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.

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.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Case_f · Posted

      My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Legend20 · Posted

      The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
