Owen Coyle sacked again!

Well who would have thought it!



Former Burnley, Bolton and Wigan boss Owen Coyle has left his role as manager of Major League Soccer side Houston Dynamo by mutual consent.

The decision was taken with the 49-year-old wanting to be closer to his family in England.

Coyle joined in December 2014 on a three-year deal but his side have struggled under his tenure.

They did not make the play-offs last year and are currently bottom of the Western Conference.

"I asked [club president] Chris [Canetti] if I could speak with him and I explained the challenge of being away from my family," Coyle told the club website.

"I'd like to thank the Dynamo supporters, who have been outstanding. We have a brilliant club, and I have no doubt success is just around the corner."

It is now he's left, I like him as a guy but once his rhetoric and rah rah has gone there is no substance to his management.

10/1 on to return as manager.. parted company to be closer to family is the official line. But rumour has it he has had contact from Holdsworth over he past few weeks and will be announced as manager of Bolton once again now Dynamo have finally agreed to part with Coyle.

Football really is crazy 

I'm amazed he lasted this long !!

And the prize for the worst ever wum attempt on Nuts goes to...

Well done Boggers!

So utterly unconvincing on so many levels.

I'd have him in league 1

And he'd have us in league 2.

Dunno...

Titling a thread "Coyle sacked again" when it clearly says he left by mutual consent comes pretty close WUM-wise.

Coyle announced as Blackburn boss tomorrow and Bowyer announced as Blackpool boss. Thank fuck we dodged that boring cunt

I'll be happy if coyle goes there. Another local derby to look forward to next season assuming we don't get promoted. (stop laughing, it could happen).

He's going through Lancashire like a dose of salts.

The Venky's had us going there for a while, we thought that they'd lost their sense of humour.

Saying that they deserve each other really wouldn't do it justice.

It's just too funny.

He's very popular at Wrestlemania.

Confirmed as Blackburn's new manager

The 49-year-old Scot left his role with Major League Soccer side Houston Dynamo last Thursday.

The ex-Burnley and Bolton boss, whose last managerial job in England was at Wigan in 2013, replaces Paul Lambert, who left Rovers after just six months.

"First and foremost I'm absolutely thrilled and honoured to be Blackburn manager," he told the club website.

"I look forward to working with terrific people at the club. The ultimate aim is to give a team that is representative of the fans, a team that is entertaining and hard working and a team that can win."

Assistant manager Alan Irvine and first-team coach Rob Kelly, who worked under Lambert, keep their roles at Ewood Park.

During his time in the United States, Coyle's Houston side failed to reach the play-offs last year and sat bottom of the Western Conference when he left.

Coyle, capped once by the Republic of Ireland, helped Burnley to the Premier League seven years ago before switching to Bolton.

He guided Wanderers to 14th and an FA Cup semi-final but was sacked five months after they were relegated in 2011-12, and then lasted less than six months at Wigan.

"We took our time and conducted a thorough search and Owen was the standout candidate," said Blackburn director Mike Cheston.

"He brings with him a wealth of management experience, a strong track record in the Championship and we believe he will complement our existing coaching staff perfectly.

"He meets all of the criteria we were looking for and we firmly believe he is the right man to take this club forward."

Blackburn finished 15th in the Championship last season, with Lambert and recently appointed Blackpool boss Gary Bowyer leading the team during the campaign.

In December, the Lancashire side came out of a transfer embargo imposed for breaking Financial Fair Play rules, but in March the club's latest financial results revealed debts of £104.2m.

The club's owners, Venky's, run by the India-based Rao family, bought Rovers in 2010 but have seen their debts rise after relegation from the Premier League in 2012.

However, last month Venky's said they were committed to supporting Blackburn despite an offer of investment from local businessmen Ian Battersby and Ian Currie.
