BOLTON Wanderers manager Dougie Freedman is expected to meet with club officials today to discuss his future, according to reports.
Freedman will meet with chairman Phil Gartside in the wake of Wednesday's humiliating 4-0 defeat at Fulham, with his prospects of remaining as manager appearing increasingly bleak.
Bolton, who were beaten 2-0 by Derby County last Saturday, have won only once this season and the thrashing at Craven Cottage leaves them second bottom, with Gartside, who has so far resisted pressure to change, now considering whether Freedman's position is untenable.
Freedman insisted after last night's defeat he is determined to carry on.
The former Crystal Palace manager is known to have been frustrated at missing out on a number of transfer targets over the summer, including Liverpool's Jordon Ibe and Middlesbrough Lukas Jutkiewicz, who signed for Derby County and Burnley respectively.
Gartside has stayed loyal to Freedman but a run of three successive league defeats have increased the pressure.
This is Bolton's third consecutive season outside the Premier League and relegation to League One would be disastrous for a club which announced debts of nearly £164million in December 2013.
IAN Holloway will wheel and deal in the loan market to get Millwall's season back on track after a winless September.
His side visit the iPro Stadium on Saturday but Holloway admits that players may have to leave The Den before he can add further to his squad.
It's understood that Jermaine Easter, who has not been selected for Millwall's last two games, is available for loan and is a target for several clubs in League One, including MK Dons.
But Magaye Gueye, who was left out of Tuesday's match against Birmingham, will not be leaving, although the attacker has been told to improve his fitness.
Millwall want to sign a winger and a right back.
Chris Eagles had been on trial with the club last week but did not turn up for training on Monday and is believed to have significant wage expectations.
Holloway said: "There will be people who I loan out from my group now. I will do that to try and clear some money which I can use to strengthen certain areas in the squad that we're really short in.
"I will do that if I can and that's all I can do. If I can't get them out, then I'll have to keep going with the current squad and put some of the young ones in and see how we go.
"I'm sure that if I see anybody who I think will help us then the chairman will support me. He's a wonderful fella and he'll be smarting after watching the Birmingham game."
