Bolton ponder Reid, Phillips dream team

Everton legend Peter Reid is seeking talks with Bolton Wanderers over the manager's job.

The Daily Mail says it is thought Bolton are looking for someone with a connection to the club and their former midfielder Reid is keen on a role.

The 58-year-old is currently preparing Mumbai City for the start of the Indian Super League season but would be willing to talk about a return to Wanderers, for whom he played more than 200 times between 1974 and 1982.

It is thought he would favour a role using his experience to oversee a young, up-and-coming coach, such as current Bolton academy director Jimmy Phillips.
