Fan power forced Megson out, admits Allardyce

SAM ALLARDYCE believes there was little Gary Megson could do to keep his job once Bolton’s fans had turned against him.

Megson was sacked on Wednesday after a 2-2 draw with Hull on Tuesday night left Wanderers 18th in the Barclays Premier League table.

Megson has endured a rocky relationship with the club’s fans almost from the moment he was appointed manager in October 2007 and was roundly booed during the match at the Reebok Stadium.
