Tabloids Stir Up Sam Rumours

Last updated : 02 September 2004 By Mark Heys
When will they ever understand that "no" means "no", obviously it is clear to see this morning that some tabloid newspapers just cannot take the hint.

Yesterday an official club spokesperson denied there had been any contact from Newcastle United over the acquiring the services of Sam Allardyce yet The Sun newspaper has been talking about compensation packages being agreed and private jets being flown to Spain to collect our much coveted manager.

Then furthermore the Independant claims that Allardyce will not be able to resist the lure of a "big" club for much longer. I am sure fans of Birmingham City, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa all feel the same as we do as their managers have been branded around the press as the successor to Sir Bobby Robson but one things for sure everyone at that "little" club Bolton will fight tooth and nail so that Big Sam will not be tempted by the lure of such a "big" club as Newcastle.

The fact that our ever improving club has been disrespected in such a way is further proof that the media still take us too lightly so this should be further ammunition for us to go out and better the achievements of last seasons successes.

Sam Allardyce will stay at Bolton and it will take more than The Sun newspaper to lure him away. £1.5 million would not even buy his managerial notepad nevermind his services.
