Owen Coyle the new Wigan Boss

Dave Whelan loves the media

Cheap option if you ask me.

I doubt we'll see Wigan in the Premier League again.

He got sacked by Bolton after being relegated, LT.

What would you say Coyle will need to do to prove successful then LT? If it's promotion back to the premier league then I think he's chosen badly.

Happy to be proved wrong though as I don't consider myself a know it all cnut like you.

didnt he win a couple of promotion as a player at falkirk too, or have i the wrong owen coyle. was unlucky last season, having some, unfortunately common now, moaners in the dressing room. that never helps. i rate him, i wish he were with argo

You don't profess to know it all? Coulda fooled me LT.

I just don't rate Coyle and don't think they will bounce back straight away, nor does my Wigan supporting mate, or according to him most of Wigan's support. Totally underwhelmed was the general consensus.

i presume most of wigans squad is likely to move on with relegation, top 6 finish is most likely. got a feeling leeds & reading may be the top two -leeds 16/1 to win div (each way bet?)

Who knows,if Wigan start on the slide and Whelan doesn't fancy dipping into his pocket much more,they could well end up in their rightful place,playing the likes of Exeter every week.Always thought it was a major injustice that Wigan should be anywhere near the premier league,shitty little club who struck it lucky with Whelan-i remember going there and sliding down the non existent mud "terracing" where the away fans stood and thinking to myself how the feck are Argyle in the same league as this garbage.It's not as if they've really earned their status,unlike someone like Yeovil who truly deserve it.Fingers crossed for their demise,certainly wouldn't be a tear jerker for me if they went back down to the fourth division.

i have had the same feeling at every away game since aug 2010

I doubt they'll be signing a load of South Americans again like they have done. Championship football isn't that attractive with no Man Utd and Liverpool et al. They'll get a huge parachute payment and they'll be in Europe next season so they have one chance to get back. Owen Coyle's one of those managers that really doesn't inspire the fanbase and Wigan struggle enough with getting them through the door as it is.

I have been three times to Wigan plus one game that was postponed when I got there (From Chelmsford) and Greenskin is right that horrible muddy bank at Springfield Park was a disgrace as was Argyles performances as getting beat 3-0 on two occasions.
I had to go Greens on Screen for the dates but whilst there just looked at our record against opposing teams.
A bit of trivia (Without looking at GoS) can you name the three football league clubs that we have played most in our history?
I was a bit surprised.

I'll have a stab at Reading, Gillingham and Southend.

I'm pinning my hopes on it being southern teams.

bristol rovers, bournemouth & hull

Millwall Rovers and brentford?

Hull, Bristol City & Huddersfield

Definitely Bristol Rovers for one.The other two were probably clubs that joined the football league with us in 3 South,so i'll go for Millwall and Swansea.

Bristol rovers reading swansea.

OMG, invoking Pie Eaters to back up his ridiculous pronouncement, does this man know no shame?

Anyone that follows the standard footy supporters put down of "I just don't fancy him" when the man is eminently qualified for the job he has been given loses all cred in my book, it exemplifies clueless. Coyles new job is to get a boring Northern Shiite club promoted from the Chumps to the Prems, Coyle has done that very same thing twice with two different teams, the club of managers who have done that and are not already in a job is pretty small, duh, making this appointment a no brainer, for of course, anyone with a brain.

You're showing yourself up now LT.

Coyle got Burnley promoted from the Championship to the Premier League and fecked off to Bolton, already in the Premier League, at the first opportunity. He then preceded in getting Bolton relegated from the Premier League, but lets not bother about small details like that eh?

Also invoking pue eaters to back up my ridiculous pronouncement? The man's going to manage a bunch of pie eaters after previously managing two other pie eating teams. Maybe that's why I'm basing my judgement on what they say and not some asshole, know it all Exter fan who wouldn't know an awful lot about life outside the basement leagues.

When Coyle was Bolton manager he spent a large chunk of money on over the hill free transfers who couldn't give a toss whether they played or sat on the bench picking up good money the club couldn't really afford.

Bolton are now starting to look a much better side under Dougie Freedman who I do think has something about him as a manager, but obviously I'm happy to be proved wrong if Coyle gets Wigan promoted and Bolton do nothing next season
