readingbedding It's not a backtrack, he had no real control over the players he wanted to join, to actually join.
He was looking at players, he didn't say that he signed them.
Once again, the emotional moaners are clutching at straws, any excuse eh.

Try Reading Platy's post above you own, from Coppell himself.
Schards#2 Provided we don't lose anyone, the transfer window will have gone better than I anticipated.
No doubt, once the window's shut we'll start getting vibes about how we're going to strengthen big time in the close season
I don't think the majority of supporters will be very forgiving if we do go down. We clearly have significant funds at our disposal and have chosen not to use them despite every talking about the need to strengthen from August - Decemebr.
cmonurzBlue Blooded As for going with what they have maybe right now there is really little choice. They could keep bidding for players and not getting any joy with contract negotiations. Perhaps it is a pragmatic approach because if they are not going to get the right players - is there any point in risking undermining any of the players we already have?
“Ok, our initial offer is £250 per week, and petrol fully expensed. And a Reading FC Calendar 2007/08.”
Sickboy Quite why Coppell constantly fails to listen to the experts on this board I will never know. Why can't he see that 26 years of management experience means absolutely nothing.....there's people on this board that have been watching football for years and they didn't get where they are today by talking rubbish now did they? Since Coppell joined Reading this club has sadly only gone in one direction and I for one have had enough. Oh how I long for our glory days of the 80's/90's.......where did it all go wrong?

Absolutely spot on.
Once again, can I say 'Does any half decent premiership player who would actually improve our squad actually want to come to Reading and are they available if that is remotely the case'?????????
If they don't want to come to Reading then Coppell can't force then, so does he then go and buy inferior players at inflated prices from championship clubs just to fill the gaps?
I can see how well that would go down on here with the majority of moany posters.

Spot on, I get fed up of the likes of Smoking Kills Dancing Does saying "I was right, Steve Coppell lied etc etc".

You're right Spacey. Coppell never said those things, I just made them up. He never said he'd made a mistake in the summer and would fix it in Jan. He never said time and time again during November and October how important it is to improve the starting 11. He never said we need to buy players to take us to the next level. He never said we need to sign players who improve the 1st 11 rather than players for the squad. He also never said we wouldn't sign anyone from abroad because we couldn't afford to have players taking a month to settle in.
Of course the facts are he said all those things, time and time again.
You must just be a better fan than me.....
