Can't see Coyle taking a step backwards from premier league football to SPL myself.

he hasnt managed in the epl, and if he stays at burnley, chances are he will only be in it with them for the one season.

Look at it from a business perspective, at Celtic, he is in a two horse race, has better pulling power for players (not much better mind you) and will have a v good chance of managing in the CL if he can even be slightly better than strachan and beat a rubbish rangers and win the league.
Longer term prospects for Coyle would be better at Celtic, all their former managers also went on to other clubs for decent money ....at least for a wee while (apart from liam brady who just want cut out for it!)


dont know why people are so hard on magilton, the guy isnt brilliant but imo no worse calibre than strachan when he joined Celtic.

wouldnt want Lambert. Not sold on McGhee and only slightly warmer to Mowbray.
Billic has no club record and is a high profile risk.

I actually fancy Burnley to stay up next season with a few decent signings - Especially considering some of the current dross in the league in Hull, Pompey and Wigan could be in disarray.

Why the hell would Coyle leave a premier league side playing in the best league in the world to go and manage in a third rate league at a club who has half dozen big league games a year. Champions League is an obvious attraction but even then it's not as if Celtic last long there either.

Be a hughe mistake for him to leave Burnley and can't see him wanting to leave anyway.

wouldnt say it would be a mistake at all.
He knows he will bein a relegation dogfight from the word go.
He does seem to be a very astute manger and the kind that Celtic need. Doesnt need to buy high profile players, he creates a TEAM.

Coyle knows he could prob get the Celtic job next time around but its taking the right jump when you can.
IMO its a bigger gamble for him at burnley, yes more money to spend, but less of an attraction to anyone apart from pre war english soccer anoraks.

The questions here are - his desire to manager Celtic (reminiscent of Martin O'Neill and his draw to the club)
and the profile/exposure he will get between managing either Celtic or Burnley - leading to him being able to command higher wages and higher level jobs ....well I'd say that no matter how bad the spl is perceived, Celtic manager role is still high enough that even people like strachan can command easy entry into a handful of mid table epl sides now !

Just as I predicted ;D

Stachan could do a job with keeping Burnley up.

Owen at 1/3 now.
Not a cert yet.

Celtic are still a big draw especially for someone who was a Celtic fan all his life. Burnley may have got promoted but otherwise there is no comparision to be made between the clubs at all in terms of size, history and tradition.

Coyle could go to Celtic win a few league titles and get some european experience and his stock would only rise further much like MON's did. If he was to succeed up there there would be no shortage of Premier League teams who would give him a job in a few years time.

Obviously though I imagine he feels some loyalty towards Burnley but it must be very difficult for a boyhood fan to turn down a club like Celtic knowing there's a possibility you might not get asked again.

Lads re Lennon, superb servant for Celtic though it seemed that strachan brought Lennon in to do exactly that stated above but to be honest Celtic have not showed any heart for months know what you's are saying though not sure I agree

Put a bit boot polish in his hair and you never know, you might get 2 good years out of him.
