Owen Coyle

[dennis tooth]

They did create a fair few chances to be honest can't agree on that, he brought on Klasnic who might have won it for them but he couldn't beat us at the end of the day and for that reason I'm out. Not quite ready yet but to be fair he's only had half a season at Bolton.

[usernameunknown]

Getting done twice by Roy Hodgson in the same season, that should be enough to rule him out.

[BatChainPuller]

Yeah, but he was a shit poet though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What, just me then?

 

Agreed, but he was an excellent contraceptive.

[18-5]

They're still four points above us. Thats Liverpool who were twatting Real Madrid two years ago, and Bolton who were playing rugby two years ago.

 

Sunderland are 5 points ahead of us. We have to get Steve Bruce. :|

 

What I saw today was that it was very much pass and move football that Roy employs. For a manager like Coyle, whose team are unlikely to win something, we have to look at the way he sets up the team and the general style of play. They are alright at home but away from home they haven't shown anything that suggests that they are a bit special. It is very similar to what we have now.

 

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

[myrlas]

He's touted strongly around again I see.

 

On the basis of what exactly?

[Carra_is_legend]

And what exactly he has done to warrant a link with Liverpool job?

 

Nothing thats what.

[myrlas]

He gets Bolton to play like Barcelona, you know...

[RedRoadEnd]

Even the mention of the word horrifies me. In 2010 he was BURNLEY manager.

 

Why the hell would gifted stars like Pepe and Nando ( and even Stevie Ego) not want to join Xabi and Masch in leaving if this UTTER NONENTITY become manager of 5 times European Champions...?

 

If Coyle is serious about becoming a star manager, then he can become a coach at LFC, then take a job elsewhere, win a few things - like a Spanish title, then come back when Rafa is 68.

 

Nomark as manager = LIverpool FC RIP.

Simple as that..

[TheHitman]

He could win the LMA this year, the present requisite for appointment to the Liverpool job.

[cochcaer]

Roy MKII. Frying pan > Fire.

[InRoyWeTrust]

Coyle wouldn't come to us.

 

Bolton are doing better than us and only a fool would disagree.

 

Plus we've got Roy, a better manager.

I am not entirely convinced he has what it takes, but that is certainly an over the top reaction.

[Gym Beglin]

People rumouring to have seen him in the vicinity today.

 

He's certainly one to watch out for in the coming years, but it's such a risky appointment for the here and now.

Yes, he managed Burnley not long ago, but they were gutted when he left them, they really rated him and got them firing again.

You know you've done a great job at a club when you leave for another club and your old fans fucking detest you.

 

But getting Kevin Davies to up his game and getting Fernando Torres to up his game are two very different coaching styles one would suggest.

And it sends out a message, just look at our past managers in recent history...

 

Souness

Evans

Houllier

Benitez

Hodgson

Coyle

 

Reads like a managerial list for Portsmouth or West Ham. Can you imagine Juve's or Bayern's managerial list looking like that? (Rafa aside, love you Rafa)

[Guest TesticleOReilly]

Coyle's got Bolton playing some good stuff, but Megson brought a lot of those players in (before he got binned), so he knew what he was doing and who he was buying. Is Coyle capable of using a decent transfer budget, can he spot a player? We've just had someone who worked wonders with someone else's players, then when he made his own squad took them almost to the top only to see it all fall apart.

We could have had Rafa run a 20 yr dynasty if OUR money was kept for players and stadium, not American scumballs.

 

To be honest if we get another dogturd of a manager( or even anyone other than Rafa), I'll prob knock it on the head.

Maybe I'll do something on the fans takeover groups.I'll still be a Reds supporter. Just trying to support what LFC is about not so American owned brand of shite, that takes us for mugs.

 

Because Nando and the like won't listen to some exBurnley muppet are they?

[Dobbo]

The reason people are talking about Owen Coyle is that he has put his stamp on a team everywhere he has been. Forget the statistical analysis of either Burnley or Bolton (he is working in an extremely restrictive market) and look at what he has done. He took Burnley into the top flight, which is pretty incredible if you look at their resources. Then, he has transformed Bolton's playing style which, again, is impressive. I thought he might struggle to change the playing ethos there but, bit by bit, he has turned them around and given players like Jack Wilshere and now Stuart Holden a platform to play.

The theory that 'he's never managed a big team' would have ruled Bill Shankly out of a job in 1959. But, in my opinion, the guy has vision, energy, enthusiam and a no fear attitute which we desperately need at the moment. I don't think, for example, he would describe the possibility of winning at Old Trafford as a 'real coup'.

[Teigen]

He took Fulham into the European Cup final, which is pretty incredible if you look at their resources.

 

.

[Dobbo]

Don't think I would have posted that my friend. For me, getting to the Europa tin pot cup final wouldn't be a great achievement for any Premier League manager. He enjoyed huge slices of luck during his run in that competition while his domestic results last season were very poor.

[Xherdan]

Under real pressure at Bolton now.

[MLB]

They've had some injury problems to key players so I think they will turn it around, but it is going very badly for them at the moment. Cahill doesn't look like he can be arsed anymore though, and they would definitely have been better off selling him to the highest bidder in the summer.

[goatboy59]

[Xherdan]

Was that after our famous win last season?

[goatboy59]

Thanking him today for taking the heat off.

[Strontium]

They've had a cunt of a start though. United, City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the first 7 games? The fixture computer is not a Bolton Wanderers fan.
