Could be though, that would be terrible management.

Surely you'd dangle the carrot at the very least....

I don't think its got anything to do with the management.

The decision may not.

But whether to tell him is of course up to Owen Coyle...

And if you think that football matters aren't run by Coyle then you're living in an alternative reality.

One of Owens objectives is to reduce the age of the playing squad, but if he said I want to keep Davies here, there is no way on gods green earth that Gartside wouldn't try to do that for him....as long as Owen had the plan to meet his objectives...that's how it works.

The raft of out of contract players on higher salaries is not a football decision, no matter how many ways you want to blame Coyle, contract negotiations will not be principally handled by him.

And if you think the Club Captain, stalwart and one of our longest serving players doesn't have an open line to our Chairman, I'd be questioning your own grasp on things, not mine.

Not blaming anyone, just stating the facts....

Coyle keeps who he wants from a footballing point of view, if the finances can be worked through.....

And your opinion is based on what? An Alan Nixon Tweet or something? FFS.

Just went into the lounge in time to see a pic of KD on TV and Owen Coyle being interviewed. Missed what was said. Anybody?

KD was saying that though he has been a long and loyal servant - legend indeed - and nobody should take away his former glories - Tango should be put out to grass.. :wink:

Coyle seems to have inherited Megsons PR advisors surely he does not believe the last bit? :conf:
He added: "You need players with big hearts, that are brave enough to get on the ball, pass and move and who can go into arenas like Old Trafford and perform.

"Kevin is one of those."
