Wigan fan on the radio said it all went wrong because they needed "continuity" after Martinez, but Coyle wanted to change things. Made me laugh.

 

If they want continuity, they should go for Sandy Stewart to complete the job Coyle started.

Lets hope they do.

I don't think I've noticed before but Nixon looks like he could be a close relative of Bolton's top boy Cliff Morris

 

It's the pie diet and the less-than-manly hairdo.

Coyle ruined muamba by not playing him then stuck him in the team against spurs when not match fit

 

Hmmm.

 

I think there are a lot of things we can blame Coyle for, but nearly killing Muamba isn't one of them.

 

You could argue that playing him at White Hart Lane actually saved his life.  Had he been rested for that game and then collapsed at a different ground, where there was no heart surgeon in the crowd and no specialist hospital so close, then he'd have most likely died permanently.

Another Wigan fan " A guy nr the away end in the West stand shouted just before half time " taxi for Coyle , blue star are on their way" . Coyle mouthed back :- "f*** off", "

 

 

good for him

 

he's just risen the tiniest notch

Reading Dave Whelans comments in the paper...

 

He's going mad about Espinoza not being in the team and he question coyle on it numerous times.

 

Please please please tell me this Espinoza is a holding midfielder?

Whelan seems classy from some of these quotes

Makes me laugh that the football world seem to universally decide he'd be great to work for. He's a strap-on

 

Please please please tell me this Espinoza is a holding midfielder?

 

In one, tangoman.

In fact, I read somewhere last week that Coyle had Espinoza acting as a ball-boy during 5-a-side in training, whilst Coyle himself was playing!

 

I'll try to find it.

With Coyle whipping in crosses.

 

Couldn't make it up!

Uncle Dave " "Sometimes you get lucky and get a great manager like Roberto, Sometimes you get a manager that doesn't get on with you, the players, the fans" Pauses, thinks about it "Owen was one  "

 

 

did he say that?

 

doesn't say much for Whelan, he fucking appointed him!

came across this on twitter

 

made me chuckle

A slightly biased article from Nixon

 

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/dave-whelan-wants-find-new-2877234

 

He's blocking everyone on twitter

The veteran chief claimed Coyle forced the issue, but MirrorSport can also reveal that coach Graham Barrow was told he would be in charge before the chairman and manager argued.

Whelan said: “I had a meeting after the game and told him I was disappointed with the performance and the team selection. Owen asked if I wanted him to resign and I said yes.”

Now Whelan wants to hire a young coach and find his next Roberto Martinez. He may even consult the former Latics chief about the vacancy. Whoever gets the job should be off to a better start than Coyle. When he arrived in the summer there were not enough players for a five-a-side match.

Coyle walked into a club left ­devastated not just by relegation from the Premier League but a lack of forward planning. No keepers, one defender, two strikers who were on their way out and seven midfielders – one soon to follow Martinez to Everton and two carrying injuries  

 

 

 

  Strange one this, how long did they give Martinez!

Is Mike Pollitt not a 'keeper?

I knew I'd read it somewhere!

Is Mike Pollitt not a 'keeper?

 

He was out of contract, but given a further 12 months (presumably by OC, who loaned him out to Barnsley for a month once he had cover).

Whelan has a track record in publicly questioning team selections. He was interviewed last season after they'd lost and said that he wasn't happy with the team Martinez had picked and he'd be speaking to him about it. Maybe he should appoint himself manager and show them how it should be done.

Yes please!

Shame he broke his leg (you might not know that) or he could have been player/manager

I saw it on TV. And he did play again, but for Crewe.

Did he?  When was this?

About a week ago, judging by the way he was going on about it
