I find it incredibly sad that even after 7 years this guy will get a thread that will get so much attention giving him stick. He took us up, he left we have moved on. It seems a lot of our supporters haven't. It's pathetic.

I can only for the life of me think that another overseas league (Oz? Ireland?), or a non-league team looking for a 'marquee' name, or a Scottish team (lower than St Johnstone) would take him still.

The world is full of managers that were too big for their boots, and they rarely scramble back. Fair play to Grayson, he's one of the few that's getting back up (a bit)

Putting aside prejudice and whatnot because obviously most of you are a little bit one-sided on this subject, and you have just called him a LIAR after all, have you any evidence AT ALL that he hasn't been offered "two or three jobs"?
Just thought I'd throw the suggestion out there...

No one is denying him the fact he did exceptionally well in getting us promoted. Played some football that was a joy to watch, gave Burnley fans one of the best days ever at Wembley that day.
It's the lying he did during the way he dumped us for Wanky Wanderers. I was at the AGM just 10 days prior to him walking out. He said "I'm at Burnley Football Club as long as Barry Kilby wants me". He also stated he wasn't motivated by money. He'd be a hypocrite if he was, because when he's signing players if the first thing the player asks is money, then he's not interested in him anymore. 10 days later he was gone to a club who splashed the cash, that they didn't have. And yes 10 years ahead of us, didn't he also state that we would never reach the level Bolton where at? So yes, I'll never ever forgive the lying ****.

There is no place in football for sensible maturity.....if there were we wouldn't all go bonkers when Burnley take a first half lead against, say, WBA but, rather, stroke our chins and mutter "a good goal but as we all know one goal is not sufficient to guarantee a result and Tony Pulis teams are known for their resilience so there is no point celebrating yet and besides it's only 3 points which is not much in the context of a whole season".
Coyle betrayed us shockingly in 2010 and despising him , and revelling in his Partridge-esque decline, has been one of the many joys of being a Claret in recent years. Long may anti-Coyle threads thrive on here.

I'm not denying what he did for us in getting us promoted, I just can't abide liars. Every time he opens his mouth a lie comes out. He couldn't just say that he was available could he, he had to make out that he had enough offers to be choosy.
The thing is, as they asked him that question I just knew what he was going to come out with.
I've never known an ego like his where it's totally unwarranted.

I suppose a sort of pretend form of despising is acceptable if it remains in the virtual realm. If it strays in to real life then I would say you've got a problem.

I think you are confused. It began shortly before the play-offs. (We weren't really threatening the top 2 that season, and a play-off slot was only secured on the last day.)
The wheels were coming off by December. I make that 6 months.

The 2009\2010 season must go down as one of Burnley's greatest achievements.
Coyle and the team not only achieved what at the time seemed impossible but also gave us supporters memories that will last all our lives.
Would we have avoided relegation had Coyle stayed we'll never know but without him Burnley would not be where it is now.
We should remember what he achieved and forgive him his leaving.

Woonderbah · Post by **Woonderbah** » Sat Aug 05, 2017 10:37 am

Seems to me Coyle has been dining out on the 09/10 promotion for a long time simply because there's no other positives on his CV.
He was told he basically had a job for life with Burnley even if we were relegated from the PL.
He was even touted as the next Arsenal manager to succeed Arsene Wenger.
His stock was soaring and then he gambled.. and lost.
Since then I personally haven't felt bitter towards him.. I've just found it funny.
When you watch 'You've Been Framed' and a cock-sure fat bloke falls off a skateboard trying to show off but lands on his face.. I laugh.. sorry but I do.
And that's how I've viewed OC's career since.. I laugh.. and the phrase 'come and ave a look at what ya could've won' bellows out.

No we shouldn't. Nobody would have minded him leaving, the fact is he shafted us, deliberately. The timing was designed to have as big a negative impact on Burnley as he could, the reason being it would make Boltons chances of staying up that much better.
He didn't know it at the time but he shafted himself as well, big time.
I loved watching the gung ho football, but the dressing room Laws took over was in disarray, yet Laws took most of the flack.
He doesn't deserve a top job, his CV shows he isn't up to a top job. That said I don't mind watching him embarrass himself again.

Some people behave honourably and some don't.
Many people have built great things and then suffered spectacular failure ( look at Fred Goodwin although everyone knew he was a nasty piece of work ). Coyle always took the moral highground and preached honesty, respect humbleness etc .Fans bought into this but it was all lies and his character was nothing like what he was trying to portray.

Yes we saw gung ho great football and had a great day at Wembley but I really enjoyed his visit with Bolton the cup, the abuse he got and the atmoshpere that night. I think it will be a long time before he comes to the Turf and gets a round of applause whether some feel it's pathetic or not.

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Sat Aug 05, 2017 11:54 am

I'm not suggesting it's pathetic that he comes to the turf and doesn't get a round of applause. What I am suggesting is the level of interest he gets on here from posters who can't wait to bash him still after so long is pathetic. He should be confined to the history books and be irrelevant by now yet he clearly still gets so much attention.

None of our history is "irrelevant". Our history is what makes us.

Do you suggest we should be apathetic to every aspect of the history of the club?

Should we look back we deep "irrelevance" to our Championship winnings sides? Shrug our shoulders at our forays into Europe? Throw away our 'Burnley are Back' VHS cassettes? Not care about the Wembley play-off wins?

He gets the attention because his conduct warranted it.

It's also happens to be ever so slightly hilarious.

There is a huge difference in being proud of our history and constantly obsessing years later over a former manager. It makes us look silly.

Who's "obsessing" here? I'm only having a good laugh at the failure of a man who constantly preached loyalty and then scuttled our chances of fighting relegation whilst helping our rivals.

It's nothing more than a good bit of schadenfreude as far as I'm concerned. If I can't enjoy my base emotions with regards to football then when am I allowed to indulge them?

When somebody starts a "Remember Akinbiyi's Hattrick at Luton?" thread or a "Memories of the Division 4 Champions" nobody but nobody pops up and accuses us of "obsessing" or "living in the past" - we're simply indulging ourselves in shared experiences and emotions.

It's exactly the same with Coyle except instead of fondness we're looking back at somebody who shafted us. Nowadays the emotion is exhilarating hilarity at how far the snake has fallen but it is no different in its form from the nicer nostalgia type threads.

The only difference is in how people react to them. People like yourself seem put out by the fact that we are motivated by dislike of the worm. Fair enough - you live your life like a good Christian and turn the other cheek (just as Coyle himself would have preached - haha!)

But until our chunky, Irn Bru-slurping Scottish friend has the wherewithal to ride naked on a donkey through the streets of Burnley, washing the town's feet, begging our forgiveness, accepting he did us wrong and reading in penitence from the Book of Ruth outside the Forresters then I'm going to enjoy laughing my tits off at him and his constant, hilarious failures and downward trajectory ever since leaving us in the lurch.

I like to think I'm a man of my word. I swear now on my life that if Owen Coyle does this then I'll stop laughing at him.

Until then I'm happy to accept my mocking him IS motivated by dislike but that's a perfectly valid emotional response as far as I'm concerned. It certainly isn't "obsession" - I have no interest in lower league managerial failures. But when the opportunity comes to have a laugh at Susan's expense I'll take it.

You shan't stop me from having my fun at Mr. Boyle's expense. Nor shall anybody else.

The difference being Burnley had been relegated, and Blake had an opportunity to stay in the premier league. At his age no one begrudged him that chance, same as we didn't begrudge Tripps, or Jay Rod, or Ings.
