Laws named new Burnley boss

Burnley have named former Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract. The ex-Clarets defender takes over at Turf Moor from Owen Coyle, who left the club for Barclays Premier League rivals Bolton last week. The appointment represents a remarkable transformation of fortunes for the 48-year-old, who was sacked by Championship strugglers Wednesday just last month.
