Hmmm...

Now that Coyle has gone I genuinely believe that we can win this league OR at the very least gain promotion.

Steady on.
I would just settle for feeling like we've got a bit of purpose, direction and unity back again.

I'd be happy with three consecutive passes to a white shirt without anyone knocking it in to touch, falling over or commiting a pointless foul. If we're under pressure - home or away - I want to see two banks of four (or whatever) defending as a unit. Just the vaguest glimmer of something resembling football. That would be a start.

Good Luck Owen Coyle in whatever is next for you...

Imagine the poor sod thumbing a lift up Mansell Way with his ping-pong table under his arm..

I thought we'd drag it out a bit. Sounds like we offered Coyle some help, he said no, we said something like we couldn't afford to sack him, then we came to some kind of agreement. If this is the case and we paid less compensation than we might have paid then it only goes to prove what a nice chap Owen Coyle is. What he said on the BBC after Millwall about having the best interests of the club at heart may well be true.

I hope he does an Ian Holloway, learns some stuff and comes back to do a good job somewhere.

Remedial English is a double lesson on Tuesday's - he won't be out until three-ish.

He was an awful manager whose parting shot was to claim football is only about the players and you're clueless if you think otherwise. Never knowingly made a mistake. Replaced professionalism with cronyism. Created a fractious dressing room. Sidelined players he'd fallen out with, of which there seemed to be many. He benched Muamba for Darren Pratley for goodness sake. A player that can't even get 10 minutes in a struggling Championship side!

A year too late but at least he's finally gone. I used to think he was a nice bloke but I seriously doubt that now. Nevertheless I wish him well.
^This. He's been very well paid and was given a hell of a lot longer than any other manager would have been, given the results of the last 18 months or so. And everything has simply got worse and worse.

And I don't understand the whole gushing about his handling of the Muamba events - he said a few solemn words and looked upset, as would any warm-blooded human being. In fact, once Fabrice was out of danger, some of the platitudes OC delivered seemed a bit disingenuous considering their recent manager-player relationship.

Having said all that, I still wish him the best of luck in his future career. He'll definitely need it.

^^

This ..... & [this]

Don't be silly...if there's one lesson he doesn't attend it's this one!

When he logs on and sees all the activity, he will literally, spontaneously, implode.

Brilliant news this, made my day, a worse manager than megson. Hope we get someone more interesting than mick in although I do love him.

Sad to think that gary speed would have been the perfect candidate

True.
Although he was starting to do decent things with Wales so may not have wanted to give that up.

Is anyone doing a retrospective on Coyle, and if not could i put myself forward to write one?

bedwetter2 · Post by **bedwetter2** » Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:36 pm

You'll have to make do with mine until Dan teleports himself back from whichever planet he is on!

I have only just found out - I had given up when no announcement was made earlier this morning. To anyone who has sympathy for Coyle and his merry men - nuts! The man was proved to be clueless 12 months ago and it was only going in one direction even then. He has conspired, knowingly or not, in the decline of our club. I cannot forgive the relegation, never mind the rest, when he had it in his powers to firm up the midfield and abandon his version of 4-4-2 when he stumbled on a better set-up last season.
All in all, good riddance - and as someone else said, he was a shite player as well.

As to the future, I just hope that a proper selection process takes place in recruiting a successor. No further cronyism.
