Hull City must pay Bolton Wanderers fee for Gary Megson

According to reports Hull City will have to pay Bolton Wanderers a fee if they want to secure the services of former Reebok chief Gary Megson.

The Daily Mail claims Megson is the frontrunner in the race to succeed the sacked Phil Brown.

However, the £1 million transfer fee to be paid to Bolton, who are still paying his wages, is putting off The Tigers.

Iain Dowie, Paul Jewell and Doncaster's highly rated manager Sean O'Driscoll were other contenders, although Alan Curbishley has been ruled out.

Tigers chairman Adam Pearson wants the new man in place for Saturday's must-win bottom-of-table battle at Portsmouth.
