Owen Coyle set to be appointed at Blackburn – Twitter Reacts

With the news breaking last night that former Bolton Wanderers and Burnley manager Owen Coyle is set to take over the reins at Blackburn Rovers, we look at how fans reacted to the news on Twitter.

Predictably fans mostly reacted badly to this news, with many using the hashtag #VenkysOut that was trending worldwide on Tuesday evening to voice their views:

Some fans turned to humour to make their point about Coyle’s expected appointment:

One theme was clear and was something nearly all fans had in common; they blame Venky’s for making poor decision after poor decision and hold the Rao family directly responsible for the disaster Blackburn Rovers are currently.

One Blackburn fan made a fair point and compared the club’s appointment to other recent appointments in the Championship:

With almost no positive comments from Blackburn fans regarding Coyle’s expected appointment today, it is very predictable what kind of reception the manager will get.  With hardly any players and growing debt, the prospect of more protests from Blackburn fans is looking very likely.
