southvillekiddy Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 9 minutes ago, Robbored said: SL freely admits that he’s no football export and I know 100% that he was not involved in Coppell resignation.That was down entirely to Coppell realising that he’d fallen out of love with football. No doubt it was as much a surprise to SL as was to all of us. Why some fans think that SL ‘interferes’ with the squad is quite simply laughable and never ask why SL employs the experienced people he does in MA and LJ. You are being evasive. It's obvious why Coppel resigned, we all know why - SL insisted on getting James without Coppel's agreement. What would you expect Coppel to do in that situation Ask the Chairman of St Johnstone FC. if SL was interferring during the negotiations to get Derek McInnes. With all due respect to Keith Dawe, he was SLs puppet during this time.. SL was interfering when he was supposed to have retired as Chairman. I repeat, if SL has changed I am delighted. It's all I ever wanted. I didn't want him ever to go, just to realise what he is and isn't good at regarding BCFC. SL doesn't need you to re-write events.

Gustav Engvall. 1.6 million. Taylor Moore. 1.5 million. Marley Watkins. 1 million. Liam Walsh. 1 million. LEE, IF YOU HAVE PAID 8 MILLION EUROS/7 MILLION QUID FOR THIS GUY, YOU HAVE TO PLAY HIM REGULARLY IN THE FIRST TEAM. Lee, ignore this. Pick the best 11 to win the game based on ability, form and tactics. Not how much you paid for them. Oh, and well done on transfer dealings that have brought about five consecutive seasons of improvement without risking the club’s financial security.

He recognised that he wasn't a footballing person and that he needed to step away and employ footballing people to run the club and know one can argue that since he stepped away we have gone from strength to strength and that was the best decision he ever made.

It’s not “obvious” at all why Coppell resigned and we don’t “all know why” he left. You are speculating and claiming to speak for everyone. We don’t know the details behind his departure. If he left simply because of a disagreement over a transfer, why did he retire from football altogether (at the time)? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/aug/12/steve-coppell-resigns-bristol-city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just let it wash over you and don’t give him the bites he craves! I don’t agree with his point but there may well be a more serious school of thought regards his overall premise that it is a lot of money for a kid with so few appearances. I’d imagine that 99.9% of the posters on here have never been heard of him before last night so 8 million is a lot of dough on what is still a punt whichever way you look at it. . Personally think it’s a punt worth taking if City believe him to be that good. But a punt nonetheless. We all have our moments (Me as much as most ) but this particular posters posts are just permanently ridiculous idiotic rants mate Add to a strong suspicion about his user name and he’s either a SAG Or a complete bell end I suspect the former , and is he’s justa SAG , certainly not good enough reason to get rid IMHO But a SAG who is only on here to be a complete **** ???

Szmodics Palmer Nketiah Who finishes higher than this team? Get those 2 or 3 more in after this guy and we will be unstoppable. Probably have the money left to do it. If we can't get Nketiah then I'm hoping we have another big french prospect lined up. Not much left in this country up top that is realistic and is better than Fam. Nketiah though really would be perfect and compliment all our busy bees. Think this is basically the team, with Pack, Paterson, Weimann rotating through the high workload positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not the wonderkid people are hyping him up to be, OTIB will destroy him and the LJ/MA haters will have a field day. For some on here, there's no concept of allowing a new player (especially an 18 year old) to settle in to a new country, city and team! That's why Kalifa Cisse is here .

Any transfer is a gamble to some degree And he’s (Just) turned 18, lots of potential , but so have dozens of players over the years whose careers wilted €8 million is a massive fee for us , and a big chunk of our budget (I’m not criticising , merely explaining) Exciting , intriguing .................but a ‘gamble’ (Of sorts) for sure !

Surely no-one could say this isn't a risky signing? Pretty much a record fee (matching Kalas) , only played a few first team games in a totally different football environment. Plenty of U18 internationals fail to make it in men's football. If Chelsea bought him it would be no big deal. For us it would represent a big gamble due to the size of the fee and what we could have bought if we'd gone for someone who'd already done it in the championship.
