F*ck (Albion press conference at Noon)

[Marc]

Its a shame but the Coppell-VD song will come back, even though he has done soooooooo well for us in his short time here.

of course all those people who said "I've always hated Coppell since he came here" Support whoever is in charge of your team...MORONS!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

When are Reading next at home? If we're away that day, I suggest we all take a trip to the Madjeski (spit) stadium and spend a few hours hurling abuse at their players and him in particular. And maybe Coppell too, he's a great manager but I can't even begin to express how gutted I feel right now.

YET AGAIN.

 

[Mustela Furo]

So is there an Albion press conference or not?

There is a press conference every Thursday at the training ground so that part (at least) is factually correct.

I haven't heard of a second one being organised

 

[Yorkie]

The other difference was that West Ham and Reading were in the same division and promotion rivals (at the time)

Unfortunately for us we are lower down than Reading so not the same scenario.

Anyone getting deja vu from the 2001/02 championship season?

We were right up there and MA left in October.......

 

[CHAPPERS]

Listen to jonnyboylennon.

I'm up for that edna, f*** Reading i'm gonna take their f***ing message boards down later. Wankers.




(apart from Wilts, he seems like a nice chap)

 

[Gritt23]

This looks very ominous.

If I hear Reading are making a statement at 12 as well, then it's happening. Otherwise, I would be surprised that it gets announced this way round. We didn't call the press conference over Adams did we? I thought we knew when Leicester announced it.

Was it the same with Horton?

 

[Artois]

In todays Argus:

"This would not be an issue if the stadium were resolved"

f***ing NIMBY scum.



Come on Steve, wait a few months.......

 

[tinx]

If Coppell leaves us now he will not be rememeber as a manager who acheived anytihng for the club but he will be remeber as a bloke who f***ed off and left us in the lerch. I perosnally will think of him as a total **** if he leaves. No heros welcome like Micky gets, I'll boo him next time he comes to us. Not that it bothers him what I do but I'm sure that I won't be the only one

 

[Wilts]

DK is persuading him to stay. Don't give up hope yet FFS! We don't tend to offer that much cash to new managers and he may not want the high pressure of the job, which the management have described as "getting to the Premiership, and then staying there", which is hardly easy. If the transfer funds aren't great, then there's not a chance he'll go.

Similarly, if DK offers him loads of money out of his back pocket to stay rather than move on, and says "look, here's £2m, just buy some new players" etc... then there is a chance.

Have faith... getting the Reading job is not the plush job that the media make it out to be. Pardew was known to be unhappy with how much he got paid, and how much transfer budget he was given. Madejski is a tight bastard...

That calms me down slightly.

In your honest opinion RLZ, should we be woriied?

Thanks for making me smile Wilts !

 

[perth seagull]

I'm sick of this shit. The excuse of the stadium is a weak one by Coppell. Isn't the stadium supposed to be approved in October? What the f*** is going on with this? It isn't very long to wait and see what happens and then decide to f*** off to Reading. Coppell is a great manager, but I think he is as good as gone. Reading are the new scum.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

High pressure, yeah, cos Reading are such a massive club, in a football cr-azy town...

 

[Wilts]

It is a football crazy town, just that most of them don't support Reading

If that's all it is then I will be very happy.

 

[Mustela Furo]

In your honest opinion RLZ, should we be woriied?

Worried Yes - panic-stricken No

and I honestly don't know what the situation is at this moment in time

I don't know if Coppell has spoken to Reading (if he has it can only have been yesterday, which was the team's day off - and not before)

I do know that the DK quote in the Argus about not stopping him if he wanted to would be true - that's DK's policy - he doesn't believe in keeping people against their will - for a whole host of reasons

 

[Gotsmanov]

Reading have just announced that they won't be appointing a manager this week; Dick Knighht has also just announced that SC spoke to Reading again yesterday, and that he was now trying to persuade Coppell to stay.

All according to Sky Sports News, 10.30 am

 

[Marc]

on the official site now too as Wilts pointed out in another thread, SC spoke to them yesterday, DK doing his best

 

[Bozza]

I don't know if Coppell has spoken to Reading (if he has it can only have been yesterday, which was the team's day off - and not before)

The official site states he has spoken with Reading.

 

[Gritt23]

Thanks RLZ, that seems reasonable.

If he has only spoken to them yesterday, I'd be surprised if he was ready to jump immediately. Look how long he took to sign his contract in the summer, and it's not as if contracts are binding in football. SC doesn't strike me as a man who make snap decisions, he would ponder it for a while.

Yes, he may be the guy who goes to Reading eventually, but I'm starting to think that 12 noon will pass without anything happening.
