Who will replace Sir Steve?

[CHAPPERS]

Get your filty mits off

 

[eiregull]

if you take coppell then your chairman is clearly a hypocritical bullshitting wanker, like all the rest and you better hope you dont play us again soon, for you have pissed us off enough allready , and you will be struck down by the mighty vengeance of the albion demi-gods.

Hence I really hope (for your sakes) that Coppell isn't the man. I think you're right Eiregull, our club has done enough to piss off Brighton already, surely this would be one step too far?

Not sure about JM being hypocritical though. He said that he would never let a manager go to a club in the same division. And said that if there was a rejection from the club (if a contract clause existed like Pardew's), then he'd do the honourable thing if it was turned down and just left it, unlike West Ham.

Does Coppell have any such clauses in his contract? If he does then all Dick Knight needs to do is say "no" and Coppell will stay at Brighton even if Reading wanted him. Madejski will stick by his principles there.

 

[eiregull]

we will be in the same division next year!!, besides if he makes an approach, we say no, and coppell goes, then its poaching, i wouldt bet hed stay by his word- chairman rarely do.

Yep - as its what Reading fans believe happened to Pardew, though the West Ham argue that Pardew walked, I regard it as poaching and hence you're right, it would be the same.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Don't think Coppell has a clause, i do hope not anyway.

 

[southstander]

Yea an I was speaking to a Reading fan in the know and Coppel isn't even in the top 3 contenders.

Appologies accepted, I told you that this had come from the (JM) horses mouth but was discarded as a Newby -

And now you're going to believe us, and now you're going to believe us, don't discount newby's they may not be what they seem!

A few appologies owed to others like Soton Seagull, Locky Seagullsgonnagetya etc from the like of Brixtaan, Looney and Uranus IMHO
