Jules, I agree but it would keep the fans happy in the short term I expect.
George, yeah I imagine the poor man's Fat Sam would be considered acceptable to Bolton fans. Doesn't matter that he is a loud mouthed thick cunt with not much ability. In fact that would probably work to his advantage.

Wasn't he the Fat Controller's assistant at Bolton for a spell? Maybe they remember him from then. Otherwise, however Allardyce is remembered there - fondly for where he got them in the league, or not fondly for leaving them in the lurch - is presumably how they'd regard Permatan, at least to begin with. He would start with one sizeable advantage though, that of not being Smegson.
