Happy Face 27 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 THE SUN newspaper are claiming that Sam Allardyce has told Bolton Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside that he will be quitting at the end of the season. It is not clear exactly why Allardyce has chosen to quit the club he has been in charge of since October 1999. During his time at the club, Allardyce has transformed Bolton into an established Premiership outfit and the news will come as a big blow to everyone who is connected to the club. One claim is that Allardyce may have been tapped up by a member of the consortium bidding to take over at Manchester City. A member of the Eastlands board is believed to support the Ray Ranson bid and a move for Allardyce. Might Shepherd gazump Man City? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've got an option in Roeder's contract to release him at the end of this season and we were getting Allardyce as his replacement. Usually i'd be skeptical but he got Sibierski and Rossi right.

Gemmill 716 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 Someone linked to it on here, think it was Skol actually. Saying that Roeder got hauled over the coals after (I think) the Man City game, and that Shepherd is very confident of being able to replace him with Allardyce in the summer. Supposedly this kid is a bit of an ITK and has got stuff right before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bombadil 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 To be honest, I doubt Roeder would be allowed to work on transfers for next season (i.e. Sidwell) if the Fat One was planning to sack him soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should know we can use that word in conjunction with anything the fat man does! Why not let Roeder mess about with transfers and then kick him out, its the Shepherd way!

Fop 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 He could well have something else lined up (it would make sense), but equally he might want to get out of Bolton before the wheels fall off (he's not likely to make them Premiership winner nor make them regular Champions League contenders and fans expectations rise quickly and tend to stay there).
