We dodged a bullet

Where will he take his teeth next I wonder?

 

[Tring Wolf]

Yep. I'll admit I got that one hugely wrong!

On a slightly related note - great start for another Wolves managerial candidate at Derby.

Yep, we could have got Steve Bruce

I can't stand the bloke or Dave Whelan, but it does show how mad football is. He has only been there 6 months and at the moment they are 6 points from the playoffs with a game in hand against Sheffield Wed. They have no fan base, lost some of their best players in the summer, have been punching above their weight for years, and now have the Europa League to contend with which has affected much bigger teams than Wigan. I don't know where they expected to be

TBF I was pro Coyle but must admit I so glad we got Jackett.

This is interesting blog about the situation at Wigan.

As much as i dont like Coyle that much, considering their position and the little amount of time he has been there i think its a disgraceful decision. 6 months is no time to judge a manager on building a team.

 

[bridgnorthwolf]

He threw a lot of money at that squad in the summer, but is completely clueless and inept as a manager.

He only plays his favourites regardless of performance.

Contrast that to Derby's squad which cost next to nothing, add in one of the best coaches in the game and they played them off the park.

Wait till the Solbakken fans read that...

....................phew!

 

[Jonzy54]

7 Managers sacked in a week.That must be an all time record.

 

[Deleted member 4023]

We did tell many of you that the bloke is an absolute clown & his reputaion was built around one promotion with Burnley. TBF he got 6 mths at wigan - I bet he wouldn't even have got three mths here.

Late November/early December is the time when a lot of managers get the sack, giving the new man a chance to look at the squad and see what he needs in the window-on the other hand, there is the Wolves way of doing it of course!

Nigel Clough did a cracking job at Derby in my opinion. McLaren will reap the rewards of his work.

I agree, although McLaren is highy rated as a coach. They may well go up.

 

[Vietnam Wolf]

I was never a Coyle apologist thankfully ... Compensates for the vitriol I spouted at Bruce I suppose.

In all honesty I agree with Mugwump ... Far too early to bin an experienced manager in the football leagues. Baldy had no $$$$ing idea so I don't accept any analogy there.

I don't like Whelan, but he kept Martinez in a job for years, even though they were generally only just avoiding relegation, so he is not a serial sacker.

alan curbishley maybe?

 

[FLEET WOLF]

alan curbishley maybe?

I would actually be quite surprised if Curbishley ever manages again in some ways.

 

[Anglian Wolf]

Simple as ABC - Anyone But Coyle

 

[Anglian Wolf]

On with the Jackett :driver:

 

[Wolvesthrunthru]

I was thinking the same but then read that John Gregory is in advanced talks with Crawley for their job, so never say never!

Yes, I read that as well!

 

[Woburn Wolf]

The reason I did not want him here is probably why he has left Wigan after only 6 months. Whelan may have his faults but he has never been a hire and fire Chairman.

Or.

It could just be that his 'foreign' ways were just too much for the Chump.

There was something about Clough in that he didn't really seem to have the urgency and ambition for his team.

Missing his father's passion and charisma.....couldn't drive them on.

 

[WalsallWolf]

I wanted Coyle, I will admit. It is frightening how many people did too. We are quick to use hindsight to criticize the board on the back of fans not wanting Bruce in light of what he has achieved since, we should be ultimately grateful for them not going for the fans favourite this time round. Correct decision.

 

[Essex Wolf]

Don't like Wigan, don't like Whelan, don't like Coyle so as regards his sacking, I don't care.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Surely when a club employ asmager there are long term plans. Sacking Coule after six months smacks of panic. Just because the few thousand regulars were unhappy with recent results does not mean he should be sacked.

 

[NewarkWolf]

Great to read how everyone on here hates and didn't want him bar 1/2 yet he topped a poll of wolves fans........ Obviously no one in that poll is a poster here are they

No, because only 5 people on here support West Brom.

 

[Karateowl]

He was my top choice, no doubt. I reckon this says more of that meddling old sissy Whelan than Coyle , who did a terrific job at Burnley and didn't fail with Bolton IMO.

Big Eck?

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

To be fair, it was a big ask with the Europa League to do well this season.

That sounds familiar......Que Dinosaunders

On what planet did he not fail at Bolton?!

He failed epicly.

Then did his best to ruin Wigan (which I thank him for).

Threw good money after bad and displayed complete tactical ineptitude and non man management skills whatsoever.

Some double standards on here. Some saying six months is no time to give a manager, yet I'm sure many of them would agree that sacking Saunders was 100% correct.

I believe strongly in stability and giving a manager time, but if you want to be stable and have a long term manager, you MUST have the right manager to begin with. It was clear after a fortnight that Saunders was never the right man in a million years and it's clear that Wigan are only going to drop further and further under Coyle.

 

[welshy]

On a slightly related note - great start for another Wolves managerial candidate at Derby.

That will be my no 1 choice.

I remember seeing an interview on TV with both Brian and Nigel. Every time the presenter asked Nigel a question Brian answered it.
Not his fault but maybe his dad was too strong a character and Nigel did not flourish because of this.
