Coyle: Clarets are in the clear
The Premier League newcomers posted an unsuccessful £1.5million bid, plus add-ons, for Tudgay - who is out of contract next year.
Wednesday chairman Lee Strafford, however, has accused Burnley of "underhand and disrespectful" tactics.
Coyle, who on Wednesday paraded new signings Richard Eckersley and Brian Easton, believes the attack is unjustified.
He responded: "What Sheffield Wednesday say is entirely up to them. I am not going to get caught up in anything negative about their club. They are a fantastic club, steeped in history and tradition.
"We made an offer of £1.5 million, plus add-ons, for Marcus Tudgay. That was inviting - it was rejected.
"At no time have we looked to unsettle the player. We made what we thought was a fair offer for a player who has only a year to go on his contract.
"It was turned down - Sheffield Wednesday felt fit to do that. I have no problem with that. If they want to say anything to besmirch the good name of Burnley that is entirely up to them."
Coyle added: "I am not going to get caught up in tit for tat. We know how we work. I have never had a problem with anyone else."
