Coppell resigns as Bristol City manager

[TFF]

Makes the board numpties who wanted Steve to replace Nick Hammond as Director of Football look even more stupid than usual.

Exhibit A

He says he still wants " a role in football"..........maybe coming home and taking over as director of football from Hapless Hammond??!!

How did your mate Big Watch Bumper boy do?
You know the one, the revolutionary.

Coppell 0 Millwall 3
Rodgers 4 Preston 0

Should have given him more time.

Millwall 4-0 Hull - So Coppell did better than the relegated Prem club, even when his heart wasn't in the game anymore.

Rodgers league record.

Coppell's worst season with us, where he didn't have a preseason, had very little money and we still spent the vast majority of the time in the top 10.

I think that says rather more about the comparative qualities of the two managers than Bristol losing one game, and Swansea winning one game. As does the fact that Rodgers has spent the grand total of about one season as a football manager whereas Coppell accrued over 1000 games.

Give it up Ian. He's not going to budge.

It's like trying to argue with a woman.
