Hope they go down, mainly because of their chairman, and Burnley survive will be proper funny.

According to a link from that article, Coppell is one of Burnley's top targets to replace Coyle.

By the seaside in West Somerset
have to remember he is an ex Bolton player so makes his decision easier to understand



still would laugh if they went down and Burnley stayed up

Well it is news, cause it has been CONFIRMED.

It's not news at all. Burnley appointed a caretaker manager on Tuesday and stated that Coyle had left the club. Why would they do that if there was a chance that he'd still be there come Saturday?

Yep, Coyle has no respect from me now. Do a good job at Burnley and the offers will come in once the resources have proved to be insufficient. To leave them halfway through the season like this is crazy and very dishonest. Really hope Bolton go down, and if Burnley get Coppell I would give them a better chance of staying up than they would have had under Coyle.

not surprised what with him being ex-bolton, but i think he could be making a slight error in his career planning

the job that sam allardyce did is looking better and better by the day

bolton are NOTHING


i think burnley would be DELIGHTED with just staying up, and are seeing this season as a 'bonus' whereas for some obscure reason, bolton fans seem to expect success

I can see why he went - he spent a lot of his playing career at Bolton & had a good rapport with the fans. Bolton also have a better ground & more resources. For us, it would be like being manager of a club like Walsall and being offered the Albion job. It would be a no-brainer for me

Very surprised. He's done so well last few years that if he kept Burnley up, I am sure many better clubs that Bolton would come after him. Leaving Burnley for Bolton is an absolute nothing move in his managerial career apart from money.

Some mates of mine went to the Bolton v Lincoln cup tie last weekend and reckoned
the players(they played their first team),organisation and support at Bolton was typical
of a mid championship side. Coyle has a job on his hands and I hope the disloyal bastard
ends up with egg on his face

People keep saying this but he was only at Bolton for 2 years and played less than 60 times for them. I really don't understand where this great love for Bolton he seems to have comes from. Stupid move for him in my opinion, particularly having turned down Celtic over the summer.

Just about to type that. He has spent longer at Burnley than he did at Bolton. Money is obviously the reason for his move but at the same time surely he could have got a better job? As you have said he was offered Celtic job.
Seems a strange one to me.
