smithills_gent Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Oh his loans have been good, I was referring to permanent signings. Aye Wilshire and Sturridge were brilliant signings. Just looked up the midfield that got Megson sacked against Hull. Muamba and Cohen as the central midfield pairing ,Pisspoor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passmosster Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Wilshire of course kept the team with the crap midfield he inherited up. Another myth. He wasn't any great shakes up to the West Ham game and had at best 4 or 5 good games for us. As regards it going downhill after the Stoke game, I though that we had a bad spell in the League from early Jan that year and he showed no signs of putting it right. As regards Wigan having a better squad than he inherited at Bolton. Laughable. He had a nucleus of good Premiership players that came 14th with 41 points the previous season. Wigan just weren't anywhere near up to it in the League last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjayoghani Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 When you think about it, Holden has been good. The best you could say is judgement is still out on the rest. Alonso came good too I suppose. i'll level with you. the answer in my head was fixed i.e. shit list in the link http://www.lionofviennasuite.com/2012/10/9/3477974/breaking-down-those-that-owen-coyle-brought-in-a-look-at-the-mans I still reckon his big signings, expected to contribute i.e. not Allardyce punts, in the main have been wank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Agree, I think his loans saved his transfer rep. Not necessarily good at loans, Id say ambitious. Everyone knew sturridge, wilshire, Rodrigo, thiago ( I appreciate he didnt sign) etc were going to be good, was just ambitious enough to get them on board.

Astley White Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Coyle has actually set himself for a fall saying how marvellous the squad he has inherited at Wigan is. If it goes tits up he can't use his excuses of having no money and not having the players, like the bollocks he came out with after we sacked him.

onlyoneawalker Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just read that telegraph article usual platitudes from coyle most of it fair enough but the blokes a dinosaur in modern day footballing terms you can't deny his upbringing etc etc have contributed to his relative success in professional football and management buthe's clearly not changed one bit all that shite and the romantic gravelly Glaswegian tones don't get players fit, at their peak or teams tactically flexible it's as vomitsome as listening to Emlyn Hughes anecdotes in his Bill Shankly mode - unfortunately at championship level the enthusiastic Harry Bassett approach can work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatty Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Be intereting to see if some of the predictions on here about doing Well at first then shit come true.

Durks of Langho Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 OK so they get a 4 nil win against a 10 man Barnsley team, but, they will meet far stronger opposition as they make their way through this league in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Europe is going to be a major drag on Wigan's season. They'll also suffer from teams setting up to defend against them, something they'd never have encountered in the Prem. Coyle is too easily tactically outmanouvered, unless all of his instincts have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold Jackson Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Owen Coyle is an ex Bolton striker who I have fond memories of during a great spell for our club. He must have fond memories too as he left a club he was doing really really well with to come manage us. We were all pretty happy at the time. The Burnley fans spoke a lot of desperate, jealous nonsense at the time. So a few years on... it didn't quite work out and despite an attacking style and a good first 12 months we went downhill pretty quickly. Tactically Coyle was found wanting and we had to part company. Come on now guys lets not start to rant jealously if he enjoys a good season with Wigan ... ultimately we know he will be found wanting when the bad results start, but that could be a few seasons away yet Come on you Whites!

I'd say, Coyle being inable to formulate a plan B & relegation are a little more than "quite" Honestly, I'm not jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
