Re: Bolton
This is spot on. Fell apart very quickly.Unknown_Genius said:Something seems to have snapped for him, ever since THAT FA Cup semi. They were pushing for a European place, playing good football, and Coyle was being talked about as a potential future United/Liverpool manager. Then they were absolutely drubbed, and Coyle's reputation has just nosedived since.

Re: Bolton
Lets have a bit of reason. Like the rest of the teams in Greater Manchester they cannot compete with us or the scum.
At the same time I respect fans of Bolton, Rochdale the like as I hopefully growing up in a BL, OL postcode would have supported a local club. But i grew up in M8.
Coyle did a good job at Burnley but that was about his capacity.

Re: Bolton
Seems bloody odd when you read that but to my memory its spot on. Remember the first time we played Bolton that season, they were playing some great football, real flavour of the month, massive press fornication.. We only beat them 1-0 IIRC but we played them off the park. Out passed them all game long. Unsurprisingly we didn't get the credit for taking apart the new Barcelona of the league.

Re: Bolton
I don't think Bolton's relegation is all down to Coyle, they should have stayed up for the incompetent Chris Foy. A big part of why they ended up going down was that Coyle changed the philosophy from the big and combative longball merchants that they were to more of a passing side; they still got it up to Davies to battle just they were n't so one dimensional and direct as before. The change of style initially worked however players like Johan Elmander and Gary Cahill were n't replaced adequately if at all and the latter was poor in the months prior to his departure and players like Holden and Chung-Yong Lee were out for long periods with injury and if Bolton got their money out it was only to sign championship players or MLS imports.
The club that Owen Coyle took over was ripe for relegation, the mismanagement and debts lingering smell in the room, OC came in spayed some air freshener cleaned up the place and began re-decorating the place but it was all in vain the smell would n't go away forever the debts and the cost cutting dragged them down just as it did at City and countless other clubs.
Owen coyle's vision may have worked under more productive circumstances however ultimately it was the wrong club for him, although at the time he was the right manager for Bolton as when jumped ship from Burnley there was only 2 relegation places to fill. Bolton did well to appoint him at the time they got another 2 years in the premier league and had they gone down in 2010 they probably would have ended up in a much poorer state, it was a somewhat cynical act to employ him just as it was of Aston Villa to appoint Lambert from Norwich, displacing their struggles on other clubs.
