Bolton part company with boss Lee

[Baaheeduk]

Bolton have parted company with manager Sammy Lee by mutual consent.
Lee was promoted from assistant manager in April after the exit of former boss Sam Allardyce.

But he has had a difficult start to the current campaign as Bolton lie second from bottom of the Premier League with just one league win to their credit.

"This has been a difficult decision for all parties but we have agreed the time is right," Bolton chairman Phil Gartside told the club's website.

Frank McParland was general manager at Bolton and he has also left the club.

Gartside added: "Sammy has played an important role in the club's recent history. We wish Sammy and Frank well for the future.

"Our efforts will now be to look for a replacement manager to concentrate on the future."

More to follow.

It's a shame. I liked Sammy as a footballer, and as a coach he's great. But he hasn't had the experience as a manager.

Bolton fail in approach for Bruce

Birmingham City have rejected an approach from Bolton for their manager Steve Bruce, BBC Sport understands.

But Bruce is waiting for reassurances about his own future at St Andrews from prospective owner Carson Yeung before committing himself to the Blues

You could do worse...Souness transformed Rangers, o.k he did the dirty on the Gers but he did a good job whilst there. He didnt do so well at Liverpool but thats because he cleared out too many players too quickly, same thing with Newcastle, its his way or the highway, but I reckon he could do well for Bolton.
