Agree with a previous post - the "McGhee staying" headline does come to mind.

[LoyalRoyal22]

Well done everyone. looks like hes staying.

[sam1]

Excellent work all of you.

He has been staggered by the response of the Town from the Chairman all the way down to the fans.
He may decide to stay.
He was gone on Sunday evening.

Anyone would be raised up by the vast majority wanting him to stay.
He is the best manager we've ever had, why wouldn't we want to keep him?

McGhee was tapped up, Coppell is tired, but with responses like this, it gives you energy to continue.

Mos def.

fook

me and crossie spotted a "typo" on a sign

"coppell are god"

Was gonna give it the old "our, Yours Herr Lipp" but i think it wouldve been frowned upon.

And,


Hear hear!

it was "Coppell Is Are King"

Whoever did that is lucky i didn't catch them

It was a couple of kids aged about 8 - and they'd obviously put so much effort into the sign I didn't have the heart to tell them.

On the other hand, if it was a less/fewer confusion....

Great effort at such short notice.

He’s staying!
By Nick Ive

Fan power looks as though it has persuaded Steve Coppell to stay on as Reading Football Club manager.

The boss is taking a few days to decide his future following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.

But he has been touched by the loyal Royals’ “unique” supporters and dropped the strongest hint yet that he will be at the helm next season to try to mastermind Reading’s promotion back to the top flight.

Fans even set up a “Save Our Steve” group on networking site Facebook and scores of people turned up at the boss’s car park space outside the stadium yesterday to show their support.

The backing of Royals’ supporters has had a big impact on Coppell. He told the Post: “I was touched by the reception I had after the Derby game on Sunday.

“That wouldn’t have happened at any other club. They are unique and their response does have a bearing on my future.”

When told of the Facebook campaign Coppell joked: “Just as well it isn’t p***ing it down because there wouldn’t have been many there and I hope they know I drive a small car so they won’t fit many people in there!

“I can’t be there because my son is doing his GCSEs and I’m having dinner with him, but it is a lovely thought and sums up Reading fans.”

There isn't much in there that leads me to think Coppell is staying.

It sounds more like he's a had a breif phone call with Ive, made a typical Coppell throw away gag about the demo last night and thats about it. All the other quotes are ones from the Derby match.

Knowing what will sell the papers this morning Ive sells it as all as a "Fans Influence Coppell - He's Staying" story.

Just caught the report on SSN. Pretty rubbish really, but i've got a bad quality recording of it.

[willz_royal]

crap. Sprinted across my landing when i heard "reading fans" on SSN, whacked my ankle on my door frame, tripped, and landed head first, only to see a 10 second clip of a poster

Agreed, I didn't read anything along the lines of:

"I couldn't leave a bunch of fans who are so loyal" or "Now I know there is so much support for me I feel confident to stay and have a go at taking this club back up".

He just said he was touched. No doubt if he does resign he will once again say some very nice things about us. Saying that, yesterday in my view wasn't an attempt to force him to stay, it was letting him know that despite this last season he still has our support, so if that message has got through to him mission accomplished I guess.

Did the Ward Manager pull a sickie though? Think of the blackmail opportunities as well as the holier-than-thou mileage you can get from it.
