The song is over but the malady lingers on...

For a little light diversion, I thought it might be interesting to find appropriate theme tunes for recent Bolton Wanderers managers.

I nominate this one for Owen Coyle, with its stubborn optimism and refusal to change course in the face of an ever-worsening reality.

Dunno about theme tunes, but there is a film called 'going down in la la land' that would seem appropriate for our mate Coyle!

Sammy Lee .... firstly he does bounce back to us ....

& secondly, he looked, in his suit, like nothing so much as a tennis ball with arms and legs. Like an M&M via Hepworth's.

More of a message to Dougie...
