go on then check.
1 - Man City
2 - Bristol
Possibly 3 - Reading, although sure he did state taken them as far as possible.
No idea what went on at Palace but think he relieved of his duties more than once

Funny you should say that. I was thinking about a colour for his world too, but it was more of a Shit Brown really.

Reading he resigned from after two or three years though, when they'd just been relegated. Most managers would have done the same. Hardly the same as quitting a job after only a few days or weeks.
It's stupid rants like these that make you among the least respected posters on here. Coppell is a complex character, who you've reduced to a characature that even the Daily Star would be embarrassed about.

Why does he keep going back if he can't, for some reason, hack it. And let's face it they were hardly the biggest jobs in football that he walked away from............. Us, Palace, Reading, Bristol city

Have you considered that he is so good that clubs didn't sack him, even after a bad season and that he didn't think he could do any more for these clubs, so resigned? I accept the two City's are blemishes on his cv, but his overall record is excellent. The fact that fans from most of the clubs he's managed still respect him speaks volumes imo.
An honourable man imo who was arguably the best manager that this club has had since I started watching them in 1975

This is genius. Have you considered a career in gutter journalism, Badger?

Quite. Even though he's Mr Palace, he's still widely respected by Brighton fans. Now that tells you something about the bloke.

Pretty sure Brentford, Reading & one of the Palace one's he was out of contract anyway. Not the same as resigning. As for us, as Edna said originally, left for another job.
I think that's right. Of more relevance perhaps is the number of times he's been sacked - maybe only once at Palace?? - which over the length of his career is a remarkably good record.
All the best to him, hope it's not some serious health issue which has caused this.

What utter nonsence. Sorry but l loved Stevie Coppell, by far and away the most technically gifted manager we've ever had at the club in my time supporting them.
Yes, obviously it is a shame he has left Bristol City in the lurch so to speak, and we will probably never know the exact reasons why, but l for one think he will be a great loss to football.

My feelings exactly.
Sad to see Coppell go. As others have said a great manager, but Bristol City fans are the biggest bunch of wingers and moaners in the land who think that they have a god given right to be in the Prem. They didn't deserve Coppell, that the club looks stupid now is a great laigh and will provide some solace for the Gas after they got stuffed by Poxford the other night.
As for boardroom politics at City - I don't think so. Steve Lansdown owns the club, runs the club, funds the club. What he says goes. What may have changed since SC was appointed is that Sainsbury's have had planning permission turned down for Ashton Gate, so a new ground looks some way off - sounds familiar ?
