[Archived] Megson Sacked, Coyle Takes Over

[meerkat]

From Bolton.

[sparkspakespoke]

They can have Sam back and we'll have Hughes back, we can then pretend the last couple of years never happened

[thenodrog]

Hughes wouldn't have to move house.......... and come to think about it neither would Coyle!

[Guest Kamy100]

Not a surprise, Bolton fans have been on his back all season.

As posted in another thread, I think that they will go for Coyle.

[RevidgeBlue]

Bugger, that's them off on a good run now then.

[Guest Kamy100]

They may even go for Hughes, although I think that he may want sometime out of the game after his City experience.

[Hughesy]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Not suprised.

Lets steal Klasnic now!

Dowie lives accross the road from their ground - is he in a job?!

[koi]

Think the fans have forced that one! Was it not Gartside who recommended Coyle to Burnley after interviewing him for the Bolton job?

Can't see Sam going back though I wouldn't really mind! How about Megson to PNE, Sam to Bolton and Hughes back to us!

[RevidgeBlue]

I would imagine Hughes and his team feel they deserve a bigger job than Bolton. (And Rovers) I don't think their reputation have been too badly tarnished by the City fiasco.

I would be gutted to see Hughes at the Reebok.

Just thinking the same thing! Don't you just hate it when the teams at the bottom change their manager, you always feel it gives them a fighting chance!

[nick123]

Coyle all the way, next thing on sky sports to scroll across the bottom in the next ten mins !!

[Hughesy]

IF for some crazy reason Sam went there - then we would go down.

However it wont happen as there is some serious business that happened with Sam & Gartside's family

[Ossydave]

Hughes straight in at 7/2 favourite, followed by Darren Fergie who seems the more likely to me....

Only one of them surely?

[Stuart]

We might now see exactly which candidates we would have if Sam was to go any time soon.

It should be very interesting...

[philipl]

Sam is not going to Bolton, end of.

Darren Ferguson is a very good shout - however it could go oh so wrong like Ince did with us!! VERY RISKY!

Id be gutted if Hughes went to them to be honest!

[Guest Kamy100]

Hughes is bookies favourite to take Bolton job.

I too would be gutted to see Hughes at Reebok.

Sam won't go back to Bolton as he had a serious falling out with Gartside towards the end of his tenure and there has been subsequent stuff.

Former Italian Goalkeeper Walter Zenga was heavily linked with the job earlier this season.

[philipl]

The problem of Hughes et al going anywhere is that they are earning about £5.5m a year between them for the next 18 months for doing nothing. City have effectively put them on gardening leve in relieving them of their duties.

Are Bolton going to buy that sort of pay-off off them?

Hughes would surely be looking at better options than Bolton, would be a step back for him.

He will be looking for a bigger job than the one at Bolton

[Stuart]

What I meant was Bolton should be choosing from the same pool of players we would be. They have about the same to offer.

Hughes would be the exception. Big step down for him though. To an extent it'd be like coming back to Rovers.

[Darwen Rover]

I'd be flabbergasted if Hughes went to Bolton, didnt he leave us because he wanted to join a team with more ambition.

Personally reckon he's Newcastle's next manager...

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Hughes is only bookie's favourite because he's the biggest name out of a job. It's only been half an hour since Megson got sacked, there's no inside knowledge on this one yet.

Would think as time goes on that Coyle will be tipped and then come out as not interested.

I can see them going for someone from the upper end of the Championship, like Holloway. He's doing wonders on no budget.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

My dark horse - Simon Grayson. Hughes might go though, depends how keen he is to get back to work. Coyle ? I don't think so.

[RevidgeBlue]

Can't see Sam going back though I wouldn't really mind!

Sam wouldn't go back to Bolton but I must admit I wouldn't be too unhappy if someone came in for him in the same way Newcastle came in for Souness.

Good shout but if Leeds go up and Bolton go down you might argue he'd be better off staying put.
