Bolton Wanderers
You simply have to be impressed by Sam Allardyce. By the sheer force of his personality. By his formidable achievements in establishing Bolton in the premiership. By the way in which he has embraced the very best of modern sports science. By his tactical shrewdness and the thoroughness with which he prepares his teams. By his ability to handle big names a talent which is normally associated with only a few high profile managers. By his honesty and integrity qualities which allow him to give credit to opposing teams and managers, even in defeat.
But in view of the comic-book defending (his phrase) which more than anything else caused Boltons defeat at Wigan and elimination from the Carling Cup, a result which left the big man gutted, the away teams dressing room would not have been the place to be last night.
Fergies legendary hairdryer treatment wouldnt have come close.
