I got this far.....

 

?If I go toe to toe with Manchester City and lose I can cope,? says Coyle.

 

 

?They have spent ?300million while I am in profit here.

 

 

 

Excuses already being made I see

I didn't like Allardyce and many didn't like Megson, whilst Sammy Lee was inept, but....

 

you'd never see any of those 3 going into game thinking that a defeat was accepatable as long as we'd tried hard/played pretty stuff.

 

SA & GM both beat United: that will not happen under OC.

I disagree

 

After the first few attempts there was alot of concern that SA rolled over at OT for example....I remember bizarre team selections; oncebour midgield was very odd....which kid was it tgat he debuted there?? Many reckoned he was helping his mate Fergie out.....I believe he was just being overly pragmatic; perhaps like Coyle, just manifested differently

 

Having said all that, I have a tkt today and after reading the article it's pissed me off and I feel like not going

Under previous regimes I wouldn't imagine it mattered who we lost to, the team would be in the video room Monday morning being shown why they lost and what they need to do as individuals and as a team in order to try and make sure improvements are made.

 

Under Coyle I imagine its more like, "never mind lads, you tried your best against a world class side, it'll come dont worry".

 

There is no basis for fact in the above statement, its just the impression given out.

And when did Fat Sam say 3 days before a game it would be OK to lose?

 

OC can think it, but he really shouldn't be saying it.

 

Things you think and things you say...

He's been listening to Roy Walker

Er...

If Allardyce had said it (and I'm not convinced he didn't) this site would have been awash with knowing comments about mind games.

 

I remember him taking his three best players off after half an hour at Anfield, though, and that sent a much clearer message than anything a manager might say in the run-up to a game.

 

You're deluded if you think Coyle is going to sit in the dressing room before the game today and tell them he expects them to get slapped daft.

Megson constantly resigned us to defeats against top 4 clubs while he was in charge.

Eh?

Didn't we beat manu with meggo in charge?

Hence my "eh" Michael.

 

Let's not fuck about with facts though.

Didn't see your post as I was too slow in replying on my phone (bloody touch screens).

 

You're right though, and I apologise for stating a fact.

 

 

Eh?

we had to constantly listen to " they've spent more money than us" we're on a different playing field etc.

And what has that got to do with your previous bollocks statement?

Always felt we'd lost before we walked out against top 4 under his stewardship, with the performances and results (other than the 1 united game).

Dont believe that any manager would resign his team to a defeat, but Owen Coyle got close to it with his team selection against Wigan

 

Megson was a cunt, err is a cunt - never liked his miserable mug but Porto was the final nail IMO

When did we play them?

Coyle says if we have a go against a top team and lose he can take it that's not wanting or accepting defeat FFS megson and to a lesser extent allardyce used to bang on about our season not being shaped by results against top sides it's all much of a muchness - coyles not been great but he's starting to get stick for the sake of it like wearing shorts get a grip

If we're on facts, Megson's record against the (then) top four was won 1 drawn 1 Lost 12 in the league. Plus another defeat to Chelsea in the League cup.

The initial comment was 'constant'. Again, a fact.

Coyle seemingly will settle for a good effort.

Not a bad starting point, but for far too many games there's been a lack of that.

Why should it change now?

coyle out
