POLL RESULT: Coyle return to Burnley is favourite for fans
10:02am Wednesday 17th October 2012 in Sport
Owen Coyle
CONTROVERSIAL former Burnley manager Owen Coyle has been tipped for a return – by fans!
The Scot, who is out of work after being sacked by Bolton Wanderers last week, was the shock runaway winner of our online poll, which gave supporters the opportunity to name the man they want to see as Eddie Howe’s successor.
There was a surprising mix when it came to the fans’ choice, with no mention of former Claret Micky Mellon, who steered Fleetwood Town to promotion to the Football League for the first time in the club’s history.
Many supporters voiced their discontent at the idea of Coyle coming back to the club he quit in January 2010.
But when it came to the vote the manager who took Burnley into the Premier League came out on top.
Former midfielder Graham Alexander finished in second place, even though it would be his first managerial job.
Fans would also welcome a return for Steve Davis, the Crewe manager, or former Wolves boss Mick McCarthy who is understood to be the frontrunner for the post.
Your votes:
- Owen Coyle: 50%
- Graham Alexander: 16.6%
- Mick McCarthy: 8.3%

Heres a clue, when the people voting for Coyle have user names like "Roverstillidie", "jackwalkersblueandw
hitearmy", "roverfoxy", "harwoodstblue", "ronnie clayton", "Rovers 1495", or any other combination of Rovers, Ewood, Blackburn, blue and white or Jack Walker then there is a good chance that they aren't really Burnley fans and are perhaps being a bit mischievous!!

Good luck with Gary Flitcroft - who has lead his side to the dizzy heights of midtable in the Unibond League.
Rovers - making other fans laugh since 1875

It's a bit sad for Coyle that only half of Burnley fans want back someone who took them to new and rather unexpected heights (perhaps that early on anyway). Seriously blotted his copybook for ever at Turf Moor.
There is no way that he would be welcomed back by the vast majority of the faithful. Asking half a dozen drunks on a Saturday night isn't exactly the standard that you would get from Gallup!
Mischievous and well out-of-touch journalism, methinks.

Is this one of the controlled opinion polls done on line by the LET!!! The sam sort of poll that showed Kean had massive support from the Rovers "fans" and that Venkys are the best owners that Rovers ever had.

If that Poll is correct 50% for Coyle and I'm one of them, should be taken notice of. Grezza as his assistant,DREAM TEAM.I think they were the manager and the vice captain when the club was promoted to the Premier League in 2009.It's a great shame either left at all,the former because we are led to believe the board had no ambition whatsoever,and the latter because Eddie saw him as a threat,but having got rid of him then decides to jump ship himself.Coyle and Alexander were revered by the players in happy and very exciting times,so what has happened since they left speaks for itself.You cannot change the past but you can certainly change the future with what has happened in the past playing no part at all.

Bolton fans voted for a manager who achieved more at Burnley than he did at Bolton?
Dadless fans voted for a manager who achieved more at Burnley than Steve Kean did at BolEwood?
I'd be happy with Appleton

I doubt Coyle would be thick-skinned enough to make a return in any event, so it's just Phil Space reporting for the LET, which is about as valid as Suzanne Geldard's usual submission.
I think McCarthy's over-rated, (by about 8%), polling 8.3% of the votes. No ta !

Not Coyle.
Hence the lack of a proper breakdown of all the votes.
Face it my benefit dependant little chumps, you scruffy hipocrites are desperate for the return of the toothsome Scotch beer dodger.

What you genitically challenged lightening fearers are missing is that any Rovers fans who took part in this little survey would have voted for Steve Kean.

Lightning not lightening.
Dependent (adjective) not dependant (noun).
Hypocrite, not hipocrite.
toothsome means tasty, savoury, delicious, (as in toothsome snack).
Scotch is a drink.
3/10. Could do better.

So that you may cause maximum offence in future (because that's clearly how you 'get-off'), consider that I'm three-score and some years and that my mother died over 10 years ago.
Go and **** on that one, you sad, sad excuse for a human-being.
