Anyway.....back to the topic - Coppell.
Great game on Saturday. Very encouraging. But having now caught up with the TV coverage, it was great to see Coppell in the studio, so full of good sense, relaxed, gracious, good-humoured and constructive. It really made me appreciate what we are missing.
I don't expect for a minute he would come back, and I don't expect he has a magic wand even if he did. But frankly, if we could get him or someone anywhere near as good as him, as our next manager, we ought to be prepared to crawl on our knees over broken glass.
Anyone who cannot see what a fantastic job he did here seriously needs to look at themselves. Comments along the lines of 'Oh sure he got us to the Premier League in style but then messed it all up' are ludicrous. For Christ's sake, he left in disappointment when we only finished 4th! If only we could hope to have that kind of mess to look forwrad ot this season!
