Coppell is set to extend his contract by more than one year

[wolsey]

If Coppell wants the players to sign for longer than 1 year, then he should aswell.

I still don't get the point of this remark. Exactly how many Reading players are refusing to sign for more than one year?

Care to answer?

Take that hook out of your mouth. He is clearly fishing.

[Katie Marsden]

He wants Sidwell to tie himself down yet Coppell is refusing to tie himself down to the club.

Case in point.

He wants Sidwell to tie himself down yet Coppell is refusing to tie himself down to the club.

Case in point.

the two situations are uncomparible, coppell, for very fair reasons, prefers to work with one year contracts. and signs for fair money
sidwell refuses to sign and will hold the the club to randsom, and if he signs, he will sign for more than one eyar and he will be getting paid more than what he is worth.
what coppell wants coppell gets as far as im concerned.

I believe that the current phraseology would be "Whoosh"

There's a clear difference between being a decent wind up merchant and a blatant time waster/ attention seeker. Ms/Miss/Mr Marsden is proving itself to be the latter.

At least the "Harold" incarnation sometimes makes valid points (when he can extract himself from the "Yeah but we won, and we are considerably richer than Yoo" viewpoint)

I never said he was good at it

So you would be happy if Sidwell signed a 1 year contract and all other players refused long term deals in favour of 1 year deals?

Coppell is the manager of the club and should lead by example.

PS, Just because someone doesn't share your view it doesn't mean they don't have a valid point and are fishing.

Ever heard that one about the boy who cried wolf?

It looks sensible, but when you think about it, its not.

Where have the words "Sidwell" and "only wants a one year contract" appeared in the same sentence? Oh I forgot, Sidwell's main concern is that his length of contract should mirror exactly that of his manager.

Meanwhile, back in the real world... what is your interest in Reading FC?

[Katie Marsden]

Can't answer the question I see.

My interest is that Coppell should pledge his future to the club to stave of interest from other clubs and to give players like Sidwell the assurance that he will be here for the foreseeable future.

Well you are wrong on that point because apart from Sidwell (who may leave regardless on whether Coppell signs a 1 or a 7 yr contract) there is no other player that we want to keep who has left in the last few years.

Not even close.

Want to try again?

So Steve Coppell's presence at Reading is likely to be of more impotance that the alleged doubling of wages, European competion, higher profile, enhanced England prospects?

Come back in the summer when the big clubs have flexed their muscles.

The deciding factor for players could well be how long Coppell will remain at the club.

The players are loyal to him, he basically made them. If Coppell is at the club then I can't see the likes of Doyle, Sidwell, Shorey etc leaving. If he leaves then I'd expect the best players to join bigger clubs.

No, you can come back in the Summer to see if your pointless and irrelevant post makes any sense.

If you like.

just because he doesnt sign for more than one year doesnt mean he wont stay for longer than that. in this day and age, a long contact means nothing , cos if a big club wants someone, they will pay the money to get them. a long contract doesnt mean he'll stay longer. shorter contracts are less of a risk for club and manager alike.

We'll see. I'd be worried Coppell is keeping his options open though.

Especially with members of his coaching staff being sacked.
