  • He said: "We have made decisive decisions over the past few weeks and this is one of them.



    "It is not about me, Gary Megson or any other individual. It is all about Bolton surviving in the Premier League.



    "We have to be fully focused on the task ahead to make sure we achieve immediate success.



    "I have spoken to the staff and the players and we are all committed to getting behind Gary and turning our fortunes around.



    "We feel Gary is the right man to take Bolton forward.



    "We have been able to interview a number of quality candidates and after due consideration decided to offer him the post.



    "I have paid particular attention to his career and he has demonstrated to me he is prepared to roll his sleeves up.



    "He has the right temperament for a battle, which this season is undoubtedly going to be."
