Cosmic Football - Owen Coyle
Burnley manager Owen Coyle is the subject of Cosmic Football's
astrological profile this month.
Owen Coyle has his Sun in the sign of Cancer, which makes him
an intuitive and thoughtful individual. With as many as 5 planets
in water signs in Coyle's chart, I would think the Burnley
manager is pretty open minded and won't be afraid to change
his tactics, formation or personnel in the forthcoming season, if
he thinks it will suit his club.
The big question is, will Coyle's approach succeed in the
Premier League?
There are as many as nine 'Saturn hits' in his chart
throughout 2009/2010. A Saturn hit is when an individual's
transiting planets collide with natal planets. This will almost
always result in that person being put under extreme pressure during
this period, with success difficult to achieve throughout this period.
It's an obvious thing to say, but Burnley won't find
life easy in the Premiership and what I can see from Coyle's
chart is that the opening stage of the campaign will be especially
challenging.
Saturn is the great teacher and one thing that will certainly
happen in the opening months of the season is that Coyle will learn
a lot about himself and his team. With a number of cardinal signs
in his chart, the Burnley manager will at least have the strength
and ability to learn quickly. The key message is not to write Burnley
off no matter how poorly they may start the season.
What is interesting about Coyle's chart is the individual
road he may go on throughout the season. Saturn is conjunct his
Uranus in 2009/2010, which is representative of powerful forces
of change colliding with internal resistance. What immediately springs
to mind here, is whether Coyle may have a strong disagreement with
his board or a key player over the next twelve months. One may also
wonder whether he was in fact close to getting the Celtic job, but
for Burnley blocking the Scottish team's efforts to speak
to Coyle. If the later is the case, the manager may hold that against
the Turf Moor outfit.
Saturn's position in Coyle's chart raises the possibility
of him making a major decision that is a surprise to other people.
I have an intuitive feeling that he will leave Burnley Football
Club around January 2010, possibly to move to a bigger and better
job. There are indications in Coyle's chart that despite his
success over the last few years, he has been considering his future
for sometime.
What is definitely coming into his life is a new opportunity.
While may perceive that to simply be the chance to manage in a new
league I see something more specific – a new job and maybe
even a new business or relationship opportunity.
Money is going to prove a massive frustration for Coyle in the
next twelve months. A key theme of his chart over the season is
financial restriction. I think he will know at this current time
the players he will want to bring to Burnley. But I think that transfer
budget and wages will be a huge obstacle in attracting players to
Turf Moor.
I see Burnley making a valiant effort to stay in the Premiership,
but I don't think they will have quite enough quality to do
so. The lack of clarity of over Own Coyle's future and the
poor start I see them making to the season will be the club's
major downfall. However, this isn't necessarily going to be
a negative season for Coyle. If he's still the manager of
Burnley come the end of the season, which I seriously doubt, he
will be better placed than the club to go on to bigger things.
