Manchester United legend Andy Cole says he'd love to join Owen Coyle at Bolton Wanderers.

Cole played for Coyle at Burnley and is now entering a coaching career.

In his column for the Independent, Cole wrote: "I'm not surprised Owen fancied that move because, to be blunt, Bolton are financially much better off, and that gives them a better chance of a sustained run in the Premier League, especially with Owen as manager.

"I played for him at Burnley for a short while in 2008 and he's a top man, and a top manager, the kind of gaffer who makes his players feel 10 feet tall. His enthusiasm is infectious; he's a 100-per-center in his work ethic and he worked marvels at Burnley on a pittance.

"I know how tight the finances were; Burnley don't splash cash on fees and wages, and though Owen wanted to give me a sensible year's contract, and I wanted to accept it, it wouldn't work for the number-crunchers. That's life. Owen had to deal in low-budget realities. Good luck to him at Bolton. And Owen, if you want to give me a call, I'm in the market for some coaching experience..."
