Former Bolton Wanderers midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker admits he felt sorry for old boss Owen Coyle and believes he was in a difficult position.
Reo-Coker spent the 2011/12 season at the Whites as they were relegated out of the Premier League. He scored three goals in 43 games that campaign.
The midfielder departed the club at the conclusion of the campaign as Bolton dropped into the Championship. He later became one of 15 players to depart the Whites as the club ended an 11 year stay in the top flight.
