Megson was a surprise choice to take over from Sammy Lee having been in charge of Coca-Cola Championship side Leicester only a matter of weeks, but he insists he will get the results which will win over the fans.

He said: "All I can do is get together with the players and get some results to change that (fan reaction)."

He added: "You don't turn up everywhere and get the red carpet laid out for you.

"In terms of the supporters, they are the bedrock of the football club. We need them onside

"I'll give it everything to get things back on track but I have to accept that maybe I am not their number one choice."

Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside brushed aside the indifference of some fans towards Megson's appointment to insist the former West Brom and Norwich boss is the right man for the job.

Gartside said on Sky Sports News: "We are bottom of the league. If you are in the bottom half at any stage it is a tough battle, it is a hard league to play in.

"We've got to accept that and we've got to work hard to get out of it.

"We chose Gary on the basis of his credentials. A lot of people in football understand this appointment and I am happy with that."
