“I was at Bolton when [Owen Coyle] was a player and his enthusiasm is tremendous but this is a new crisis, it is a little bit of a crisis, but in management you have to deal with it. Whatever is thrown at you, you have to deal with it in the best possible way.
“The one thing in [Bolton’s] favour is that, I believe, the supporters haven’t turned. They’ve had a very disappointing season but if you look at some of the other clubs, especially Blackburn, supporters have turned [against the club] and that doesn’t help the players.
“The crowd are right behind them and they feel they have a good chance of escaping but it’s a tall order. There are a lot of clubs in that battle for survival and I use the word survival because that’s what it is, it means such a lot.
“I think credit to Owen, he’s kept going, kept positive and he’s continued to try to play in the right manner that he has done since he’s been at Bolton.
“The players are behind him which is another good thing. It’s a new experience for him but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he will come through and the club will survive.”
