no, shouldnt think so, Virgs was 19 when that happened, he has grown up a lot since then,
whether he rates him now or not, is open to question

T'was indeed Coppell who shipped out Virgo. However, that was a long time ago and Virgo wasn't really going to play much of a roll at 18, when we had other more experienced options in the form of Blackwell, Cullip and Ingimarrsson.
Not many of the Wilkins babes got a game that season. We might have stayed up if he had used Chris McPhee.

Virgo is trying to neutralise his comments made in regard to SC after MM resurrected his career. Personally I think Virgs has come across poorly in his comments to the press and let his manager down, both as an individual player and as captain. Maybe having a point to prove will revitalise him.

I'm sure Coppell will give Virgo the benefit of the doubt.

It's not unusual for an 18 year old to be farmed out to a club in lower league. I cant understand why Virgo is currently no1 scapegoat on here after all he's not the only one having a shit season is he?

Virgo is being made the scapegoat on here because too many posters think that an articulate and sometimes amusing, man ( Slade) makes a very good manager........which he obviously was not.

It's not just Virgs to be fair. If you are measuring shitness in terms of perceived effort on the pitch and the sheer level of bufoonish mistakes I suppose you could add at least Elphick and Murray to the list of scapegoats. Have these 3 played anywhere near the standard we know they are capable of? Did the management team suddenly forget how to instill some basic tactics and dicipline into the side? For me Slade has been short changed but something's not been quite right for a while now and Bloom had to act.

There may be many reasons behind the scenes as to why we have been shit this year and we will probably never know the half of it but for the money spent Slades record is appalling,So there was only ever going to be one person carrying the can

I see what you've done there Easy, but I think you'll find that if there's any benefitting or doubting to be done - young Adam is THE MAN.
The whole "coppell shipped Virgo out" has often been used as a negative for him, but perhaps Virgo benefitted, perhaps coppell was right to send him out and it helped Virgo develop into a £1.5 million celtic player, and Virgo should be grateful.
