Evans urges Trotters to keep focus
Evans, aided by head coach Steve Wigley, will take charge of the team for the first time following Gary Megson's sacking.[LNB]A home FA Cup third round tie against League Two Lincoln would appear to be an ideal fixture to start off with.[LNB]However Evans will make sure complacency does not set in.[LNB]He said: "The FA Cup is held dear to all football people. It is not any different here.[LNB]"We will be professional in our approach and give Lincoln all the respect they deserve.[LNB]"It is our intention to go quietly about our business to make sure there is as little disruption as possible.[LNB]"We will be well prepared so we give ourselves every opportunity to make progress in the cup."[LNB]Meanwhile Megson has nothing but praise for the people he has left behind.[LNB]In a statement released through the League Managers' Association, he said: "Naturally I am saddened to receive the news from the club and disappointed not to have been given the opportunity to at least see out my contract.[LNB]"It is a great honour to manage at Premier League level and I am also proud to have managed a club with great history and tradition.[LNB]"I would to thank the players and all the staff for their efforts during my time in charge and I wish the club every success in the future."[LNB]LMA chief executive Richard Bevan believes Megson did a good job at the Reebok Stadium.[LNB]He said: "Gary is vastly experienced in the game with Bolton being his eighth club and he was becoming an established Premier League manager.[LNB]"After taking charge of a side that was at the foot of the Premier League he certainly achieved success by leading the club to a 13th place finish last season.[LNB]"With the club currently on a four game unbeaten run and only five points short of 10th-placed Sunderland with two games in hand, there was every opportunity for Bolton to make a sudden surge up the table."[LNB][LNB]
