Megson rejects 'scurrilous' claims

14 December 2009 11:11
Megson is reported to have gone 'nose to nose' with Samuel during a half-time rant at his players in the 2-1 defeat at Wolves nine days ago.[LNB]The report further claimed former England manager Steve McClaren is being lined up by chairman Phil Gartside to replace Megson due to his increasingly fractious relationship with the players.[LNB]Yet a defiant Megson said: "What went on with Jlloyd at Wolves was a professional thing in terms of an incident I saw on the pitch on which I was proven right.[LNB]"Jlloyd didn't think I was right, but he was shown a DVD of it at the time, and I was proven to be right. End of story. Finished.[LNB]"I feel I've every right to say what I feel. Jlloyd has his right to say what he feels, as does everybody else.[LNB]"It happened again on Saturday against City. I had a go at one of our players I thought should be doing better, and it will happen again tomorrow against West Ham."[LNB]Megson feels the story was written to cause mischief and undermine him at a time when he and Bolton are fighting for their lives in the Premier League.[LNB]"It (the story) was done on purpose," added Megson.[LNB]"I was disappointed when I saw it, but I'm not surprised at where it's come from.[LNB]"I know who has put it in there, I know why it was put in there, and no good can come from crap like that.[LNB]"The stuff that was in it, most of it was scurrilous, was deemed to cause problems, but it wasn't true.[LNB]"At the end of the day it's nothing to do with Bolton, nothing to do with football.[LNB]"It won't make any great difference, certainly not to myself, and if there are any people out there thick enough to believe in those kind of things, then fine."[LNB][LNB][LNB] Bolton 5/4, Draw 9/4, West Ham 9/4
