and mainly PG's recruitment policy

 

 

a recruitment policy that saw coyle and his team get to 6th in the league and the fa cup semi, less than 6 months ago?

 

i'd say thats about as good as we're ever likely to be

 

it certainly seems worlds apart from our current woes

A policy that brought us

 

A disastrous manager that'd have taken us down

 

A manager who a majority of the fans hated who left us in the relegation zone

 

And a Manager that has us currently in the relegation zone

 

So errm yeah

a poor appointment, but one most folk could see the logic in

 

quickly put it right

a manager who kept us in the top league twice and would've done it for a third and bought some good players

 

 

And a Manager that has us currently in the relegation zone

 

a manager who the masses wanted

 

happy clappy, PR mans dream

 

kept us up twice, a cup semi and signed one excellent player who we could make a nice profit on

 

 

 

they all come a distant second to allardyce, but then his record was exceptional

Great

 

All is well then

 

Each Manager has inevitably cleared up from the disasterous position left by the previous incumbent

 

And you can't say that megson wouldn't kept us up the season he left bearing in mind where we were

 

Well you could but most sensible folk wouldn't; we were fucking dire then. As we are now.

 

Glad you're happy with Managers who get us out the shit for a bit and then pop us back in it

Coyle's record as manager of Bolton Wanderers

Overall

P82 W28 D15 L39 F92 A130

 

Since 1.11.10

P47 W18 D5 L24 F64 A79

 

Since FA Cup Semi Final v Stoke

P20 W5 D0 L15 F29 A48

 

Make of the above what you will but it is hardly the record of a manager who is progressing.

All fair points but what makes you think Megson would have bought some more good players? When he was given money he got some really good buys and some really shit buys but they all cost ?4m-5m a piece. I just dont think that the money is there now until we sell someone on (i.e Cahill), its not OC job to negotiate players contracts / transfer fees but someone has cost us big time.

Oh come on, let's not start a Megson v Coyle debate.

 

Yes we've got a lot to thank him for. He kept us up when we looked doomed and he brought in some good players. But we'd have gone down under him, I have little doubt about that.

 

Coyle then came in and did a fantastic job in keeping us up.

 

The trouble is, unless something changes in the next couple of games, it's now beginning to look like we're going to be in a similar position to the one we were in a couple of years ago.

 

We need a Coyle/Megson hybrid, ie someone with a bit of passion and enthusiasm who doesn't think we're all cunts, but also someone who knows how to grind out a result.

Passion and enthusiasm? Traits that seem to be sadly lacking at the minute in the manager and team and was never shown by Megson either

 

They are the traits that Coyle did show. Sadly he doesn't even seem to offer that any more. He looks like a beaten man.

 

Megson never showed any. He was a cunt and thought we were cunts. However, at present, I'd gladly have a cunt in charge if he could make us hard to beat.

I'd let him see the season out.

 

Crazy Maybe. But I would.

 

Can't see what we'll achieve by getting rid.

 

Move into yet another transition period? Brilliant.

 

This doesn't mean I think he will keep us up but just can be arsed jumping on the manager merry go round again.

 

Another spineless defeat though will probably change my mind.

I agree with Homer, 10 games in and one point better than LSL I think. To change now will give us another wage bill on garden leave, a period with no manager at all and when the new manager arrives another transitional period or even periods. All this and no money to spend. The powers that be didnt help Coyle in the summer, they didnt even give him back the money earned in the transfer market. Garside out.

The money from Habsi, Taylor & Ward went on Ngog, Eagles and Mears.

Matt, It did not add up to ?7.2 million, but then what about the 5% increased attendance, the increases in corporate, increase in merchandise sales and the TV money etc.......... BWFC have just released the financial info for last year, could it be the team suffered to improve the balance sheet, or am I a sceptic? Improved balance sheets usually relate to higher bonuses for the top management. mmmmmmmmm It appears there is nothing worth having in the EPL transfer market below ?5 mil, None of our incomers were near that. Garside out.
