Seriously?! They definitely over achieved being in the premier league for so long...they surely didn't expect to go straight back up under Coyle did they?!

 

[greyseagull]

I have to say this hasn't been confirmed yet. A local journo up there has just tweeted it and a colleague of his has also commented that confirmation is expected.

Mods may want to edit the thread title?

Martin Jol to Wigan. Dave Jones to Barnsley. Owen Coyle to Sheffield Wed.

The Wigan fans would love that.....he ain't very popular up there.

 

[The Large One]

Mirror is reporting he has been sacked.

Coyle is a dinosaur.

Along with jones.

Be surprised if either get new jobs quickly.

Real shame. A new manager might not get them relegated. I wish he'd asset stripped a bit first, but there were none to strip away. Pity.

Thanks for your hard work at Bolton, and for doing your best at Wigan, 00Coyle.

was only a fortnight ago after they beat yeovil away and there was talk of him having a decent amount of money to spend in january for a promotion push...a few defeats later....

The rot started when we beat them. As their fans said, they should be walloping teams like us.

 

[Paris]

Not surprised. Shame for us though. Though saying that Whelan will probably bring in some other washed up has been

With his promotion record I wonder whether a certain person from the South West will be getting a phone call.

Online newspaper public comment:

Ruined Bolton and now ruined Wigan. Blackburn next and he gets a free car sticker. No-one's done the North-West this much harm since Maggie Thatcher!

 

[modulate]

Bit surprised by this one. Think to keep up their current form they should go for Appleton

 

[Conkers]

Oscar is now the 19th longest serving manager in the Championship. He's steaming up the league table!

 

[Bwian]

I know their forums aren't exactly busy, therefore not really indicative of how their fanbase thinks but there are some of them who genuinely want Hollowhead.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Ummm they're 6 points off the playoffs and have played a game less than most people AND have had a european campaign to deal with.

What a ridiculous decision.

Coyle will go back north of the border, Jones will end up as an assistant in a L1 or 2 club somewhere.
