NZtrotter Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 we are more like 1.07 demensional this season, cause we played some good football in the spurs match.
Dan.m Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 With this talk about Megson with a rolling contract, and Coyle putting in a clause after the Celtic talk it makes me wonder if this has been in motion or at least planned for quite a while.
Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 i love this perception of that we are one dimensional. have you actually been to any games this season??? i guarentee any new manager will not change the way we play games, yet many people will think "we are playing more attacking" for reason which are beyond me. the only thing megson was 'guilty of' was not knowing what to do to keep hold of a lead, his theory was to defend it, another managers may be different. Megson was shiite before he came, whilst he was here and will be shiite in the future if anyone is daft enough to give him a job....! oh and guilty of unspeakable crimes against football.
passmosster Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I just hope that if we can get Coyle in place, we can convert to a more ambitious, semi-attractive style of play rather than the the hoof-to-davies-hope-for-the-best approach that was constant under Megson and the later years of allardyce. You mean the sort of style that gets you one point from 9 away games this season?
wiggy Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 We played some really attractive football under Sammy Lee......
Take Hunt Off Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Don't really like to pour cold water on this but I'm not sure Coyle is the right man right now , would prefer he came at the end of the season when he had a chance to mould the team in his image , its going to be difficult(and dangerous) for an attack minded manager like Coyle to utilise the players we have .Dont think Muamba will get many games .If he could bring three or four players in during the window it could work , but thats a tall order. Having said all that I cant come up with an alterative ,maybe with the exception of Curbishley who has relegation dogfight experience. I am a big fan of Coyle but the timing of all this is a bit scary, we live in interesting times

Guest Blixa Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Coyle's done a good job turning a rag tag bunch into a decent team - they were nailed on for relegation from day one and so far, are in the mix to survive and doing better than some (like us, for example). We've got a better team/squad (not sure how many Burnley players would make our first eleven), so on paper, Coyle should make a better fist on it. But as every football pundit on the box says, footie's not played on paper. He is a risk, but so was keeping Megson and so is someone like Curbishley who has been out of the game for a while. Curbishley, remember, took over at West Ham and almost took them down, losing a succession of matches when he came in. Only survived because of Tevez in the end. No one can guarantee success. You have to go for the best option, which I personally think is Coyle in the long term.
Take Hunt Off Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 coyles current centre midfield consists of a right back and a centre back. Thats reassuring however he does have Elliot Eagles & Thompson all of whom would be very welcome at the reebok I'm a cherry pickin bastard I know.
HomerJay Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Thats reassuring however he does have Elliot Eagles & Thompson all of whom would be very welcome at the reebok I'm a cherry pickin bastard I know. i dont rate eagles at all, and he looks like a twat. ive been impressed with wade elliot though.
YATESY Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I wouldn't be suprised to see cahill being sold to pay for it Being ?64M in debt, something has to give here. If we are to pay Burnley the reported ?3.6M, will that be the January transfer budget spent?
Guest Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Being ?64M in debt, something has to give here. If we are to pay Burnley the reported ?3.6M, will that be the January transfer budget spent? Eddie's digging deep; mind, he probably has a plan to exit at some stage.
Ani Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 if coyle takes the job he will do so with guarantees about transfer budget and a full understanding of wether he will have to sell players. if it was a case of having to sell cahill and then having no budget why would he take the job?
eaststandlower Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Can i just applaud PG here because the guy has played a blinder with the sounds of it, He obviously knew some time ago that Megson was going but he's waited till just before the start of the transfer window to get rid knowing that by the time a new manager comes in there's going to be very little time left for them to make the relevant steps to signing any new players hence saving the club money.
Horwich Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Megson payoff + Coyle compo + outstanding debt = ?70m+ outstanding BWFC debt. Shocking for a club our size. Lets hope Coyle can continue to work with small budgets.

Stupid boy!
HoldensHairdo Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 To Be honest, this is the first window where I dont feel we need to spend big Coyle as Manager, Keep hold of Cahill and Sign Klasnic and I will be happy. We have a good squad who just need a bit of unity and fire in their bellies... no doubts in my mind that we can stay up with the current squad.

bwfcol Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 For me, a basic we need is someone to organise the team, especially defensively. I think we have the personnel to be more solid than we are now, the team is disorganised and lacks concentration (Burnley goal on BD was a prime example). Considering Megson was a negative manager there is some irony in his lack of ability in organising a defence although some blame has to fall on the coaching staff also
HomerJay Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 can you imagine the reaction now if coyle isnt our next manager. if i was gartside i'd be very scared of appointing anyone else. if he doesnt get his man, he MUST come out and give reasons why, even if those reasons are complete bollocks.
Guest Blixa Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Coyle's had a change of heart, money, not the right man after discussions, Curbishley came good in interviews - loads of reasons why he wouldn't get it.

Our inability to hold onto leads is the maion reason he is sat at home watching jeremy kyle today. i 100% agree that we need an organiser and dare i say captain to take the lead on the pitch
MickyD Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Allardyce hadn't broken any manegiral records prior to his Bolton appointment. The one thing both he and Coyle have is a love of the club that made them household names, at least in the households belonging to the supporters! Once he gets the supporters to back him and the club and gets the staff to interact with the supporters, the rest will look after itself.
HomerJay Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Coyle's had a change of heart, money, not the right man after discussions, Curbishley came good in interviews - loads of reasons why he wouldn't get it. do you think the masses would see that way?
