O/T Steve Coppell

Steve Coppell gives an interview in Four Four Two magazine, on the future of English coaching.
Pains me to say that them up the road are mentioned, but not a hint on time spent with the Albion.
I still like the way he got us playing, even though it wasn't for long.

[Gwylan]

So, that's where Aaron Hughes ended up

 

[big nuts]

A fine manager who done very well for us.

 

[wehatepalace]

Does he mention whether he still has vd or if in fact he is illegitimate?

How is getting relegated and then taking the first job he was offered doing very well for us?

Harsh.

Look where we were in November and then the points total we finished on come May. Over the course of the final 6 months we averaged enough points to make the play offs. If memory serves me correct after the opening game under Hinshelwood we didn't win a game until Coppell lead us to a victory at home to Bradford, from there with shrewd signings and excellent tactics we were unfortunate not to escape the drop.

He left us in the automatic promotion slot the next season and let's be honest at the time Reading was far more appetising option than having another 7 seasons on a shoestring at Withdean.

He didn't want to go, but we needed the compensation money urgently, to keep surviving.

You do realise you are opening the door for an Ernest with a Dick Tight reply.

 

[cheshunt seagull]

II thought he performed wonders in his short time with us.

 

[Paskman]

He came down for the demo outside the Labour Conference too - top man

 

[portslade seagull]

A plus during the Withdean years

 

[Triggaaar]

My son's favourite Albion song since he was 3. "What are the words dad?".

 

[ringmerseagulltoo]

I thought he gave the best post match interviews of any manager we have had. Always directly answered the question with a considered and incisive reply. Never resorted to the trite Jingoistic response. Top thinking man for me.

 

[FamilyGuy]

My mate sent him a text pleading with him to take the England job when Alardice got caught out! (SC is a member at his Golf Club)

 

[London Irish]

Yeh I really don't get the regard in which he is held. Nice fella personally I'm sure

One of my very fave Albion managers, and a great loss to the game in my opinion.
