My personal take on this is that for as long as martinez was manager, we’ve seen us win 16 times at home over four years. Now, forgive me, whilst playing in the Prem is fantastic getting mullered every week doesn’t work for me.
I’m looking forward to winning more than we lose in the Championship and enjoying the buzz of winning regularly again.
As Coyle put it: Coyle 7 Martinez 1. Nuff said.
Let’s get behind our new manager and hope we enjoy a really successful season.

As Coyle put it: Coyle 7 Martinez 1. Nuff said.Coyle was a little naughty in his first interview! In Premier League games, Coyle and Martinez actually come out even.
Played 7, Coyle won 2, drawn 3, Martinez won 2
There were two more FA Cup games; the first was drawn, Coyle won the replay.
And Coyle struggled just as much as Martinez in the Premier League.
Coyle 2011/12 18 Bolton Wanderers (R) 38 10 6 22 46 77 −31 36
Martinez 2012/13 18 Wigan Athletic (R) 38 9 9 20 47 73 –26 36It’s Coyle, let’s get over it. There’s no need to bring Martinez into it, but if you must, then get your facts right!
I certainly hope to see more home wins this season, but that is because we – like Bolton – are now in the Championship, not because we have a new manager.

I hope some fans don’t think this championship lark is a stroll in the park and somehow we will have it wrapped by January some hard games ahead in this league
Aye but with parachute payments and the money in assets in our squad you would hope we would be in the top 8 surely. Who else can boast of a potential income of 40 million if we sell Mcarthy and Kone in the Championship?

At least Owen Coyle has the balls to have a go and try to get us back up into the PL, unlike Mr Martinez who upped sticks and abandoned us after messing up big style.
Owen Coyle needs, and will hopefully get all of our backing, and lets face it, it can’t be much worse than what we have witnessed for the last 4 years.
If the above statement by Unsworth is true, 16 home wins in four years is a bit poor to say the least.Aye but with parachute payments and the money in assets in our squad you would hope we would be in the top 8 surely. Who else can boast of a potential income of 40 million if we sell Mcarthy and Kone in the Championship?One word – Wolverhampton Wanderers

I don’t think anyone is biting griff ! ;)
[At least Owen Coyle has the balls to have a go and try to get us back up into the PL, unlike Mr Martinez who upped sticks and abandoned us after messing up big style.Can’t you welcome Coyle without making false comparisons with Martinez?
If I remember rightly, Coyle took Burnley into the Premier League, but abandoned them when the battle for survival started to look a little tricky.
I’m not sure that it’s just a question of balls that persuaded Coyle to try to get us back into the PL. A handsome salary from DW plus a £1 million bonus for promotion may have had some influence on the out-of-work manager.
I’m hoping that Coyle can continue the long-term plans that Martinez began.
I’m looking forward to winning more than we lose in the Championship and enjoying the buzz of winning regularly again.The logic of this makes no sense. You want to see Wigan win regularly yes? But that would (hopefully) lead to promotion and then getting mullered every week. If it doesn’t lead to promotion then I imagine we lose in the play offs/get knocked out in the play offs every season?
There isn’t a single team in the Championship that is happy just staying there, all 24 teams have long term ambitions to get promotion. We can’t just be satisfied with ‘winning more than we lose’, we must try and get promotion whilst the whole club still has the Premier League mentality and believes the Prem is where we belong. The longer we go without promotion, the more we’ll accept that we are a Championship club (like Ipswich, Leeds, Middlesbrough etc have).

Bang on there pal.
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!I’m looking forward to winning more than we lose in the Championship and enjoying the buzz of winning regularly again.

Spot on, And on the flip side, Getting relegated from that league and ending up in league 1 can finish a club. Getting relegated from the Premier League isn’t great but gives the club free income for 3 seasons. Going down from the Championship can kill a club and has soooo much more importance.

You should have gone to some of the away games as we won some of those as well, including a couple at Wembley.
Reality check needed – there will be NO promotion this season
DW has already stated that if we are to get back to the EPL it will take 2, 3 or 4 seasons
Couple the massive turn around in playing staff, the recruiting and jelling of new staff with the playing of 3 games a week almost every week = consolidation at best
