Burnley Agree Coyle Compensation Package

Burnley and Bolton yesterday agreed a compensation package that sees manager Owen Coyle return to the Reebok Stadium.

Burnley fans are now looking to the future and chairman Barry Kilby has said he wants a new manager in within a fortnight.

Burnley's Graham Alexander came out to reassure fans that the move won't dishearten the players to much, telling the clubs' website, "We have played under him but we haven't played for him, we have played for Burnley."

With the Clarets game against Stoke being postponed today due to the snow, it gives caretaker Steve Davis more chance to get to grips with the team.

Burnley's worry now is that Coyle will come back to Turf Moor to pilfer the players he's brought in, such as Chris Eagles and Steven Fletcher.

David Nugent will be a major target, but Avram Grant may not let him sign for either North West club because of Pompey's transfer embargo.
