October 1st

December 37th 1066

mining the depths of pointless threads and continuing to dig.....

The amount of people who keep moaning about pointless & repetitive threads & in doing so bring them back to the top of the board.....

OK, I'll have a spin. How about August 1st?

When we reach the Premiership and lose our opening 5 games. Either that or when we are too close to the relegation zone (won't happen! believe me!)

june 12th 2006

Please now! Can't sign a named player to save his life, couldnt even sign Powell. Damaged all the enthusiasm of the club and damaged the half decent football we used to play. Added to this players have lost confidence- Harper, Murty, etc

Be quiet and have some optimism! The season hasn't even started and some of you guys are moaning about him!

AND THERE'S STILL A FREAKING MONTH TILL THE SEASON STARTS SO HOW DO YOU KNOW COPPELL HASN'T GOT ANYONE LINED UP?!??!?

ALL YOU MOANERS CAN JUST OXF*RD OFF AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED!

That doesn't mean he won't buy excellent players! How do you know he hasn't got Lita lined up or Aliaderie (spelling?) coming on loan to Reading? There's still a month to go before the start of the season people! Give him a little more time!

because alladiere signed for celtic today on loan, and lita said he's not going anywhere? do you keep upto date on news?

Because Lita said he wants to stay at Bristol City, and Aliaderie is on loan at Celtic. Coppell just can't attract bigger name players to the club like Pardew could. Pardew's era was about ambition and success, whereas Coppell's is about doing things on the cheap, and maintaining where we are.

Ok then just replace those names with people like Owusu-Abeyie from Arsenal and Chopra

Yes and they are great players with loadsa experience arent they! We just have to face the fact that we cant sign players who have been there and done it before (except les and martin), Coppell is struggling to sign quality players who are leagues lower than us. No one put in a bid for Parkin until recently, we couldve snapped him up at least a month ago.

Yeah, cos Parkin has loadsa experience in the Championship! At least Chopra has been there and done it before in the old division 1 with Watford, maybe Owusu-Abeyie could help. Surely you get the point by now! There's a month till the league starts and we still have a possibility of signing good players, but all you lot seem to be obsessed that we have only signed 3 players so far! What happens if they become bargains of the season?! At least have some optimism in the team we have at the moment!

agreed, coppell is crap in the transfer market and can't attract players! as soon as we get rid of him and bring in a lively goood motivational manager the better. The club is boring me to death at the moment and so is coppell.

Which "big name" players did Pardew attract to us since we've been in the Championship (which is the only fair comparison to make)?

Goater?
Murray?

Struggling now. Care to help out?

What we could do in "League 1" a few years back is wholly irrelevant now. We were small fish in a big pond then, but now we're relative small fry in with the big boys.

Year 2025 Top man that Coppell and all he created at Reading.

25th May 2011, after our 2nd Champions League win in a row. When interviewed afterwards he says: "Yeah, y'know 3 in a row would've been nice, but I think it's time to give someone else a go now..."

After the way he walked out on Man City after just 33 days in charge; I'm suprised he's lasted this long and have to say that if were to walk out on us tomorrow it would have come about 18 months too late for my liking.

He just signed an extension to his contract. He won't be sacked and he won't walk. And exactly WHO is there who is free to take over from him, should he go anyway? Better the devil you know sometimes.

Very true. Madejski wouldn't want to "poach" a manager from another club so to speak after the whole Pardew affair.

I really cant believe this.. Im gonna have a moan now... how can you lot do a syndicate when the season has not even started? its all a bit stupid dont you think.. bloody 'ave faith the lot of ya

Luke Chadwick
Matthew Upson
Steve Sidwell was building a name for himself at this level and that was an ambitious signing.

good reply

Sadly doing things on the cheap is likely to mean we won't stay where we are.
