OWEN COYLE will meet with Burnley's chairman Barry Kilby to discuss his future after it emerged he has held talks with Bolton over the club's vacant manager's position.

Following the departure of Gary Megson last week, former Bolton player Coyle was favourite to take over at the Reebok Stadium.

For the first time today Burnley officially confirmed that Coyle has held discussions with Bolton.

A statement issued by Burnley read: "We can now confirm that manager Owen Coyle has held discussions with Bolton over the vacant manager's position at the Reebok Stadium.

"Burnley chairman Barry Kilby will now meet with Coyle to discuss his future at Turf Moor.

"This will take place following Coyle's return from Scotland tonight.

Burnley & Coyle mull over future after Bolton approach (BBC Sport)

Burnley will not make an announcement on the future of boss Owen Coyle until late on Tuesday after the Scot held talks with managerless Bolton.

The 43-year-old met Burnley chairman Barry Kilby on Monday night to discuss whether he will complete a move to the Reebok Stadium or remain at Turf Moor.

Bolton are looking for a new manager after sacking Gary Megson last week.

Megson, 50, was axed after a two-and-a-half-year stint in charge, with the club 18th in the Premier League.

If Coyle decides to head for the Reebok, Bolton will be required to pay Burnley compensation in the region of ?3m - as dictated by a clause in the 12-month contract extension he signed in the summer.

A statement from Burnley on Monday said: "Senior Burnley Football Club officials have, on Monday evening, held detailed talks with first team manager Owen Coyle over his future at Turf Moor.

"As a result of these talks over Coyle's future with his current employers, both parties have decided to take a further 24 hours to digest the information shared before making any further announcement.

"There will be no further comment during this time from Burnley Football Club or Owen Coyle."

Having played for Bolton between 1993 and 1995, Coyle would be a popular appointment with fans, who regularly hit out at Megson for what they perceived to be his negative tactics.

Trotters chairman Phil Gartside had Coyle, a former striker, on his shortlist for the Bolton manager's job before he appointed Megson in October 2007 and subsequently recommended him to Lancashire rivals Burnley, where he took over the following month.

During his time at the Clarets, Coyle has revolutionised the club, masterminding their promotion to the top flight for the first time in 33 years.

Despite making a good start to the season, which included a victory over Manchester United, Coyle has voiced frustration at the lack of resources at his disposal in comparison to local rivals such as Bolton.

Liverpool have announced that Tom Hicks Jr, son of co-owner Tom Hicks, has resigned as a director of the club and parent company Kop Holdings.

Hicks Jr stood down in the wake of a row with a supporter, who alleged the American had sent him abusive emails.

His departure has led to a restructuring of the board of both the club and its parent company.

Casey Coffman has replaced Hicks Jr, with Philip Nash and Ian Ayre joining him as directors of both companies.

Coffman is the executive vice-president of Hicks Holdings, Nash is Liverpool's chief financial officer and Ayre is the club's commercial director.

Hicks Jr was seen as a key figure on the Anfield board, comprised of Hicks and his father, co-owner George Gillett and his son Foster and managing director Christian Purslow.

However, Hicks Jr's position came under increasing pressure from supporters' groups as a result of allegations over the weekend regarding his abuse of a fan who had contacted him directly to discuss the state of the club and its finances.

The Spirit of Shankly, a group of fans committed to the removal of Hicks Sr and Gillett, had called for Hicks Jr to resign on Sunday.

They were also critical of the club's hierarchy for remaining silent on the issue.

Co-owners Hicks Sr and Gillett have endured a difficult time at Liverpool since taking over at Anfield in March 2007.

Supporters have regularly voiced their dissatisfaction at the level of debt taken on by the club after the buy-out by the American duo.

Hicks and Gillett have admitted they are keen to attract new investment to the club, with Saudi Royal Prince Faisal reportedly interested in buying a stake.

Their cause has not been helped by a decline in performance on the pitch, with the Reds losing seven league matches already this season, leaving them well off the pace in the title race.

Liverpool failed to reach the last 16 of the Champions League, after finishing third behind Italian's Fiorentina and French side Lyon in Group E.

Manchester United's owners were today revealed to have borrowed millions from the club at favourable rates.

The controversial financing arrangement will anger supporters who have already voiced opposition to the Glazer family's ownership.

The club's financial results revealed yesterday that more than ?20 million had gone in to the personal coffers of the Americans since they took over in 2005. This included ?10 million in "management and administration fees," plus a further ?10 million borrowed by six family members which does not have to be repaid for five years.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
