They have no money due to a joke fanbase. The sooner they're down the better!

MONEY?

It's been great to see a small club with passionate supporters holding their own in the PL, playing football on the deck & putting all these over-rated clog & hoof merchants like Allardyce & Moyes to shame by proving that it can be done on a miniscule budget, without resorting to set pieces & rugby.
If he goes there, he'll need to change the habits of a bunch of hardened hoofers almost overnight & probably end up with the sack whilst some neanderthal will probably get the Burnley job & turn them into into Bolton mk II. Tragic.

Disagree with that - Matty Taylor is a pretty good player, Kevin Davies is a proven prem striker no matter how much of a fouling twat he is, and the Korean lad who plays on the right is also decent. Klasnic is a mint striker who i wanted at City a year or two ago.
To be fair one of my best mates is a bulltown season ticket holder and he had myriad complaints about Megson. The game that got him sacked was a prime example of one of them; 2-1 up at home against Hull, a side they should have beaten, when instead of trying to further extend their advantage he takes their best striker (Klasnic) off to try and defend the lead. This with a defence which has not kept a clean sheet all season.
Coyle compensation agreed
Sky Sports News sources understand Bolton and Burnley have agreed a compensation deal for manager Owen Coyle.
The Trotters identified Coyle as their primary target after bringing Gary Megson's reign to an end in the wake of last Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Hull City.
An approach was made for Coyle, who has enjoyed great success during a two-year spell in charge at Turf Moor.
The Scottish tactician, who spent time with Bolton as a player, has already held talks with Reebok Stadium bosses about filling the vacant position.
And he has now moved a step closer to being appointed as manager after Bolton offered the £3.6million it would take for the Clarets to release Coyle.
Burnley chairman Barry Kilby will meet with Coyle later on Monday before an announcement is made about his future.

Burnley, on my reckoning, would be more likely to come back up, even if they were relegated this season (and I actually fancy they could survive anyway; they've got a pleasing and effective style).
In comparison, Bolton will be selling Cahill the minute a top team comes in for him, even if they survive. And, if my prayers are answered and this season is their season to go down (they were kept up by Megson after all!) they will take ages to come back up, what with football being what it is today.
No money, an aging squad and a frankly poor support base.
It couldn't happen to a nicer club, really it couldn't.
