first time caller long time listener...
Re: Coyle's potential appointment. I understand the reluctance after the last new manager we took on, but I am excited at the prospect of OC. He's not even the been offered the job yet and the comments he has made about it being a wonderful job opportunity has given me a big lift, more than Megson ever did.
I can't really comment on his tactical acumen but I think he's got technically a poor bunch of players at Burnley and has managed to get more points on the board than I ever expected. Last season he achieved promotion on top of 2 cup runs, it was superb stuff.
I was watching OC when Burnley got beat against Everton, he came on the pitch, smiling, shaking the opposition players hands... this is a guy in control, confident and positive. His interviews are a breath of fresh air, no sense of panic or desperation. He does lack premiership experience and other names touted have more prem games under their belts, but I think Coyle's a manager on his way up, with his best days in front of him, rather than a last chapter in his autobiography like it would be for Peter Reid.
I think we have to pursue him, he's made for BWFC, most excited I've been for ages, but I don't get out much.
