Coyle remains ‘comfortable’ with Clarets exit
11:20am Friday 17th August 2012 in npower Championship table
OWEN Coyle is braced for a fiery reception at Turf Moor tomorrow, but insists his conscience remains clear about his departure.
Tomorrow’s Championship opener at Turf Moor will be the second time the Scot has returned to the club he managed for just over two years.
The Carling Cup brought his current and former club together the season after his controversial exit.
He felt the full force of the fans’ anger that night, and had his misery compounded when Wade Elliott – the player who had fired him into the Premier League with the Clarets – dumped him out of the competition.
He hopes former Burnley players Chris Eagles and Tyrone Mears, who were reunited with him at the Reebok last year, are in for a warmer welcome back.
Of the reception he expects to receive, Coyle said: “Whatever Saturday brings, it brings. It’s coming up for nearly three years now but whether water has passed under the bridge will probably be up to the individual. All I will ever have is good feeling for Burnley Football Club.
“Yes, there was a furore when I left but people close to me know there was loads of stuff I could have said but I didn’t. I know what happened word for word and minute by minute, and I’m comfortable, so that says a lot.”

Time has passed and time to move on. We should view this game for what it is, a true Derby clash where we need to get one over near neighbours and ready for the next big derby

Bolton will always be in front of Burnley - and one season in the Championship - like Newcastle and West Ham have had - doesn´t change that. It´s 30 years since Burnley finished above Bolton in a league table - and I don´t see that changing any time soon - do you???
Given yourself away with post on other article.

It will add spice to the match tomorrow for sure but I think its time to put the hostility to Coyle behind us and actually get behind the team this season.....getting behind the team rather than directing abuse towards oposing managers / players would be infinitely more beneficial!!

Plus, I just have to say - and I exclude certain Claret fans from this - as I know you´ve got your decent fans - but all this Coyle crap is an absolute disgrace. The rubbish I´ve read about ´ripping souls out´ - and ´an old enemy´ is frankly a joke! In a world full of murderers, rapists, child abusers, groomers, etc - you treat a man like this over a footballing decision - you´re no better than animals. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I can only presume you live very lonely, and hate-filled lives. I feel sorry for you.
I have no reciprocal sympathy.
'Beneath contempt' springs to mind.

Mate ´Time has not passed´ because you live in Burnley. The last time I went there - ´Shindlers List´ was premiering at Hollywood Park - and that was only last March :)
As for moving on from Coyle, well, of course we have done and will. Yet this does not ignore the fact that he left us without completing what he said he would for the hope of a longer tenure with some buddies who describe his 70-odd games as 'legendary'! He brought his one-dimensional tactics your way and, well, as you were to,d at the time, brought you to your knees (and the Championship.
You will not return soon and you will rid yourself of him before the season is out, possibly even asking Megson back!
You are on the down my friend and will continue to do so, we, are forward looking, developmental and on the up.
Get your dictionary out and look up irony, because, amusingly, that's what this all is!
Have a great day...

I've been to Blackburn (&Bolton) many times though and I don't remember either of them being the cosmopolitan utopia you're implying. As far as pundits/bookmakers go, are these the same ones who said "you'll never win anything with kids" and put celtic 3-1 on to win at Ross county today? Yet the lowly clarets swept Judas aside comfortably and agent Kean scraped a draw against those giants of European football that are Ipswich Town. Good Times! Welcome to the championship. UTC!
Thanks for your thoughts Todclaret. It appears EVERY bookmaker and pundit in England disagrees with you. Still, you´re a Burnley fan from Todmorden - so maybe you know something they don´t, LOL.
