anewman Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Does that mean we don't have to give him a pay off? Have the backroom staff stepped down as well? and his knock off allegedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Great people person, dealt with immense pressure in the Muamba case, but unfortunately it didn't work out. This is the right action for the good of the club. I wish him all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 i didnt know that? Is this the same boardroom that got us into Europe twice ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grego Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Makes me wonder if actually Sammy Lee has had too much say already, and hence where we are now. Remember his tippy tappy football pre Megson. Hope he's not staying in charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I honestly do feel for him. Lovely fella...just not a very good manager. His reign couldnt possibly of gone any worse,for it being injuries,bad managment the lot. Good luck Owen...wherever you end up,you just wernt the man for this job. All the best I say. that sums up my thoughts, feel very different to when meggo went even though both decisions are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Wanderer Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Good luck to the man and we wish him well but he has ruined this club with his lack of ability which eventually he was found wanting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frandsen08 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 he had to go but i do wish him all the best, i think this will be a learning curve for him. All the very best OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldensHairdo Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 He was asked yesterday to bring Sammy Lee in alongside him, he refused as it undermines him so the only other option was this. Right decision, but do feel sorry for the man himself. Good Luck OC - get yourself to Blackburn then the Clarets will be seething!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek smalls Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Definitely feel gutted for him. i know the majority wanted him out and you might be right but even though we were losing I thought he was at least trying to play the right way. The games were entertaining, better than the boring shite we`ve watched in recent history. Be careful what you wish for people. It`s a sad day really regardless of your opinion. Taken from the oatcake forum... So they swapped Gray Megson because the football was dour. They employed Owen Coyle who stylishly achieved relegation within two years. Now they are going to get Mick McCarthy in who is perhaps more in the mould of Megson than Coyle ...I'm not surprised they're called the Wanderers, they have no idea which direction they want to go in.

Nowt entertaining about getting beat in this division imo. It's a shame Owen wasn't up to the job here,hope he does ok somewhere else.

Moderators Zico Posted October 9, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2012 this made me chuckle and shows how single minded and stubborn coyle was: http://www.zonalmarking.net/2011/05/24/bolton-owen-coyle-style-of-football/ they ask "Have Bolton played ‘attractive football’ under Owen Coyle this season?" then wheel out stats to suggest not to which he replies in an interview: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyoneawalker Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Sadness yes on a human level for a decent bloke who must be hurting badly now - sympathy absolutely zero he has more than enough opportunity to show what he could do at a higher level and during testing times and he failed very miserably. I don't particularly wish him well either because he could well end up at a club we're in opposition with and any future success may be to the detriment of our own club by perhaps highlighting we were wrong to get rid - he's history now that's all, he's not dead he just did his job on the whole very poorly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bwfcdan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Gutted it didnt work for Owen, but it needed to be done. Onwards an upwards now. Jimmy Phillips and Sammy Lee, Jimmy!........ And Sammy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passmosster Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Based on the bookies lists I think I'm firmly in the hope Jimmy Phillips gets it camp Which other candidate has 9 "O" levels? Jimmy's nobody's fool and was an excellent reserve team manager. A bit of a jump up I know, but I would like to see him given a chance.
