Bris Vegas Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 So we've lost Martinez. Who can we get to carry on his philosophy with these good technical players? Owen Coyle? It's only going one way anyway It was a ridiculous appointment... I don't understand what they were thinking.. Afterall he took a midtable Bolton side and got them relegated and then carried on to make them a poor Championship side.. They look like being knocked out of the Europa League and down in midtable. They have a good squad for this level that can play football.. With Martinez they would have walked it.. They should get in someone like Darren Ferguson.. A manager that will actually go for goals.. They've got enough attacking options to score plenty at this level but they'll never do it with a mediocre percentage manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 How many managers have been sacked after losing to us in recent times? Southgate and Colin come to mind sure there's more. Didn't we relieve Agent Schteve of sabotage duty at the Florists a couple of years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Owen Coyle has been sacked by Wigan, as owner Dave Whelan reacted to fan power an hour after a home defeat. Latics lost at the DW Stadium on Sunday for the third time in a week - this time to Derby - and some fans turned on Coyle after a horror first half-hour when they conceded three soft goals. Coyle’s men could have moved within range of the Championship play-off places with a win against the revitalised Rams – now managed by Steve McClaren who, ironically, missed out on the Wigan job in the summer. The Scot was summoned to meet Whelan for crisis talks afterwards - despite his side coming back with a header from Nick Powell and twice hitting the woodwork – and the pair decided to end his spell. Former Bolton boss Coyle becomes the third manager to be axed on Sunday, following Fulham's Martin Jol and Dave Jones of Sheffield Wednesday. Wigan were unbeaten in their first 10 home games, but have gone down to Brighton, Zulte Waregem in the Europa League and now Derby, with a heavy schedule taking its toll. Coyle inherited a squad weakened by the loss of players following relegation from the Premier League and had no time to spend the £12million from the sale of James McCarthy to former boss Roberto Martinez at Everton. The Scot was fuming about the reaction of some of Sunday’s crowd. He said: “I will take what criticism comes my way. There is expectation at Wigan and there is a majority who are outstanding. “But there is a section that is ultra-critical. We have already seen that in the treatment they give Jordi Gomez. We should all be sticking together.” Minutes after Coyle spoke those words, he and Whelan – back from a holiday in Barbados – discussed the future and the 47-year-old's reign ended dramatically. Whelan picked Coyle ahead of McClaren, who had the last laugh as Derby marched into the top six and their buoyant away support sang his name while Latics fans howled for the head of their chosen manager. Midfield general Craig Bryson quickly curled a free-kick beyond Lee Nicholls for Derby’s opener. Ben Watson made a horrible mess of a pass to play in Simon Dawkins, who scored a simple second. Then James McClean bundled into the back of Russell Martin to concede a penalty. The striker stroked home the spot-kick as the locals chanted “We want Coyle out!” - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/wigan-sack-manager-owen-coyle-2874263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I love seeing Whelan fail. I hope he lures Billy there now. That would be amazing. Teams we expected to be unable to compete with are in turmoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Peterborough second lowest scorers at home in League One. Darren sure gets them attacking! Joint 18th actually Ralph.. And 2nd highest away goalscorers... Over the past 4 years they're the top highest scoring league side.. Not bad for a side that went down aswell!.. Plus they've lost some key strikers over those 4 years too Over those 2 Champiosnhip years they scored over 130 goals... And outscored us by 18, not bad for a relegation side at all..
