There is no answer to why Coppell chose not to sign them. Yes there is and he gave them at the fans forum. You may not agree with the answers (and even he may not agree with his decisions now) but he was honest enough to give them. Agreed. I wasn't at the fans forum so dont know what he said but he...

Me and alad amongst a few others moaned about our plastic fans for the last few seasons, you all ridiculed us. Every one of those comments is about how much they hate reading because of it. Its no surprise at all that everyone wanted to see us FAIL. Reading fans are just a bunch of happy clapping, ...

I think SC has done well in the transfer market but I think the problem is the lack of progress. For e.g. look at Wigan all their “Best/Indispensable” players have been bought since they have gone up. IMO all our best players are the players that have played for us for a while. Bikey is probably th...

What about having an intermediate 'beh?' Jury is out is just bollocks. Especially when applied to a player who came, played one or two games, got injured and left. There is no way the jury is out. The jury is back in and saying "well, certainly not a success, M'lud". OK,its not his fault ...

I cannot believe that any fan who has watched the last few seaosn can criticise SC and transfer policies. The vast majority of our buys have been successful. Name the successes since January 2006 and I'll name the failures and point out precisely why you are wrong. Why pick that date? He's been aro...

To be fair to Fae, i probably would have done the same in his situation. He had to sit on the bench during the first part of the season and watch Bryn put in shite performances over and over again, he has a decent ACoN for IC, comes back, looks very sharp according to KD and WD, plays well in the l...

In an ideal World of course its better for a manager to have several meetings with a player and watch them on numerous occasions but its just not possible. Managers/coaches signing players from abroad that they've never met is a lot more prevalent than you seem to think. Regardless though, watching,...

Rosenoir was signed from a team down the road starting regularly in the same divison as Reading. Not really comparable brendy, daft response. Coppell is having trouble with a player he signed despite never seeing play live. Hardly rocket science, is it? Sonko was signed from just down the road .He'...

I'm willing to bet SC's take on this is somewhat different to that being reported by Fae. as it keeps with their view of RFC being nothing more than a bunch of liars and incompetents. Coppell never saw Fae play live (Coppell's admission) and according to the Fae's account, met him only for the firs...

Like to see Doncaster myself. Their chairman is a bit of a character/plonker but have always liked Sean O'Driscoll as a manager and they are the best passing side in the Division..

I'm willing to bet SC's take on this is somewhat different to that being reported by Fae. Absolutely. Fae's "interview" smacks to me of the words of a player's agent desperately trying to ensure his charge doesn't get tarred with the "disruptive foreigner" tag so he can still tr...

“A challenge in England, Germany or wherever would attract me but this time I will not make the mistake not to speak with the coach before I sign.” Assuming that this is based on the truth, I think this is a slightly worrying way of going about things. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I...

It does highlight something thats been mentioned previously in that its Coppell's style to not treat new signings with the reverence they feel they deserve. Clearly the likes of Fae and Halford before him expected to walk into the team and be mollycoddled by the manager. Interesting that the likes o...

They're uttercunts and i sure as shit dont have to wait until 5pm to have that confirmed.
