I thought it was telling that Whelan saw fit to defend Coyle’s time at Bolton, so even he didn’t think he did a particularly good job there, whatever the mitigating circumstances might have been.
However, it is in the past, and he will certainly be given a chance by me. As for those who “expect” him to have a better record than Martinez, well I would frigging hope so – if you haven’t noticed (some probably haven’t) we’re one division lower now.
Owen has had his good spells too!
2005/06 and 2006/07 He had two good seasons at St Johnstone, and saw them promoted to the SPL.
2007/08 and 2008/09 In two seasons, he took an unlikely Burnley squad into the Premier League.
2009/10 He left a struggling Burnley but saved a struggling Bolton.
2010/11 and 2011/12 A good season including an FA Cup semi-final was followed by a difficult season and relegation.
2012/13 Bolton made an indifferent start in the Championship.I think his background qualifies Coyle to manage Wigan. He is familiar with the problems he will face. I hope he can overcome them.
I don’t think his tactics will be as sophisticated as Roberto’s, but the situation should not be as demanding. I expect a return to a conventional back four – and probably a 4-4-2 formation with at least one wide player/winger.
But his dealings in the transfer market will probably determine his success this season. He is certainly going to be very busy!
Time to stop raking the past up. We are in the championship now with Owen Coyle. Let’s get behind the man and see what happens.I for one am getting a season ticket again next season and can’t wait for all the away days.
Like i said trying put a posative spin on coyle taking over,he isnt my 1st choice and there is a lot of negativity, so the 9-1 tonking we got of spurs and the spanking we go of chelski and any other you can think of,made us a laughing stock, SO can you recall any tonking of that extent that any teams coyle as managed
So, despite what you said, you are comparing Coyle with Martinez after all! These comparisons are ridiculous.
Anyway, it’s not the size of the defeats that matters, it’s the number of them. But, since you keep on about it, Coyle’s teams have shipped plenty of goals in recent seasons.
You’ll remember that Coyle left a sinking ship at Burnley, that Bolton were relegated under him, and that he was sacked the next season because of poor results in the Championship.
2009/10 Burnley lost 5-0 at Tottenham and 5-3 at West Ham. Coyle abandoned Burnley before the big home defeat, 6-1 to Manchester City, but I’d say it was still his team.
2009/10 Bolton lost 4-0 at home to Manchester United.
2010/11 Bolton lost 4-0 at home to Chelsea.
2010/11 FA Cup semifinal Bolton lost 5-0 to Stoke.
2011/12 Bolton lost 5-0 at home to Manchester United and 5-1 at home to Manchester City.[/quote]
You are really giving me headache now,i have never mentioned martinez,now perhaps its just me but you are missing my point completly.
Lot of negativity towards coyle.
not my 1st choice.
You yourself seem to have a problem with his appointment because you keep pumping all these past score lines out.
Dont see any 9-1 score lines there.
My point IT CANT GET ANY WORSE
GIVE THE BLOKE A CHANCE
Oh and by the way looking at the stats you keep coming up with it is you who is comparing the 2,i only mention 1 score line ;)My point IT CANT GET ANY WORSEIt could get a lot worse! Look what happened to Wolves last season – they got a new manager and will be kicking off in League One next season.
I agree that Coyle should do much better in the Championship than Martinez did in the Premier League. But I doubt that he will win the FA Cup for us.
“so the 9-1 tonking we got of spurs and the spanking we go of chelski and any other you can think of,made us a laughing stock, SO can you recall any tonking of that extent that any teams coyle as managed”
Despite what you say, this clearly is a comparison between Martinez’ management and Coyle’s. Roberto has gone! Let’s move on!
