Rumours abound on bluekipper that Louis Saha's off to Liverpool for £4m. Should this be true messrs MOyes & Kenwright better have a good explaination, and another player lined up that's not called Landon Donovan

I'm surprised really he doesn't appear to be in the frame, he was England material in some folks eyes not so long ago.
I'd take him over Reid or Jewell any day.
A number of bookmakers have reported money for Curbishley today forcing him into 3rd Favourite behind Coyle and Reid.

Would think him a pretty uninspiring appointment to be honest, but that might possibly because I'm firmly in the Coyle camp.

Which english grounds would you say have a good atmosphere these days?

The death of the atmosphere in english grounds came with all seater stadiums.I can even remember Ewood Park being a great place to watch football,now the atmosphere's not there anymore unless we're playing Burnley although the type of football we play under BFS doesn't help.

I think he's an underrated manager myself. Granted, he has his limitations for sure, but I think he'd get Bolton back to being a sort of 8th-14th side, which I guess right now you'd take.
You look at Charlton & West Ham since he left both clubs, I think it shows what a decent job he did at both, at West Ham, I thought he had them going the right way before changes of ownership etc left Curbs feeling he was undermined and he walked, which I agree with.
Charlton in particular, he did a great job, working within financial constraints etc.

Coyle has got a great chance of being this seasons Phil Brown. Great at the start, but sank like a stone after that and has struggled ever since.
For all the great work that Coyle has done, at the moment Burnley are two points better off than you, having played two games more.
Curbishley is a proven manager over a long time. For me Curbs would be a lot better bet than Coyle. Coyle may become a great manager, but the chances are more likely that he'll be a Championship manager next season, whether with you or Burnley.
