I’m not sure why we are trying to compare Coyle with Dyche? It is patently obvious that Dyche has been a far more successful manager than Coyle. Now that Coyle is managing Queens Park it could be argued he has found his level in the third tier of Scottish football. If he gets them promoted however he will probably be managing in the Scottish Premier again very soon.Goobs wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 12:03 pmYeah you're right. Much more exciting g scraping into the playoffs at the last minute and having a cup run than winning a title going 23 undefeated or qualifying for the Europa playoffs after finishing 7th and upsetting the big 6 many times in the last few seasons.
He did do well at Burnley though and must have been a good motivator in that promotion winning season which I thoroughly enjoyed, including stopping an extra couple of unplanned days in London on the strength of the play off victory.
Dyche is a different kettle of fish altogether than Coyle. He has brought success to the club for several seasons, if survival in the Premier League is measured as success. However, the rigid style of football we play does not endear us to the tv watching football public. I rarely get excited watching us and would estimate I see around half a dozen games a season that are good to watch. The rest are generally dire.
It is looking probably 60/40 on that we will be relegated this season and I am not sure Dyche will be able to deliver a swift return back to the Premier League with what will be a depleted ageing squad and no real money to spend from the parachute payments? Interesting times.
Back to Coyle though. I don’t wish him any ill will anymore. I hated him at the time for the deceitful way he left us but I have gotten over that. I thank him for what he did for Burnley FC and the exciting football we played under him, and I wish him well for the future even though I am sure he is destined to fail.
