If Coyle gets the sack

Went down with Hull went to preston and went down with them I think. Decent enough pundit on 5 live

Preston were practically dead when he went to them.

As said, Wilkins hasn't been a manager in years and has previously stated he doesn't fancy managing outside the top tier as he never played at that level and doesn't think he'd understand players of that ilk (Good job Jose Mourinho never felt the same)

Right now though I'd snatch your arm off for Phil Brown

Why? I like the fella and yes I know he got Hull up but has he done anything since he sat in the centre circle and made a fool of himself?

He was unlucky not to get the job when he did a grand job as caretaker. Good job at Hull overall and unfairly dismissed by Ridsdale at PNE. Agree re: the centre circle incident but I still think theres a decent manager there. He'd at least keep us up!

Why? cos he's not coyle

Maybe,he's had a patchy career so far. Very hard to judge if you're not directly following the clubs he's been with. Him not being coyle is as dibble says a plus.

[Harry Genshaw]

Why? cos he's not coyle

Well thats a start.

We're not going to attract anyone already managing in the Championship (Holloway, Jackett, Poyet) so someone on the dole is more likely - I'd prefer Billy Davies but I'd take Brown anyday.

It's all irrelevant mind. If Coyle ever does go we're going to end up with whoever else shares an agent with Gartside.

He didn't take Hull down he left with about 9 games left then Dowie finished Hull off.

Brown could do a better job than Coyle, well anybody could really.

Bolton 0-3 West Ham, and Burnden's patience with McFarland (and Todd) snapped. Booing ensued, and Redknapp saw fit to chime in against it – and, pointedly, us: no "I don't see the point in booing" but an attack on our fans, as if West Ham's were angels.

Was that the last time they beat us

No, they beat us at Upton Park late on that season to all but condemn us to relegation. I can still remember the hollow feeling when our last-minute goalmouth scramble was cleared away in front of us.

Gus Poyet still seems to be doing a decent job....

Very true but why would he switch to us.He's southern based and highly regarded where he is.I suspect he will take Brigton as far as he can and is only likely to move upwards not sideways or more accurately diagonal.

I think you have to look at the doleys, lower leagues or abroad

The article is from Jan 2012 and he's moaning about wage structures so how would that suggest he would come to bolton?
Actually the photo of coyle after the brum game(Daily Mail) made me sad. He knows it's gone wrong.It would be better for everyone if they moved on now. There's no need for unnecessary suffering.

Correct, it did look like it's finally dawned on him that it's gone.

He's also back to saying "if someone decides that the game us up that's their right & I will deal with it" stuff.

Just go Owen, while you still have a tad of dignity & we have a faint chance of turning it round.

The fans don't believe in you, the players don't & it even looks like you don't.

Go, for God's sake. Go.

I really didn't want it to end like this

I'd still have Coyle over Brown

Wonder if Neil McDonald and Sammy Lee could work together

Because our wage budget will be (I'd guess) around about double what he's working with at Brighton. That and he'd have a squad that has just been relegated from the Premier League, plus continued parachute payments. Our fourth choice striker would be Brighton's most expensive ever signing.

I don't know for sure if he'd take it, but I see no reason why he wouldn't seriously consider it. We are a richer, more recently successful club with a better chance of short-term success.

Not sure he would come to us, although I still think he'd have a higher overall wage budget and probably a higher transfer budget, whilst we have some parachute.

That aside, they seem to be filling the stadium and have been progressing upwards since Poyet arrived...so I suspect he might be thinking first lower half Prem team, he'd be in with a shout...

Strange though isnt it. Very different to Negson. Coyle is a likeable honest fella who is way out of his depth. I know we take the piss but it's hard to dislike coyle and no pleasure to see him looking grey.The only thing he ever really had was his optimism and thats now been sucked out of him. It would be a kindness to call his number in now. Maybe he can reappear somewhere as a coach with youngsters or even at a higher level. I just dont think he has the nouse to be a manager.

But we are going backwards and are up north. Could be wrong but I suspect like worthy says he'll be happy continuing to develop his reputation before moving on to a job in the prem. Ultimately spurs and chelsea are the kind of places he will be looking at. I'm not sure coming to bolton would feel like a step in that direction
