Bolton Wanderers F.C. ~ European Dreams, Premiership Hopes ~ ![]() Team Information Full Name Bolton Wanderers Football Club Founded 1874 as Christ Church FC Nicknames The Trotters Owner Eddie Davies Chairman Phil Gartside Manager Gary Megson Assistant Manager Chris Evans Head Coach Steve Wigley Captain Kevin Nolan Vice-Captain Kevin Davies League Barclays Premier League Derbies and Rivals ~ LancashireDerby Bolton vs. Blackburn Rovers ~ ~ Greater ManchesterDerby Bolton vs. Manchester UTD ~ ~ Local Derby Bolton vs. Wigan Athletic ~ Fun Fact Voted 7th most hated team in 2008 Club History However, the club has not won a major trophy since their last FA Cup victory in 1958, and the FA Charity Shield that same year. The team has spent more of their time in the top tier of English football than any other. They have spent the majority of their time since the creation of the English Premiership in the mid 1990s as a member of the top flight. The most recent success of the club came during the reign of Sam Allardyce. Allardyce lead the Wanderers to the 2004 League Cup but they would fall just short in a loss to Middlesbrough. The teams 6th place finish in 2005 secured them a place in the UEFA Cup. The following year the team would make the last 32 but were eliminated by French side Marseille. Allardyce led the team to four consecutive top half finishes in his last four years before his resignation. Sammy Lee, former assistant to Allardyce took the helm and helped the Wanderers secure a spot in the 2007-2008 UEFA Cup. Lee would however fail to live up to the standards of his predecessor Allardyce and after only one win in eleven matches of the 2007 season he was replaced by Gary Megson who led the Wanderers to a 16th place finish narrowly escaping relegation after several years of consistently top half finishes. Megson just recently broke the club transfer record with the £8.2 million purchase of Johan Elmander from Toulouse on June 27, 2008. Trophy Cabinet Major Honors. FA Cup Winners 1923, 1926, 1929, 1958 FA Runners Up 1894, 1904, 1953 League Cup Runners Up 1995, 2004 FA Charity Shield 1958 Second Tier Honors. Football League First Division Champions 1997 Football League Second Division Champions 1909, 1978 Football League First Division Playoff Winners 1995, 2001 Third Tier Honors. Football League Third Division Champions 1973 Football League Trophy Winners 1989 Football League Trophy Runners Up 1986 Other Honors.

Central League Champions 1955, 1995 Premier Reserve League North Champions 2007 Front Office Chairman ![]() Gartside has seen the club consolidate its holding as a mid to top table club in the premiership and has seen the club enter in the UEFA Cup for the first time in its history. Manager ![]() Megson was not first choice for the job, but he was able to keep the club in the premiership and avoid relegation of a team under his control for the first time in his personal history. His victory over Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Cup last 16 in 2008 was squandered when he played a reserve side against Sporting Lisbon in the following match missing the teams best chance at a major trophy since 1958. The effort to save strength for a Premiership relegation match against Wigan also was a waste as the 10-man Latics defeated the starting 11 on the weekend after the Wanderers were ousted from the UEFA Cup. The sale of Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea in January of 2008 for £15 Million Pounds has yet to bear fruit for the new boss as no replacement was purchased at the time. The success of Anelka at Chelsea in Partnership with Didier Drogba has left many Bolton fans in wanting after the sale. The June purchase of Johan Elmander from Toulouse will be seen if it has any bearing on the coming season.

![]() Manager Gary Megson and Chairman Phil Gartside sit down with ESPN Soccernet’s Richard Jolly ![]() Rich: Hello to both of you and thank you for taking the time to sit and talk with me this afternoon. Phil: Your welcome Richard. Gary: Thank you for having us. Rich: Now down to business fellows shall we? Phil: Of course Rich: After last seasons relegation battle and 16th place survival finish, where do you look to go from here. Phil: Hopefully up Rich, that would be the best course I would believe, I cant say Mr. Davies(Club Owner Eddie Davies) would like to see us do worse. Gary: It was a tough year, and it was a fight to the finish, but I believe we showed our resiliency by being able to pull it together at the end. Rich: Gary this was the first time you were able to keep a squad up after a relegation fight. How has it helped your conscience to know that the board is behind you. Gary: It is a great thing to have the board behind you even after tough times. Phil and the rest of the board members at the club have been really good to me, and I believe there is a bright future for the club. Rich: Phil, what are your current expectations for the club this year? Phil: I believe we have to make a push to get back into the top half. Sammy (Allardyce) proved that it was possible for us to compete in the top half even though we are a lower budget club. We are going to have to take it one step at a time. I know we have made around £6,000,000 available for the rest of the transfer period, and we will see where it goes from there.Gary and I have had multiple conversations this last month, and it looks like we are going to try and make a few more moves, and send some youngsters out on loan. Rich: With transfers in mind Gary, do you have any prospects in mind currently? Gary: We are looking at several players and having conversations with several other premiership clubs. We are trying to bring in probably three more players. We are going to have to do a little more to the defense and the midfield, and Kevin Davies needs a true strike partner to help make the addition of Johan Elmander as our new right winger, truly effective. We are looking at some out of favor players from several English clubs and some new youthful acquisitions from other clubs around the continent. It is up to me to bring in the new players under budget, and if I want anything to use in January I am going to have to bring in the players to earn the boards support to request transfer funds in the next window. Rich: It certainly seems that you two have a plan, and it looks like we should be seeing and hearing good things from Bolton Wanderers this season. Good luck to you both and to the club on the upcoming season. Phil: Thank you Rich Gary: Always a pleasure Rich, and thanks.
