The Managerial Roundabout

[Duck Egg]

When we went on that unbeaten run at the end of his first season he was all "it's no surprise to me. It's down to the extra sessions we did over Xmas".  Rather naively I bought into it and trusted him. He was short on explanations for the dreadful starts in the next 2 seasons though, the football was dire and by the end he looked dreadful and like he wanted to be anywhere but here.  Dougie was an absolute charlatan.

Coyle played a powder-puff striker in central midfield against the league's most physical side in a Wembley FA Cup semi-final.

That level of incompetence is hard to beat.

... & him getting to 2-0 up then substituting the players who got you there ... & going on to draw 2-2.

Much as he dripped over an ill Muamba he'd largely stopped playing him & Muamba said he planned to leave due to it.

Then dropping Klasnic coz he didn't like his 'single-millionare in Manchester' lifestyle.

Megson was the 2-0 to 2-2 all man

Was looking back and wondering why he got ditched from the squad for a bit, still finished the season with 8 goals 

Lad just knew how to get a shot away, really liked him

He lived in some penthouse in Manchester city centre. He was single & basically being a Pound Shop Sasa Curcic. ... & why tf not ?

St. Owen, a man of deep religious principles decided this wasn't the right way to live & sidelined him.

If you ever saw Mrs. Coyle you'd appreciate my view that Ivan had it right.

As long as he wasn't "up to no good" and not bringing the club into disrepute, then his personal life should have been his own. 

One of the most instinctive strikers we've had- as Zico said, he could always get a shot away.

With his organs as they were, it's not as if he could be a massive piss head. (Possibly not the case of course).

I bumped into his “driver” recently.

Lets just leave it as he was a very naughty boy! 😂

Thinking about it I think he used to like a night out and would rope any one in who he could from the rest of the squad

Think he took Holden under his wing who was also single

And muamba who wasn't

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Have a read of Muamba's book.

Good read, and some openness about his personal life.

Rumour around these parts that our head of recruitment Jimmy Dickinson is on his way to you after falling out with Muslic over the laughable state of our squad.

Klasnic seems to have aged quite a bit since he's retired

I think he received a third kidney transplant after leaving us

He did.

Might be wrong but I think there may have been an article about him linked on here.

Aye, would never recognise him, definitely not as sexy and dirty looking as he used to be

I worked at a school in Accrington in my old job and noticed a Klasnic Bolton top hung on a chair in the PE teachers office. I asked the teacher and her mate about it and they said it was gift from after a 'party' at his gaff in Manchester. 

He'd pay for these two lasses to get a cab to Manchester.

She also said Stu Holden was 100% a closet woofter. Which I can probably see tbf.

If true, I would not even raise an eyebrow in surprise. Not that it matters one jot, mind.

I didn't realise Holden had lived in Scotland till he was 10 and (obviously) had a Scottish accent.

And his brother Ewan played for Bury.

Married with 2 kids under 10.

And he part owns Mallorca FC.

I don't think he's gay, he's just an enthusiastic yank
