Earlier today, Bolton announced that Kevin Davies will not spend a tenth successive season with Bolton Wanderers. Dougie Freedman said that Davies "is and always will be a Wanderers legend" and as legends usually go, they tend to fade. There is no question that Super Kevin Davies doesn't have the legs that he once did, even though he's shown flashes of his old self on a number of occasions in recent seasons.
The news has been difficult for many Bolton fans to take. Kevin Davies has just made a scheduled appearance on talkSPORT's drivetime program, explaining the situation:
"I'm not going to be an offer of a contract next year. I'm a bit shocked to be honest with you. I was a bit shocked at the time and it's not quite sunk in yet.
"I've had a couple of sit-downs and I think I've been here for so long. I've been here so long and you want to get a feel for what's happening next season.
"It's suprising, to be honest because I've been here for so long.
"I thought I'd be at this club until I retired and start coaching and doing that afterwards."
Kevin was also asked about the possibility of leaving Bolton Wanderers in the current loan window:
"There is the possibility of going out on loan in the next few days and if that doesn't happen, I'll wait until the summer.
"Over the years, I've had clubs come in and I've always turned them away because I've been happy with the club.
"I can keep holding my head up high with what I've done for Bolton.
"Nothing lasts forever.
"I have to keep my head up for the rest of the season. I think it's going to be hard for me to be involved.
"I've made 38 appearances and still doing things that the younger boys are doing in training and I can still do it at this level. I've had a few clubs inquiring and trying to get a hold of me.
"It hurts right now but hopefully by the end of the season, I'll have a new challenge ahead of me."
