You mean the Bolton manager with the best win ratio EVER?

But he's made too many mistakes, the biggest being not sorting out the defence. A new contract for Zat Knight was crazy, but so has the picking of Mears every week - a choice I don't understand.

Agree with these sentiments. I so wanted him to do well, but it didn't happen.

So first we hear OC is definitely staying and that turned out to be the dreaded vote of confidence.

Then we hear PG is on his way to Mexico so.. wonder if he sacked him and then went on holiday?

We need Uwe Rosler - didn't anyone tell PG that Brentford is in London?

OC is a nice lad and I'm sorry he had to go but it's his own dam fault.

Some fool in the BEN wrote that OC was trying to play attractive footy ....that was his downfall...... no laddie .....the football was some of the most dire in several years. Along with no end of daft team choices etc.....

As I said before .... all most of us want is to put out the best 11 ..... play some decent footy..... if you get beat by a better team then so be it. Don't show me left wingers playing on the right .....right backs playing on the left.....midfielders on the wings and slow donkeys up front ....on and on.

It's not rocket science.

i'm sad for owen coyle, he seemed a nice bloke. but nice blokes don't normally make good managers and it was time for a change.
