I too heard on Sunday he was phoning round members of staff to say cheerio..... the source I got it from is as suprised as much as everybody else that he hasn't gone yet....

Surely that dismisses EVERY link..... not just Merson

I don't see it as a risk - I see it as an opportunity.... new, young, inexperienced manager (Adams?) comes in and has the rest of the season to show what he is made of. He has to use all his skills and guile to keep the team at the top as we are skint. If he is a success (not necessarily getting...

They give crack to squirrels.....?!?!? Might have to watch it now!!!

Apologies.... wasn't meant to be a lecture. If this is true then you are correct, but I haven't encountered it being aimed at Brighton players/management. However, I always find it highly amusing when some poor opposition player gets the 'Palace Reject' treatment when he comes on although he...

I read it again and I still cannot work out what this means other than Coppell's Palace connection and the supporters reaction to it had some sway over recent events..... please enlighten me. Also, the bit about critics not knowing where the rivallry came from - are you talking about yourself...

So you think Coppell is leaving because he got a bit of stick?!?! Get a grip.....

Why?? Did you see a cosy future together....?!?!

It is rightly so because you cannot keep a manager, or player, who thinks he would be better off elsewhere.... Madjeski didn't let Pardew speak to WHU, and look where that got him. I applaud Dick Knight for allowing any member of staff the chance to improve themselves......

I don't know or care who is the 'bigger' team, but I do look to Reading (amongst others) for inspiration as to what can be achieved by a club, in footballing terms, with a decent stadium. A proper income means you can sign players, keep players and managers. A stadium means you can fit in...

What law is that?? What the feck are you talking about....?!?!?

Tony Adams for me..... He would get a team that is doing well and have the rest of the season to show he is a good manager when he is working with limited resources. He may make some errors but in our position and with the players we have there is no danger of us being relegated. At the end of...

I had a similar conversation in the boozer yesterday... our conclusion was that he was playing the football needed to get Chelts. out of the Conference and Third Div. More of a concern to us was the fact that he went to Sunderland as number two to Howard Wilkinson......

Yeah, right...... you think we are gonna listen to any old 'newby' with a mere 530 posts?!?!?

Agreed. And also people should get some perspective on all this.... it ain't the end of the world whatever he does.....

You know he is leaving?!?! How....??

What lack of loyalty?? He is just talking to them at the moment... could be that his good manners won't let him turn his back when Reading asked to talk to him. Remember, just before Neon signed for us he went to QPR to see what they were offering - more out of politeness than with any real...

Like Reading said 'no' to Pardew talking to West Ham....??? That put an end to that....

Has Steve Coppell actually left?? I can't find confirmation anywhere that he has yet everybody on here is acting as though he has...... Just because he is talking to Reading doesn't mean jack. Okay, there are somethings that Reading can offer that we can't - a nice, big stadium; good training...

I don't see what Maj has done wrong.... the Pardew situation was that WHU asked to speak to Pardew but Maj refused, because they were their rival's for the 1st Division Championship, then Pardew done one anyway. In this case Maj has asked Knight if he can talk to Coppell and has been given...
