Wycombe RoyalRoyalee The fact that we have kept Coppell means that we will begin to decline for the time being, which is something I will not support.
So you will only support success? You are the type of supporter that is loathed up and down this country.

Hoop Blah I predicted a stuttering season suffering from a lack of direction and a squad that seems disaffected by relegation, age and the lose of key personel. We'll lack balance, both in the starting eleven and in the squad as a whole.
Coppell will look tired and disinterested at times, the club will pull out the same old PR to try and make it look like we're showing ambition and building for the future and we'll flirt with the playoff's for most of the season before tailing off after the January transfer window closes.
Coppell will leave, possibly before the season ends, and we'll finish somewhere between 7th and 11th without learning anything new about the youngsters and without really having a go in any of the cups.

brendywendy im not sure that judging coppell on one year is the correct way to assess whether he is the best/worst man for the job this season
LOl at royalee for having a fit over one of the more innocuous quotes to come out of the mad stad for a good while.
didnt you say it was pointless to predict so soon mr eyes?

I did.
I'm afraid that we won't do enough - and on the basis of last season, I think that fear is more than justified.

In fairness SC dithered through the whole of last year stating he "was ready for a break" and that he had let his coaches pick the team because he was "out of ideas". He faffed around the transfer issue in August when he knew Little would be out, Seol would be sold and Oster wasn't up to it.
He then faffed around prior to the January window one week saying he had no faith in the squad and wanted to bring in players and then the next saying he had faith again. You didn't need to be a talented football manager to realise we were short on the right wing and in central midfield, but he didn't deal with the problems.
We got relegated last season because Coppell wasn't up to the job. That said we over achieved in previous years so maybe he's the man to see us up next season. However you can't blame a fan for being so disgusted with the way the team is managed that he won't hand over his hard earned cash until the problem he sees is removed. It's personal choice.
Personally I won't let SC's inept management last term stop me from going this year, but then I've always been an optimist!

I support working towards success and not giving up. I perceive the fact that we're not sending any scouts to the Euros and saying that we'll 'react' to any business being done in the transfer market rather than being pro-active as being unambitious and not in the best interests of the club. It is for this reason that I am not going, not because we have dropped down a league - I'd happily have renewed if we were taking the right steps to improve as a club, but unfortunately we are not because we have a wimp at the helm.

I'm not basing my opinion on one year. Coppell has got his transfers right in one transfer window throughout his entire reign, which was the summer of 2005. Pretty much EVERY other transfer window he has underperformed. In 2003/4 we underperformed, as we also did in 2004/5. We also had a weaker team than we went up with in 2006/7 and we underperformed last season. Coppell is still living off one good season within his 4 and a half year reign, but everyone remembers the Championship season and he seems untouchable and unquestionable based on just that, which is nothing short of ridiculous.
As for Coppell learning from his mistakes, I'd be tempted to believe the guy if he hadn't already left the Premiership on his previous two visits two the big league looking like a flop. Old habits die hard and all that I guess. People forget that the guy has managed for around two decades and still hasn't learnt these lessons and still looks dumbstruck at having to deal with challenging characters.
I hope he proves me wrong and he makes the changes needed this pre-season (and there are a LOT to be made), but I just can't see it, which is why a fresh face is needed.

Wycombe Royal I don't understand why you see us having someone attend Euro 2008 as being so important? I would guess they don't really want any more untried forrigners on the books and that they already have their targets sorted. But as I have said countless times before we still don't know who will be leaving and therefore who we need to replace.
Euro 2008 would be a waste of time (and money) for us but for some reason you think it shows a lack of ambition. I have tried to understand but there is just no logic to it. The only thing that seems logical to me is that you go off and support Derby seeing as they are doing such a great job of things.

i see little difference between that, and on the basis of the season before reckoning we'd have enough to stay up last season

Do you genuinely not understand what Coppell was doing when he assembled the Championship winning team ?

Is that why he signed Keown and Ferdinand when he did?
