Now before I start can I say that this is all just a thought and it is unlikely to happen for many reasons, but...
Imagine you are this supposed backer to a supposed bid for CCFC. (the one Keys cannot talk about, but does).
Imagine Bolton lose to Blackburn tonight.
A very very good manager, especially at Championship level will most likely be looking for a job in 2012. I, as this very rich investor, would suddenly be desperate to get hold of CCFC ASAP and get Owen Coyle in for at least some of January to get a few players.
It would seem this season is almost over but he could give it a real good go, and if he fails he can have one season in League One and then if he wants to leave to get a better job he can.

Great minds - I had this exact thought yesterday! Like you say, unlikely to happen but the first thing any new owner needs to do is make a statement (and I don't mean just talk)!
I would absolutely love to see Owen Coyle as manager. I really rate this guy. However, in my opinion, there is less than no chance of this happening.
We might be interested, but I couldn't see him wanting to drop down.
you know, maybe the reason Andy Thorn is the manager is because no one would come to us now. would you honestly come here if you were Owen Coyle? after seeing other decent managers : coleman, boothroyd, etc not be given funds, not be respected by the fans or the club and sacked way too early? like a rabbit to the jaws of a lion i bet!
