What a Guy !!!!!

Yep.
Special mention must go to the Boil that's Coyle and his excellent 'Loser Virus'.
Seeded and cultivated in the right place, just at the right time.

Funny really as we all know some team will hire him again

What an interesting thing memory is. I still remember this boards reverence him after he got us promoted.

What's he up to now ? Binge drinking on Irn Bru in celebration at his destruction of Lancashire football.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun May 07, 2017 2:50 pm

Bygones are bygones for me now.

He got us promoted to the Premier League and then was critical in taking Blackburn Rovers to League One.

I am going to forget the bit in the middle now - Owen Coyle is a Burnley FC legend and should do the halftime draw annually.

Therefore you should remember when he left us mid season taking all the backroom staff and making it practically impossible for us to remain in the prem.

Yes, the man deserves a lot of credit. I think I can now finally forgive him.

Not forgiven, but some kudos in the bank, did his bit.

The double over Newcastle was a masterpiece of deception.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun May 07, 2017 4:24 pm

A shame he couldn't see the job through himself but a success nonetheless.
Well done Owen.

You are so right-ish (this Board wasn't born then but we'll let you off with that one)

He was revered for what he achieved at t'Turf, then spit on his chips in the way that he ****** off to Horwich.

He has recovered some of his lost reverence this Season, helping to free up a place in the Championship for (hopefully) Fleetwood Town.

Quicknick · Post by **Quicknick** » Sun May 07, 2017 4:33 pm

Definitely Fleetwood and not Bfd Shitty, I hope.

Fair play.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Mon May 08, 2017 7:52 am

It makes you wonder what other factors were in play for him to do so well here, and so poorly elsewhere.

He might have saved himself from the firing squad, but he can have a cyanide pill instead

Lord Beamish · Post by **Lord Beamish** » Mon May 08, 2017 7:59 am

In fairness, C&J, he had a similar amount of success at Bolton. He kept them up twice and got them to a Semi Final(where they tanked spectacularly). It was his third season there that it went utterly pear-shaped.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Mon May 08, 2017 8:06 am

True mate.

I wonder if he just burnt out, like some kind of Scottish shooting star. Too bright too fast.

Acting Claret · Post by **Acting Claret** » Mon May 08, 2017 8:10 am

His devastating style has taken three semi established premier league outfits and left them languishing in div 3 after his antics.

morpheus2 · Post by **morpheus2** » Mon May 08, 2017 8:12 am

Very clever Owen, he loves the Clarets so so much that, as soon as he realised he couldn't stop a team from being relegated he took it on himself in a courageous act of selflessness and self-sacrifice to do what was best for the Clarets and leave them in better hands, and then systematically destroy every other team in Lancashire(ish) utterly decimating our closest rivals for us, knowing that this would leave his beloved Clarets 10 years ahead and top dogs in these parts for many many years....

Forgiven? Surely it is now clear that this was our own demi-god's plan from the outset, there is nothing to forgive, in fact we should be asking forgiveness for our doubt and blasphemy, I never doubted you oh sweet saviour. Ameen

lakesclaret · Post by **lakesclaret** » Mon May 08, 2017 8:18 am

Bolton
Wigan
Blackburn
Burnley (let's face it)

He even left his yank outfit winless and floundering at the bottom of the league

His managerial record is closing in on the late Alan Ball

I'd change "annually" to "weekly" to be honest at the moment.

What a job he did for them!

I presume he is finished now as a manager having left or been sacked from 5 clubs he has helped to relegate namely us, Notlob, Wigan, Rovers and Ross County-clearly a man who "knows not and knows not that he knows not"

Pretty sure Houston were bottom of their league when he left on Aunty Watch.

If you want to get relegated, Coyle is yer man, so will probably end up at Sunderland...

You know you’ve hit bedrock when even Leeds aren't looking at you, and you are thought to be worse than Hockaday.
