Eurosport - Wed, 01 Jul 21:06:00 2009

Bolton manager Gary Megson has signed Sean Davis on a free transfer - six months after Portsmouth rejected a £3.5million bid for the midfielder.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 Premier League Portsmouth Sean Davis - 0

Megson has beaten a number of clubs for the 29-year-old's services after his contract at Fratton Park expired.

Davis has agreed a three-year deal and Megson said: "We are delighted to have signed such an experienced Premier League footballer.

"Sean made 40 appearances last season for Portsmouth and he will strengthen our midfield.

"We wanted to bring him to the Reebok in January but our bid of £3.5 million was turned down by Portsmouth, who didn't want him to leave."

London-born Davis has made nearly 200 top-flight appearances with Fulham, Tottenham and Portsmouth.

  1. the­ Toon represents­ a winner...MY @#$%

    What the hell­ have you won anything, All you fans of Newcastle are­ the cancer!

    An owner who put his money where his mouth­ was..Ok made some mistakes however his investment in­ (your club) represents a higher percentage of his cash­ than you pay for a season ticket.

    Big Sam... a great­ manager who was shafted by your fans before you gave­ him a chance, the players he brought would have played­ with heart and soal under him and you wouldnt be where­ you are now.

    It would be better for every football fan­ in England if Newcastle was brought knocked down and­ turned into a wast tipp. Then we wouldnt have to read­ the @#$% you guys write.
    You should all be ashamed of­ yourselfs.

    P.S why are you writting on a prem board,­ go and post in the blue square section.

  2. With regards to Freddy Shepherd. Some idiots are­ saying­ "better the devil you know.­" I'm­ not­ having it. The Toon are still trying to­ recover­ from­ the Shepherd era. Ashley was just part of­ the­ disease.­ The infestation began under Shepherd.­­ Shepherd left­ this club, I hate to say it - but here­­ goes, with a­ serious cancer. I said at the beggining­ of­ last season­ that NUFC may need to spend some time­ in­ the­ Championship to recover from the critically­ flawed­­ miss management of Shepherd and Souness. And­ the­ transfer policy of Allardice. Barton and Smith­ etc
    It­ might­ hurt, but the Championship is probably­ the place­ we­ need to be order to cut the rot out of­ the Toon and­ to­ re - invigorate ourselves. We'll­ be back. All­ we­ need is on owner with intellect and­ integrity. The­ club­ is big enough to generate the­ resources needed to­ get­ back into the top strata. You­ look at the­ Wigan's,­ Hull's and Bolton's­ of this­ world. If they had­ our recent history to deal­ with,­ they'd be gone.­ People are interested­ because we­ represent good­ business. With the right­ strategy - the­ Toon represents­ a winner...

  3. Another one goes, thats most of the midfield gone and­ no-one on the horizon coming in. Season starts in 6­ weeks, we have no team, no manager, no owner. We will­ be relegation fodder if things dont improve soon. Play­ up Pompey.

  6. A good buy for Bolton with the other Davies staying it­ seems that Megson is doing good Business. But for some­ reason I still think he lacks drive as a Manager.

    money grabber bolton are no better than Pompey,­ actually worse!

  11. Davis played a big part in keeping Pompey up. Had we­ sold him we would likely be in the Championship now. ­ So £3.5M to stay up was probably a bargain, and sorry­ to see him leave. He will be an asset to BW.

  12. they should have taken the £3.5 million now you got­ nothing madness

    From grey61, on Wed 1 Jul 7:16PM

  13. Come on Yahoo! Why was that comment Invalid? All I­ said was it is madness letting Davis go, especially on­ a free. Who is running the shop down at fratton?

  14. Take him. He will only let you down when you show faith­ in him!!!
