They are not gonna tease a press conference to say he's leaving.

He'll stay, if he was off they'd just say it.

Not sure they'd hold a press conf to say he's gone.

That'd be a statement by the club after a meeting.

Must admit, my feeling's the opposite - why call a press conference just to say nothing's changed?

I guess I'm just being pessimistic.

'greed

Unless they are sacking Coppell they wouldn't call a press conference to say he's quit

they would not call a press conference to say he's going, thats not Readings style. They call press conferences for good news, like the long awaited press call for the signing of Jamaican international Omar Daley

Even JM isn't silly enough to build up expectations of him staying by announcing a press conference and then telling us all he's quit.

The clubs PR is shite, but no that shite.

Why not? Whatever the decision the fans and the media have made this into a pretty big deal. I can see it going either way. Do you think Radio Berkshire will have coverage?

I'd imagine it'll be on Sky Sports News... But then we are a Championship club now so you never know.

They'll announce Coppell has gone on holiday and will give his answer on his return. Oh and can someone clear his car parking space.

There we go, the news of the press conference is running along the breaking news ticker, so I'm sure they'll cover it.

They would just put a press release out on the website if he was quitting - as people have said, when before have they called a press conference to announce bad news? - i bet you any money the news is that Coppell is staying for another year.

Do you think they'll announce anything else? I must admit I thought we'd just have a statement either way, not a full-blown press conference.

Well the back page of the EP this morning confirms he is staying, so I guess that would be an amazing turnaround should he now be leaving.
