Sonatine 11542 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Was looking well haggard on the touchline, best to get out before he pops his clogs i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31201 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Announced a while back that he was leaving didn't he? Whether Reading were promoted or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4857 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 not all that shocking, unless he retires can see him getting picked up by a mid table prem team in summer he does look nackered though and looks like he thinks hes left the oven on while watching his team play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Should take some time out. He's been in management since his late 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 He seemed pretty downbeat yesterday before the match, didn't seem confident at all. That saying perhaps a change in management is what Reading need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoggeordie 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Tbf i'm glad Reading aren't coming up. (In the case that we hopefully stay up) I'd rather go to Burnley or Sheff U than Reading for a day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Reading is a SHOCKING away day, having to wait outside the ground for 30 minutes till a bus comes and picks you up and takes you into town? We only found 2 decent pubs there. Sheffield is much much much better. Burnley is something new for us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends wat you are into I guess, we ended up in a bar called the purple turtle, which was a bit emo but open until late and had good music.

Big Onion 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Was watching that game; there was a moment when the camera was on Coppell and he just shrank back into the dugout, hunched up and grim-faced - you could see it was all up with him. One of football's good guys for me and I also really liked him as a player. Take a year out and go dip your toes in a warm sea somewhere Mr Coppell.
