Wrestlemania to come to Turf Moor?
Burnley manager Owen Coyle entertained English football fans and bemused ignorant Americans in equal measures when he became the subject of a prominent placard at a recent televised wrestling show in the States.
A US-based Clarets fan with a good seat held up a poster proclaiming ‘Owen Coyle is God’ throughout Wrestlemania 25 getting some unexpected TV coverage for Coyle.

[...] on winning promotion to the Premier League. Manager Owen Coyle was recently hailed as being God by a banner at Wrestlemania 25, and he has certainly worked wonders to get the Clarets into the top-flight. And who could forget [...]
the person in question holding the banner was not a us based fan but my 20 year old son jamie who went to texas with his friend….he was wearing his burnley shirt and afterwards somebody swapped his shirt for a houston dynamo shirt for whom the great ade akinbyi had just signr=ed for.
