Coyle: Selling Taylor to West Ham good business for Bolton

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle believes the sale of Matt Taylor to West Ham United was good business for the club.

Coyle insists letting the 29-year-old leave made financial sense for everyone involved.

"It is a fantastic fee," the Wanderers manager told the Bolton News. "Matty will feel it's a good deal for him and we feel it's a good deal for the football club.

"He was going into the last year of his contract and West Ham were offering a three or four-year contract.

"I just think when you looked at the business side, £2.2m was a good deal all round."
