Bolton Wanderers fans are backing the club's move for Burnley boss Owen Coyle.

Gary Megson failed to win over a section of the fans during his 24-month reign and Bolton Supporters Association spokesman David Blackburn said Coyle would an ideal appointment.

"I think he can help us turn a corner," he said. "The fans love him, and I'd like think we have got a bit more about us than Burnley in terms of money, potential and stadium. He plays the right kind of football that can get people back interested in the club and back into the Reebok. The first thing he has to do is keep us up, but he's exactly the right man to do it."
