Allardyce slams 'sad' Gartside

30 January 2007
Allardyce will take his new club Newcastle back to face his former employers, now managed by Sammy Lee, on the opening day of the season on August 11.
Allardyce told The Sun: "Gartside reckoned I wouldn't have got the Bolton job if I was applying for it now. He also claimed Sammy did more of the coaching than me and was basically the better man. Gartside just sounded sad and bitter. If I'd ever had any doubts about leaving Bolton, that justified to me that I was right to go."
He added: "I began to wonder whether I'd done anything at Bolton. Did we dream Bolton came from nowhere to become a top Premier League team and qualify for Europe? Was it an illusion or something?"
