Bolton closing in on Coyle

BOLTON are hoping to prise Owen Coyle from Burnley in the next few days.

The Clarets boss met chairman Barry Kilby at a secret location last night to discuss his future and despite suggestions earlier yesterday that Coyle’s appointment as Trotters boss was imminent, Burnley say no decision will be made on his future.

“Senior Burnley Football Club officials have, on Monday evening, held detailed talks with first team manager Owen Coyle over his future at Turf Moor,’’ a statement on Burnley’s website read.
