Bolton boss Megson still working in Allardyce shadow

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sat, 11/21/2009 - 06:19

Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson is convinced he's still suffering in the shadow of Sam Allardyce.

The Trotters face Big Sam's Blackburn Rovers tomorrow.

And Megson says: "Is Sam's shadow still around the place? Yeah it is. Once a manager has worked at a place for a decent amount of time then that's bound to the case.

"And Blackburn will be judged against Kenny Dalglish when they were winning the title.

"But I said from day one that the team was mine.

"The team that we put out against Aston Villa in my first game. Anelka, Nolan, Diouf. That was my team. You are in charge from day one."
