The Final Countdown

by Royalee » 04 Apr 2009 18:47

Thanks for two great years Steve during your reign, it's a shame you didn't have the foresight or energy to fully fulfil the potential that was there in the end but enjoy your upcoming break and you'll be welcome as a guest when a better manager with more drive and energy and willingness to question oneself's ideas comes in this summer and succeeds where you have ultimately failed.

Really, this Friday is make or break. Win and it could (should) provide the platform. Lose and it's season over. Draw and it's plays-offs.

3 wins and Porto are European Champions, doesn't mean they'll do it though.

Coppell is one of the shrewdest and best managers out there. He did not win the PMA League Manager of the year award twice since he has been with us for nothing ffs!

If you actually think about it, we have been punching well above our weight for some time now. With our club being run, at least financially, very well, who on earth could have done more with the budget he has been given?

The simple and one that is the truth is nobody.

Get over your delusions of grandeur, we have been spoilt over the last few years and that is purely down to one man, that being the Legend that is Steve Coppell.

Reading' season has hit the buffers for the following reasons -

1. No outright leader on the pitch in the absnce of Murty
2. The injury to Ingimarsson
3. The pay rise given to Hunt in January Transfer Window
4. Coppells inability to select a consistent and effective midfield pairing
5. The lack of vision in recruiting a suitable replacement for Sidwell


and more recently I dont think Kitson and Little coming back has helped the team squad dynamics

Please explain to me what's shrewd about failing to strengthen your squad when it's underperforming and failing to learn from mistakes year on year? People like you need to get over the fact that the club's no longer 'Little Old Reading', we have the base and resources at our disposal to establish ourselves in the Premiership. And for the last time, Coppell's ALWAYS said he has money required to strengthen but underlined his desire to CHOOSE not to strengthen.

All of that aside, he picks the wrong team week in, week out and neglects the stronger players in our squad, particularly if youth is on their side and is fundamentally scared of change.

My brother in law said at the game today that Kitson and Little are the new Keown and Ferdinand.

Go and watch Aldershot if you want to support a small club going nowhere.
