Owen Coyle to Leave Burnley FC

Burnley fans are reeling at the recent news that manager Owen Coyle is set to leave the club to join local rivals Bolton Wanderers.

Coyle joined the Clarets in 2007 and in a now infamous eighteen months dragged them from the middle of the Championship, to the semi-finals of the Carling Cup and through the Play-Offs to the green plains of the Premiership.

Coyle has earned great praise from all corners of the football world for his success on a shoestring budget.

In the wake of their Wembley win Burnley had to stave off rumours about Coyle leaving for Celtic.

Fans are feeling understandably betrayed by the move, five days into the January transfer window and with a crucial game against Stoke on Saturday looming, with Steve Davis expected to take charge.

An announcement by Burnley FC is expected later today.
