Brian: The right decision?

[winchester_royal]

^That post would be a lot more pertinent were it not from a man who was consistently abusive of Coppell.

No one was more full of praise for Coppell's 2 best season's than me.......................................but I never thought the sun from his backside and made that perfectly clear after his worst two left us back where he found us.

Less time spent post your own cr@p might help you gain a better understanding of others views

Right...so the 07/08 season, where we finished 18th on goal difference, made your calling for Coppell's head legitimate, but the 19th place we were poisitioned in under BM, way off the pace, led to a 'disgraceful' decision to sack him

Cool.

[Woodcote Royal]

It's not cool, it's just another load of utter bollox

We got relegated under Coppell and he kept his job, which I supported despite being highly critical of the way he had managed that season. Like McDermott, previous success warranted a chance to put things right.

[winchester_royal]

Fair enough, you could argue then that lessons were learnt this time round? How often do clubs bounce straight back up under a manager they were relegated with?

We all recognise the job that Brian did here, and he will always be though of with huge amounts of affection by most if not all, but sacking a manager who is on course to be relegated is not the horrific immoral decision that some are trying to make it out to be.

[Woodcote Royal]

I doubt it.

It's looking increasingly like our new owner made a poorly timed, bad error of judgement, the repercussions of which have only just begun.

[winchester_royal]

Pfffft. You say tomato..

The error was not having the funds in place to buy the club, if we had BM in charge we would be looking at Akpan and Blackman starting week after week, two players that are at least one division above their level according to all match comments so far this season.

For all the stuff that has been posted on HNA? over the years it has been shown that there has never been money to spend on transfers, not for Coppell, not for McD and not for NA either. The accounts show we lose money every season, therefore there was never any real money, though we have a decent enough turnover compared to some others.

Everything we are spending has to come from within no one is pumping money in, not even like JM did with loans.

There's no doubt that Brian could have got the best out of them.

Adkins can only manage if a fortune is spent on players for him.

[Avon Royal]

Yeah, Scunthorpe spent a real fortune for him..........

I doubt it.

Corrected for you

[Woodcote Royal]

Wouldn't argue with that observation.

WR does it again. Transparently disappeared last time we went on a decent run, he doesn't bother posting when we secure a credible draw with QPR, but sure enough turns up again when we take a point at Blackburn.

So far Brian is doing a much better job. Less money, lower wages at Leeds, yet they're still above Reading.

Cool, what's your point?

[No Fixed Abode]

So far it's been the wrong decision to sack Brian. HTH

Yeah, okay, what does that have to do with my post?

Yep, having a life means I tend to ration the time I spend in the presence of Grade A twats discussing the same depressing football and results.

For those who don't reside in Bodkin's backside, QPR was an OK result in a sea of mediocrity from a squad that should be wiping the floor with the likes of Sheffield Wednesday when, in fact, it was they and Peterborough who used us as a mop and bucket

Anyone with more than 3 brain cells could spend their entire day posting about how cr@p we've been this season because the good days have been few and far between but some have better things to do.

You are trying to justify the sacking of Brian, when the facts at present suggest otherwise, HTH.

Fair enough. I fully accept that your busy periods happen to coincide with our better results.

The facts suggest it was the wrong decision, not that it was a horrific immoral decision.
