New Manager On Monday

[AthleticoSpizz]

Steve Coppell

[Alan Partridge]

Aidy Boothroyd

Oh God no!!!!!!

[Millsy]

Yes today was disappointing.

But sorry, anyone who even contemplates the idea of Coppell going is absolutely f*cking pathetic.

Sorry.

We are a small club with plastic fans who don't have the passion that other clubs have (as most are relatively new) and we deserve at best to be a good League 1/poor Championship side with our following/wage structure etc.

Since the arrival of Coppell we've been punching WAY above our weight as a yo-yo club: winning the Championship, two years in the Prem and now on the edge of auto promotion again. He took three different teams to the top flight and he's on the verge of doing it again or soon enough, bad patch or no bad patch.

Anyone who can't see the wood for the trees is in my opinion extremely naive and totally incapable of seeing things for what they are.

The day Coppell goes WILL be the day we will free-fall into a league position we deserve. And I won't be surprised if we'll have to wait another 135 years for top flight footy again. It will be the biggest disaster and one of the saddest events in the history of our club and possibly the history of our town.

It makes me very sad that my fellow fans can be so thick.

Reading till I die.

[Royalee]

We're a small club, blah blah, we'll never do anything.

Why don't fans like you f*ck off and support Wycombe if you're so happy being mediocre to shit. We've proven as a club we can compete in the top flight and if teams like Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton and Boro can establish themselves up there I'm not having the 'be happy where we are, we're a small club' debate. We have a catchment area bigger than most Premiership clubs, so no, we're not always going to be a small club. Coppell, however, will always be a small time manager because he has a mental complex which prevents him from achieving greater things - the man cowered away from Manchester City when they were crap for goodness sake!

[AthleticoSpizz]

Sir Steve took some real big gambles with his team selection today, to shake things up.

The first half performance vindicated it

The second half performance let him down

My own, and only criticism, was the exclusion of Bikey who can replace Doobs and can move up for set pieces or sit nicely in midfield

How the f*ck did it vindicate it?! Were we 1-0 up at half time or did I miss it?

I agree totally.

lol

some on here remember when Wycombe were non-league as well as when Reading finished 8th in the Prem (SC being our manager at the time).

Your preferential manager would be Royalee?

[Royalee]

Martinez, as I must've said a thousand times.

No we weren't, but I heard no complaints as the players trooped off.......I heard only applause

SWANSEA 1 PALACE 3

[Royalee]

Well you're hardly going to boo your players if you're drawing at half time, doesn't mean it confirmed that this was the correct team to pick. I politely clapped Reading off at Anfield last season, doesn't mean we deserved to win the bloody game.

[Royalee]

Martinez, as I must've said a thousand times.

lol

SWANSEA 1 PALACE 3

Yep, but Swansea have come up two divisions in the time it's taken Coppell to move us up one place in the Championship. Let's see how he'd do with our resources you moron.

[The whole year inn]

Aidy Boothroyd

WTF

[howser]

The financial handcuffs that are public knowledge would restrict the list greatly the names that stick out are Curbishley, Ince maybe Sanchez but I have thought for a long time that Glenn Hoddle would be the preferred choice, as he would be comfortable with the restricted spending that the club adhere to, would be good for the younger players as well, who have to be the nucleus of the side of the future.

Might it be that you are suffering from the same disease as the current manager - blind loyalty?

Please dont insult me "Royalee" , calling me a moron is bang out of order,

Back to post

Martinez will be found out very early next season when they have lost one or two of the "stars".

Swansea have dropped their guard since their famous FA Cup exploits and in no way shape or form will survive the play-offs (should they qualify).

Next season they will be fighting for survival, a battle that they may well lose although the cheating spaniard will have long since been sacked.

[Terminal Boardom]

I suggested a few weks back that a shakeup of the backroom staff was needed. I would not be surprised to find out that SSC has "lost" the dressing room along with the respect of the players. It would also not surprise me if he has already handed in his resignation.

As for a replacement, I would setle for Curbishley. Failing that, Mourinho would do for not other reason than to have someone with a bigger ego than JM!

I do not think it is about blind loyalty from fans to SC or SC to plyers. He has achieved a tremendous amount and therefore has earned the right to re-build if he chose to and it appears there are a good number of promising young players coming through (out on loan at the moment) and by sensible player trading he could put tohether a new look team BUT I think it is pretty clear from what he has said that he will resign if we do not go up (which is starting to look increasingly likely) so let us hope JM has as much luck with his next choice ..it is going to be a crucial decision
