Newcastle United boss Sam Allardyce has returned to Bolton Wanderers in an attempt to land defender Abdoulaye Faye.

The People says Allardyce has gone back to The Reebok for the first time for one of his old players - and offered just £500,000 for the man he dubbed "a monster".

Wanderers supremo Phil Gartside is fuming about the offer, even with a further £500,000 thrown in based on appearances.
