Oh ok sorry. No idea who the Dyche fella is, what makes you want him?

my mate is at the player of year do.gartside effectively said coyles job is safe. there is an argument for keeping coyle as results against the other 6 teams in the bottom 7 have been good so bodes well as we are playing those type of teams next season.makes sense to let him get us promoted then sack him!

owen coyle

nuns, my friend, I don't begrudge you that view in any way, I think you're entitled to want Coyle out, we are all on the floor right now. I just don't happen to agree for purely footballing reasons. Blackpool stuck with Ian Holloway and they are 90 minutes away from an instant return. It doesn't automatically follow that relegation = sack the manager, but you have a strong argument bud.

have you forgot half the team is out of contract so what players half might not stay then what back to plan A

I wouldn't be miffed if Coyle stays, i'd give him my full backing till Jan and if we're nowhere near at least the playoffs then I think we would have to get rid.

Frosty - Sean Dyche is manager of Watford. He is pretty inexperienced, but he has done well with them and I like his attitude, he's also developed some good young players there. My first choice would be Lee Clark if Coyle goes, but I do think in that case our best chance will be to roll the dice with a younger manager used to working on no budget.

Blackpool where expected to be relegated and didn't really invest...

Holloway certainly never spent £7m on strikers and got the return of Ngog and Sordell..

Not the right example to be honest..

The players out of contract are mostly not Coyls signings, right?

Whatever happens, this summer will be...interesting regarding transfers in and out. I just hope we can keep Mavies, Holden and CYL.

Hi Benny and Large Hat
Bloody warm here fellas.He has to go lads in my heart,and I accept your example LH I really do.But I really fear for us now,going down is dirty and horrible 9 thousand against teams like Charlton etc is soul destroying,I accept HH and the likes have not seen this,but for the internet brigade like Moses it will change their bloomin lives

What are you on about?

Just wiki'd him and he sounds promising, didn't Lee Clark not do so well at Huddersfield? I mean for the money he spent there (£1 mil on our Dan for instance).

TheReebokRowbot

i am with you on that but the players coyle has brought in are carp bar holden

You know, nuns. You may have been there and done it, but that doesn't mean that us younger folk don't know what we're talking about.

Just give us a bit of respect.

Owen Coyle. Imagine if Sc*m utd had Rooney and Valencia out all season, Chelsea Drogba and Mata, Arsenal RVP Man City Kompany and Aguero, Spurs Bale and Modric...Fulham Dempsey. If these guys have injuries they would struggle too. We were just unlucky our 2 best players were out all season.

Ole gunnar Solskjaer is a good shout though.

Firstof how does one go about finding such a man? Wouldn't you have thought that about Coyle?

I certainly DID think that about Owen Coyle ...and so did the Bolton Board, and virtually every Bolton fan lapped it up too. Unfortunately ..we were all (spectacularly) wrong, and instead of fulfilling the potential he had, Owen has failed miserably ..with BWFC paying the ultimate price (and a hefty one too). We just have to do what Swansea, Norwich, Reading and Southampton did .... start with a clean slate, and a new face in charge ...they were brave enough to do it, and are now reapin' the benefits .... There's no such thing as an ' irreplaceable manager ' ...if there was, it would be a ' dead man's shoes ' profession!

They would have replaced the losses had they had 2 transfer windows in which to do so, that's the difference

I've gotta say, I am still a bit undecided about Eagles. He looks good some games and totally disinterested in others.

Watching the game on Sky now. Sordell just come on and does something quickly, without thinking. Amazing!

Why isn't it a right example? He took them down and he might well take them straight back up.

Your points about the merits of Coyle this season don't have anything to do with whether Holloway is an example of a manager achieving this feat, surely? I'm not picking a fight, I'm just saying, sacking the manager isn't necessarily a positive step towards bouncing back at the first attempt. Surely anything the club does has to be geared towards that rather than punishing people. It's all about next season now.

Yeah I thought that about Coyle too, but still, are you ok with us rinning the risk of getting another if not worse version of OC?

If you talk rubbish you dont earn it pal.We have been managed by a set of clowns,he should have gone in October.My club this pal and I am hurting,this is going to strangle us for the next ten years,mark my words.

TheReebokRowbot

i think MS if he had be given game time would have hit a few goals but i work it out around 60min of football since jan for the las

Knowitall

If what you say is correct, why did Coyle reject the offer of more cash for transfers in the jan window...? If the injuries where gonna be such an issue to Coyle, why not sort it in Jan...? He bragged to the Bolton News he would recruit his way..

Well, now is appraisal time...

I dunno if I want to watch MOTD.
