Owen Coyle to replace Gary Megson as next Bolton Manager
OWEN COYLE set to replace Gary Megson as next Bolton Manager.
Bolton set to announce Owen Coyle as the new Bolton Boss; bookies have suspended betting on Coyle taking over from Gary Megson.
Owen Coyle dodged the post match Burnley news conference to open discussion with Bolton about becoming the new Bolton manager.
Burnley boss Owen Coyle watched his side Burnley beat MK Dons 2-1 in the third round of the F.A cup, he then made a quick exit without attending a press conference, Owen Coyle was said to be heading for a family reunion in Scotland.
Nevertheless, it is believed that Coyle will be having talks with Bolton to sort out his managerial future after Bolton received permission from Burnley to speak to the Scot about replacing Gary Megson.
It’s now understood that Owen Coyle has a get-out clause written in his Turf Moor contract and he is very interested in finding out what his old club Bolton have to offer in terms of available transfer money. Bolton has supreme wealth compared to Burnley making them favourites to sign him up, Coyle believes he can take Bolton further than he can Burnley.
An insider from Bolton said “it no secret that we want Coyle to replace Megson” “the stumbling block could be the compensation that Burnley are wanting if the move does goes ahead”
“I would expect some movement over the next couple of days.”
Its does look like coyle will be the next bolton manager now.
I have just had a text from a good friend saying that Coyle was seen at the Deveer Hotel Bolton last night having a meal with Gartside. It looks like a move it on the cards.
I say shame on Coyle if he goes now – he really ought to keep Burnley in the top division for a whole season before jumping ship, if he leaves now then don’t see how they have a chance of staying up. Seeing as Coyle’s departure is looking so likely I’m jumping in to the Burnley relegation market as early as possible, something many fans have no access to!
