry for him..... but not quite!

TWICE???? - One thousand times the man and our new manager will be acceptable.
Hello I'm new here but, like many others, I feel a bit frustrated by the club right now and would like to add my voice to the discussion if I may.
I'm pleased to see Megson go for the same reason I was disappointed to see him arrive, in other words that it inevitably brought negative football - and football that wasn't in keeping with many of the players Allen had previously brought in. I support Mandaric because I have to, but he has to take the ultimate responsibility. He appointed a manager who, within three months, he deemed completely unsuitable for the post. Then he appointed another manager who the fans were quite vocally opposed to.
In the end, the fans were responsible for Megson leaving. The response during the Sheffield United game did to him what, 11 years ago, it very nearly did to Martin O'Neill. From suggesting that he'd stay on Monday, suddenly Megson requested to leave the club on Tuesday night. This happened because Mandaric had not respected the fans' wishes and treated the appointment of a manager with worrying flippancy. We could also see this when he said he'd sack a hundred managers if it got us where we wanted to go. Yes, Phil Gartside's 'aneurysm' and the strange involvement of Mark Curtis brought about these circumstances, but Megson knew very well that with those sorts of results and that sort of rapport, he couldn't look forward to a successful career at City.
I think that when Mandaric views his appointments with an eye to the long-term, only then will the club achieve the sort of stability it has sorely missed so far under his leadership. Until he does, we'll continue in what is - from a factual perspective - the least successful spell in Leicester City's history. Sadly, when he says he is already speaking to candidates and will only - yet again - employ someone who is currently out of a job, the signs are not good. People are usually out of a job for a good reason and that brings us back down to a few obvious candidates, namely Reid, Roeder, Pearce, Hoddle, McAllister, Newell and Jewell. Unfortunately there is only one name on that list who anybody could seriously, objectively consider a rock solid appointment, and he almost certainly isn't interested.
That doesn't mean to say that Peter Reid, for instance, wouldn't be a success and I'd swap him for Megson any day. In the end, though, it boils down to this. If Milan starts treating his appointments with the seriousness they deserve, then and only then will we start to make progress. And if it goes wrong again, he'll have no choice but to accept the full wrath of his paying public.

I wouldnt read to much into what MM say's on TV. If he wants a certain manager working or not he will enquire, it is a business after all.
I just dont understand why Bolton would want Megson?? Surely they would have an idea he'd be very unpopular, his prem record is 48 games 7wins not great really is it!
