PAINFUL: Owen Coyle and Steve Davis look on as Palace fans celebrate their 5-0 victory at Selhurst Park yesterday
OWEN Coyle wants to replicate the play-off party staged by Crystal Palace at Turf Moor next season.
But the Burnley manager admitted he faces a summer of wheeling and dealing in order to make it possible, after ending the 2007-08 season with a 5-0 thrashing at a packed Selhurst Park.
The Clarets, who were reduced to 10 men after just six minutes when Clarke Carlisle was sent off for the second time in seven games, had their defensive frailties cruelly exposed by a clinical Palace side, who finished fifth.
And Coyle, who last week offered a professional deal to 18-year-old Alex MacDonald, after releasing Garreth O'Connor, revealed he will spend tomorrow informing the remaining six players whose contracts expire in the summer of his decision on their futures.
"It reinforces what I knew we needed, in terms of personnel, and we'll endeavour to do that in the summer.
"Defensively we've not been good enough. Albeit it with 10 men (against Palace), there's no getting away from the fact that we've given away real soft goals from our point of view.

"It's hurtful. And I've told them to make sure nothing like that ever happens again, whether it's the last game of the season or not.
"I'll speak to the players on Tuesday and we'll take it from there.
"There will be some we make offers to and some we won't.
"We'll get a few coming in to add to what we've got."
FOLLOWING EACH SHAMBOLIC AND GUTLESS PERFORMANCE (UNDER COYLE THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW) OWEN ALWAYS SAYS THAT "HE FEELS HURT" AND URGES THE PLAYERS NOT TO REPEAT IT.WHICH OF COURSE THEY DO A FEW MATCHES LATER.
DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH OF THE DEAD WOOD TO BE CAST ADRIFT. COYLE HAS LITTLE MONEY TO SPEND AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO BUY QUALITY PLAYERS - THAT'S IF HE WAS EVEN ABLE TO RECOGNISE ONE!!

Why cant you lot all go back to your own club pages and leave this for Burnley fans, we have shown we can play good football, we just need new players to fill in the gaping holes we have at present. Cotterill has brought in weak players who are too slow and too small. lets give Owen time to see who he brings in and how they perform.
Lets be positive

Coyle, you live in a dream world if you think you can take this team to the play offs, only Stan Ternant got close to that. Coyle is the worst manager at Burnley since Waddle, I can remember us all shouting Teasdale out, this man was a god compared to Flood and Kilby.
No money, an unknown manager unable to attract "players", a board and directors who do not invest in the club or care about it apart from being a money making machine.
The futures very bleak for Burnley as long as this lot are in charge and its about time they all went, Flood and Kilby sell out to a proper "fan" who isn't a property developer eyeing up a town centre site, and Coyle go back to Scotland and get a manager who has a grasp on the English leagues.

Coyle will not be having a play-off or promotion party at Burnley as long as I have an hole in my arse!
His teams have lacked quality, determination, guts, pride and passion - all of which should be qualities of a players who wants to wear the famous Claret shirt!
I remember reading on here a couple of days ago a comment about the teams of the mid-90's........how come we haven't seen a midfielder at the club who gives what John Deary gave? If only half of our defenders had the qualities of Steve Davis (Mk2) and John Pender? A quality winger like David Eyres? A striker like Andy Cooke? - None of these players were going to set the world on fire, but when they wore the Claret shirt, they ran their hearts out, and gave their all for the club. That is what we need!
If I had my way, they would all be given a basic salary of a minimal amount, and then large bonuses for winning - that would test a players characture! However, we probably wouldn't attract many players to the club, because we can't seem to attract winners!

"OWEN Coyle wants to replicate the play-off party staged by Crystal Palace at Turf Moor next season"
Remarkable lack of ambition before the next season has even started,
Ha Ha Ha,
A real club would aim for the automatic slots
dingles, what a joke

coyle appears to be a bit wimpish to me not enough steel to him. he seems to want to be Mr. nice guy. you cannot be that all the time. sometimes you have to be ruthless I do not think he has that in him.

From a Palace perspective the game on Sunday was brilliant, however i did feel for you Burnley fans who came all the way down from the North West to see your team hammered, i got the impression your team were just counting down the minutes until their summer holidays!! That is not right!! You have every right to voice concerns.
We played well and had the run of the game for long periods but 5-0 is an absolute drubbing, no team should lose by that. Also, How your manager could say they were soft goals is a poor excuse, Sinclair running past 3 defenders then scoring from 15 yards. Victor Moses volley... Soft? Your team looked devoid of all ideas. I think you need to rebuild in the Summer starting with the manager!!
