Megson unfazed by Coyle link

olton Wanderers boss Gary Megson insists he has not been affected by rumours that Owen Coyle has been lined up to take his job. Reports at the weekend claimed that the Trotters were looking to replace Megson with Burnley chief Coyle at the end of the season.The Premier League club issued a statement to reject the speculation and described the reports as 'unfounded, wholly unaccurate and rubbish'.Megson has also taken no notice of the rumours surrounding his future and accepts it comes with the territory of being a football manager."I didn't read it, but I have been told about it," Megson told the Bolton News. "I haven't really got a reaction to it - that's just part of what goes on around football. But it doesn't affect me." Maths don't add upMeanwhile, Megson says he will not be setting a points target for his Bolton team to ensure survival in the Premier League."It makes me laugh when people start doing it," he said. "You can't apply mathematics to football. It doesn't work. "I've heard other managers talking of the fact they haven't averaged a point a game, and what's to suggest they were about to change. "But last season we averaged 2.2 points from our last five games. If we'd have done that right the way through the season, we'd have won the league. "Nobody knows what it is going to be. You've got to just keep plugging away and not take your foot off the pedal."
