When it come to loyalty in football, let’s face it, nobody has it accept the fans. Players will always want to go to a more successful club and for more money, that’s just how it is, players like Matt Le Tissier who stay at the one club for their whole careers just aren’t around anymore and a lot of that is down to the money in the Premier League.
So, if players want to move on to what they think is to further their careers, why can’t managers? Owen Coyle is the latest to be called a traitor and why, because he wants to go to a club he has played for and has an affection for? Moving from Burnley to Bolton isn’t the biggest step he could have taken but if he thinks he can achieve more with Bolton then that should be his choice. Burnley fans should thank him for what he has done for their football club, he has got them to the Premier League for the first time in 33 years when they were the un-fancied team and have played some great football along the way.
The Burnley fans, to be fair, are probably so annoyed about it because they know they could be in a lot of trouble now. They have a great home record in the league but away from home they have had some real beatings, Owen Coyle could have been the man that held it all together so they really need to appoint the right man there or the second half of the season could be very miserable.
