2:30 PM PRESS CONFERENCE REGARDING COPPELL'S FUTURE

[Row Z Royal]

It goes without saying that I'm not reading all that, but LOL@calling the press conference when the EP won't even get a later edition out.

[readingbedding]

Would a new manager be happy with a pre-season tour of Sweden?
Wouldn't he have a say in pre-season arrangements?

Coppell's in Thailand, like last year - thinking about the Season ahead...

[Far Canal]

Coppell to see out the remaining 12 months of his contract.
Eamon Dolan to understudy him and take over in 12 months time.

The Madejski way: brick by brick, continuity, economic.

[juanpablo]

this is madness

he is still under contract no need for this bullsh!t hes not even going to be there? wtf


we are out of prem now we can stop this type of bollox

[Platypuss]

At least the new £2m Media Centre will be put to good use.

[Royal Lady]

I do think it's a bit odd that they're having a press conference and Coppell isn't even going to be there. I am, however, keeping everything crossed that he is staying as manager.

[Gordons Cumming]

There is a press conference because of the media speculation.

At 2.30 it will be put to bed.

Coppell is staying.

(also said we wouldn't go down)

I understand that he was asking for directions to the big steward's house. He's carrying a Southampton flag which he intends to plant in the middle of the steward's garden.

Well he stank of whisky and piss, must be Souness.

[FiNeRaIn]

Are RFC fans naturally nervous.
Reading snippets into the BBC website...
Of course Hammond was talking about Relegation!!!

Why can't people see that this is just a Press Conference to confirm that he's staying?

LOL@ you going out to convince people of your opinion. Three posts, all saying the same message in one way or another. Get a grip.

[Cookie]

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

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

I agree with you Ozy. They've invited Sky Sports News. You wouldn't do that to announce news that you'd rather sweep under the carpet.

[Vision]

I did hear that Coppell is moving upstairs.

When in Thailand.....

I guess his taxi was lost then?

Coppell is staying so from the chairman "this is like a new signing and shows our commitment to promotion..........."
Coppell isn't staying and" we will be interviewing from a select list of candidates and will choose a new manager who will be like a new signing and shows..........."
Also from the chairman "My presence today shows my ongoing commitment to the club even though my leg is hurting like f***............."
2-30 p.m. bring it on.
