WhistleHappy Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 There in his capacity as an ex-manager for both clubs - I wonder if we were one of those teams playing tonight -would he have the cheek to do the same? ....:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Interesting who's on the pitch too. Given our striking problems this season, seeing a certain Simon Cox starting in a quarter final makes you wonder about why he never even got a look in here.

BS4 on Tour... Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I still think that some of our problems/issues can be traced back to the day Coppell walked out. But, we need to let it go, it was almost 6 years ago...the guy is a human being, the abuse he has been given over the years by City fans has been well over the top at times. He took a job, he didn't like it, he moved on. Surely lots of people on here have done the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all those top jobs afterwards, too. Director of football at Crawley and um...**** all else. My problem was that he ever took the job in the first place seeing as he showed zero interest in it, not even bothering to start when he was appointed until the following season.

No idea about what or who this post refers to, but if I was involved in something similar I think I'd probably be so ashamed incase the truth ever came to light - I'd leave town and find myself a little island somewhere to live on.

The point is Graham...people fail to remember that SC didn't want this job. A certain person went chasing him and convinced him to do it. He saw what he did at Reading and spoke about Reading FC being the blueprint he wanted to follow. SC explained that he didn't want the job, but would only consider it if he could do it his way with no interference...that was the deal. He still wasn't convinced...but was promised x amount of £'s and told he could do it his way. He said he had prior engagements...but still was told he was wanted and could do it his way. When on board...the reality was far from promised... That Mckinnes article recently was pretty much how it was...under many managers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, for me the man who brought us Nicky Hunt and particularly Damien Stewart can F off as quick as he did decide to with absolutely no complaints from me. He wasn't the only one to 'smell a rat'.

Jack Dawe Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I thought our home support was bad, but **** me, Reading were non-existant. Full house, FA Cup quarter final, in the game past 80 mins, and I think I heard them sing/chant twice.
