Having taken a lot of stick for making it a personal issue, Gartside is determined to end his feud for the club's former manager.

The relationship between the two men has been strained since Allardyce left in April and the spat continued on Saturday when he returned to the Reebok Stadium with his new club and they achieved a 3-1 victory.

Allardyce responded angrily to criticism from Gartside in radio interviews before the game.

Gartside now wants to draw a line under their public row.

"I'd like an end to it, because it's not healthy for either of us," he told the Bolton News.
