Coyle sacked

[Wandering Willy]

In Coyles interview on local news tonight he repeated that several players were upset and about 90% were wanting to see him in the office after and 90% gave everything for him. Certainly suggests that he knew he'd lost some of the dressing room.

As for his belief that we were only where we were due to bad luck, and that he would have taken us up this season

In Coyle's case 90% = KD, Mears and Andrews.

Something tells me Sordell and Petrov weren't in the 90%

Chris Eagles could be on his way if Coyle gets another job around this level

Stuff from Nixon. Basically saying Gartside was planning on putting a director of football in to support Coyle, and give Coyle a new long term deal. Eddie Davies intervened after Milwall and said he wanted Coyle gone!

I have a feeling his reign would had been a lot more effective had we done that from the start.

[Prufrock]

Lol at Owen's mate reckoning it was a missed penalty's fault.

Also, guessing he didn't write the 'Coyle: The Bolton Years' thang at the bottom. Apparently he joined on Aug 1 2010, had one mid-table year then went down. Makes him sound even worse!

Anyway, wish him well, glad he's gone.

[SmokinFrazier]

"Tax-exile Davies’ decision was a dramatic change in thinking at Bolton."


I like how Nixon thought "tax exile" should precede Davies' name. The whole tone of article that is bullsh*t.

Chris Eagles...been the only one who turned up at times this season...I'd make him captain when Davo is only playing half our games...

[officer_dibble]

I don't know the veracity of that article but if thats the case then PG is as clueless as Coyle. Thinking of giving him a new long term deal? The mind boggles.

lol @ that mirrornixon is close enough to davies to get that kinda info when he's snipe-ing with "tax exile" snarks.

With Coyle and therefore Nixon, it was always about "the last game" rather than the shoddy form over an extended period. That was always ignored.

Nixon is also assuming that Eagles penalty, if it went in, would have automatically won us the game, and Millwall would not have scored....so effectively as well as changing history on the penalty he also wiped out their equaliser from the record books.

And he says "12th" would have been good? 12th after ten games would have been shite still, and still sackable.

after Stoke i said i hoped he would get rid of the players who shamed us that day .. and he did to a large extent.

Interesting point. The side that day: Jaaskelainen; Steinsson, Cahill, Knight, Robinson; Lee, Muamba (Moreno 73), Elmander, Petrov (M Davies 46); K Davies, Klasnic (Taylor 46). Only four of the 14 are still on the books (along with three of the four unused subs - Bogdan, Alonso, Wheater and Cohen).

As for the mooted restructuring plan, it's interesting but must now be seen with slight suspicion because it's been relayed by Coyle through Nixon. However, it seems a good idea to promote Sammy Lee (an excellent coach) to oversee a coaching structure which has hardly covered itself in glory. Also hiring a director of football above Coyle might be seen as constructive dismissal but there would be something of a hole after moving Lee and let's be honest, it's also hardly as if Coyle's had roaring success with his hiring policy - on and off the pitch. As for that suggested contract extension, Nixon himself phrases it as distantly as "Gartside was even considering...".

You've missed off Petrov, good sir.

Nitpicking, but petrov is still here too (just).

While some of the underperformers that day have gone, have their replacements been any better or worse?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Yep, sorry - 5 remain so 9 out of 14 who appeared at Wembley have gone. Are their replacements better?

Jussi-Bogdan – not yet (but cheaper)
Steinsson-Mears - no (but Steinsson wasn't popular)
Cahill-Mills - no
Robinson-Alonso - now there's a choice (Warnock's not ours)
Muamba-Andrews - no (but not Coyle's fault, although Fab was already sidelined)
Elmander-? - I honestly don't know who to compare him with. As a midfielder, anyone is better...
Klasnic-Sordell - not yet, if ever. We might see if he ever gets a run...

So - although there were mitigating circumstances (age and expense for a few, ambition for Cahill, life-threatening illness for Muamba) you have to say no.

[quote="Dave Sutton's barnet"]Yep, sorry - 5 remain so 9 out of 14 who appeared at Wembley have gone. Are their replacements better?

Jussi-Bogdan – yes
Steinsson-Mears - no way
Cahill-Mills - no
Robinson-Alonso - yes alonso no warnock
Muamba-Andrews - no but not coyles fault
Elmander-? - I honestly don't know who to compare him with. As a midfielder, anyone is better...
Klasnic-Sordell - no never will be

that is my opinion so i think that coyle has not really found suitable replacemants in this dep

[89bwfc89]

Yes Alonso, no Warnock...really?? Other way round for me. I think Warnock's looking like a good signing, certainly not afraid to put a tackle in!

[50sQuiff]

This claim that he would've taken us up. It should put to bed any doubts that Coyle is both delusional and a cockend.

[bobo the clown]

I note that, thankfully, he took Steve Davies with him. Bloody good.

If any 'defence coach' ever robbed a living it was him.
