I honestly dont think the burnley board even considered gambling with the money they got, to stay up. They would of expected coyle to stay a full term and try and keep them up maybe with the addition of a few players in the window. The money that burnley have gained was imo earmarked for re-development and re-introduction of a reserve team and a youth development centre
