[Archived] Strachan Quits / Owen Coyle To Take Over Tomorrow

[DE.]

"Tomorrow, friday" ?

We'll see. If he's offered the chance he should take it.

[Billy Castell]

There must be something in all of this, as he is odds on favourite with all the bookies. Unless they're all as wrong as the bankers who boiught all the sub-prime mortgages.

[Iceman]

How good will he look, if he goes to Celtic, wins the league, does well in Champions league and watches as the Dingles are ripped apart. Hahahaha

[Sandiway Blue]

Now what we could do with is somebody in the know to confirm this,if only we knew somebody close to the manager in question.......hint....hint.....

I hear he's been linked to the new managers job at the new Tesco development up Feniscowles. PaddyPower won't give me odd's on that so there must be some truth in it.

BBC have changed their tune. Still don't see it happening myself.

[BRFCBOY]

all a bit strange this

[Billy Castell]

Indeed it is odd. Coyle allegedly quits so soon after the play-off final, leaving Burnley in the lurch. Do you think any clauses or tapping up played any part in this?

[tony gale's mic]

:lol: Too good to be true. Will be amazing if it happens.

[sambo]

I think so if he does leave, on the tapping up part.

I think he will stay due to his god like status, but will be very happy if he doesn't.

[3rdpillar]

Would I respect Coyle for staying? Not really. more like he would have caught stupidness from the Dingles. Should he go to Celtic if offered, duh YES

[jonv]

so cold if coyle was to leave burnley now. but that makes it all the more funnier

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Go on Owen!

[Gav]

:lol: Too good to be true. Will be amazing if it happens.

Come on Owen do the right thing lad.

[Billy Castell]

He's 8/11 on Skybet now, in from 5/6. O'Leary is now 10/1 third favourite, coming from nowhere. Can't find anything on the Ladbrokes, Coral or William Hill websites. Suspended betting perhaps?

[tony gale's mic]

Bilic has expressed an interest and is quite long odds, I'm surprised they're not considering him a little more..

I guess Coyle's Celtic roots will please the fans more though.

[Gav]

Just been on SSN, he wants to speak with Celtic - bye bye Owen

[AggyBlue]

SSN just reported Coyle has asked Burnley for permission to talk to Celtic.

Burnley saying no official approach has been made and one would not be welcome.

[RibbleValleyRover]

If I was a manager I would want to manage at the highest possible level, testing myself against some of the best teams and managers in the game in other words I would want to manage in the premier league. The Scottish league is an absolute joke and Celtic will never achieve anything in the foreseeable future on the European front.

I will be really shocked if he makes this move, he clearly doesn’t have the bottle or the desire to manage at the highest level if he decides to move to that joke of a league.

It can be a good stepping stone. MoN did OK didn't he.

He has to think long term.

That last line probably doesnt mean very much other than that theyll hold out for as much compensation as they can....its very hard to stop a manager from leaving.

If this goes through, I'm going to be delighted they got promoted. It'll be very hard to attract any sort of decent manager, Coyle was probably on a hiding to nothing anyway but someone trying to replicate that with a tiny budget and a very limited squad of players is only going to go one way.

[Eddie]

I think it's more he can probably see the writing on the wall and premiership history is littered with talented managers who brought sides up and then quickly fell off the face of the earth (Davies, Coppell, Dowie...).

[sambo]

Is it really on sky sports news?

Oh dear, he wants out already.!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

There are plenty of managers who could keep them up though, Curbishley etc.
