Listening to the radio in the car today, OC was reportedly one of the front runners for the vacant Celtic job along with Moyes and Malky Mackay, though Henrik Larsson seems to be the favourite. Personally I can't see either Larsson or Moyes taking it because by all accounts there's no money for players but it would certainly fit Mackay or OC. Maybe this is a chance for Owen to get his mojo back, I mean if he fails at Celtic even without cash then you really do have to wonder where he could go after that?? Without Rangers in there surely even Owen couldn't cock that one up could he?

Yes you'd really have to be a useless manager not to be able to win the league with Celtic...

Not likely given he's of Irish descent and played for the Republic (once) and grew up in 'Little Donegal' in Glasgow....

Seems his star is rising and he is well thought of in the club. I couldn't fault his man management but his technical know how was a different matter. I would say that part of it matters least up there so this could be just the job for him. I wish him well anyway, wouldn't want him back here but he is still a hero of mine for that Wembley goal that got us back into the match and the PL. definately one of my very favourite Bolton matches.

Found out at Bolton,(finally), found out at Wigan (much quicker) for the deluded loser that he is. Could Celtic be so stupid?

I think he will do a great job for Stalybridge... People need to stop this constant harassment of Coyle. He was well out of his depth in the Premier League and the Championship, but I think he will make a great manager in Conference North.

Coyle, odds on now for Celtic job. 4/9. not a certainty, but he must be getting an interview or 2nd one for odds that low. www.skybet.com/football/specials/manager-specialsas much as i disliked/hated OC at that end, it would have been interesting to see him given a year or 2 at Wigan, and compare to DF. flawed as he is, i'd have tipped him to finish above DF every day of the week, and they were pretty much ahead of us, every week. OC did get Burnley up playing good football & spending very little. don't get me wrong, his constant selections of ZK wound me up endlessly. but when it was good under Coyle, it was very good. some of the best football i've seen at the Reebok ( eg. thrashing spurs just after they'd beat inter milan etc, a deserved 2-2 draw with Man u with Stu playing excellent, beating Arsenal with Sturridge scoring, demolishing west ham with Sturridge scoring 2. ) , and i think that 1 full season under him we scored more PL goals than in any other..even including BSA's time !. unfortunately whoever selects our managers ( eddie ? pg ?) just picks polar opposites everytime, lurching from 1 side of the spectrum to the other, instead of building a culture like huw jenkins does at swansea..... martinez, b rodgers, laudrup..so the next manager broadly likes the players they inherit. under coyle 4-4-2 was bad, now fans are screaming for it...lol.. u couldn't make it up.

I know we have more incentive to get to the EPL, but what of Scotland.. how much do they get; players; club, for winning things... just a thought... (even though not a good one...) anyone got any answers... well, you did say the SPL was Div 2 standard...

I think OC would be really sick if he didn't get this one now. Personally I hope he does I have no axe to grind with him, he did do some good things here including a cup semi final which if it weren't for Holden's injury would I'm sure have been a final.

The one thing that you never fail to deliver for me, is the ability to make my mind boggle!!!! (TW walks away scratching his head in disbelief).
