Owen Coyle has asked to be allowed to talk to Celtic about the managers job

I know its not exactly a big shock but i thought at this moment in time he would want to stay at Burnley

To be honest, if Burnley hadn't gone up I'd have fancied him as Bolton's next manager. Ex-player and living not too far away.

The Eto goal seems to have knocked the stuffing out of United, they've got very good options on the bench though.

Let down by some embarrasing defending when in the driving seat and it's changed the game

Surprised you'd have thought he wanna have a crack at the PL seen as he took Burnley there

He's a great manager and he was a huge factor in them going up and i really cant see them staying up if he gos

If you can't see them staying up if he goes, realistically what do you think they'll do if he stays? IMO it'll be massively hard for Burnley in the Premier League, whether he's there or not. If Burnley are relegation candidates during the whole season then he'll just be a struggling Premier League manager and his stock will fall. Right now he's just won promotion with an unfashionable side and can bask in that. If he could add to that by winning the Scottish league title then he's made massive steps towards becoming a top manager.

I'm reminded a little of Glen Hoddle taking Swindon up and then taking over at Chelsea. Hoddle went on to manage England while Swindon went straight back down. Would Hoddle have been helped by scrapping to keep Swindon in the PL? I don't think so.

Yep. Barca have won it already.

This game is showing that, on their night, Barcelona can be the best team in the world. They are great to watch. Keep it up Barca!

Seems a bit of a kick in the teeth for Burnley, if true. They've barely had chance to enjoy their promotion. The only attraction can be money, surely. As I've said before, the SPL is the most boring two-horse event known to man, and that includes the Boat Race.

Bit of a difference between Celtic and Burnley though ,methinks - If he`s successful at Parkhead he can get a job more or less anywhere - gets relegated after one season at Burnley and he`s back to been waterboy.

It's be a shame if anyone in a white shirt could time a run tonight.

Although in fairness to Barca that's a quality defensive line they've got going.

Don't really see what bringing Berbatov on will achieve to be honest. It's not like he will create many chances.

Carrick needs to seriously improve his passing. That's what he's in there to do but he seems to be panicing in possession.

The big 4 are all on up front but this just has one of those nights written all over it. Barca will hit us on the break eventually
