Coyle tips Clarets for Premier return
olton boss Owen Coyle believes he will follow up tonight's return to Burnley with another one next season - in the Premier League.[LNB] Coyle got the Clarets promoted to the top flight in 2009, but they were relegated after he left the club in January to take over at Wanderers.[LNB]This evening's Carling Cup third round tie between the two sides will be the 44-year-old's first time back to Turf Moor, but Coyle believes Brian Laws will set up another reunion next season.[LNB]"In football, I think we recognise whether it's as players, coaches or managers that you always eventually go back to your former clubs," Coyle said.[LNB]"The cup this year has given me the opportunity to do that, but I fully expected, if we hadn't drawn Burnley in the cup, that we would meet them next year in the Premier League.[LNB]"I believe they are fully equipped to come back into the Premier League with the squad they have and Brian in charge."[LNB]Coyle received a hot reception from the travelling fans when Burnley were beaten at Bolton last season shortly after his move, and he is likely to be in for something similar - if not worse - tonight, but the manager has vowed to try to keep smiling.[LNB]"In the career I've had, I've had many setbacks along the way, so in terms of mental strength, I think I have bounced back a number of times from trials and tribulations" said Coyle.[LNB]"You can't really say what the emotion is going to be until the events transpire.[LNB]"But whatever comes with it, I'll do my best to deal with it, and as always, I'll try to do it with a smile on my face."
