iggy Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Steve Coppell has quit Reading after their 2-0 defeat to Burnley. When the going gets tough, the Coppell gets going He wanted go when Reading went down from the Prem but Madjeski persuaded him to stay on, not the first (or probably last) time that he has quit a club.....

jamiemaher85 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 He's still done a good job there and I would not blame him at all for leaving. He has done all he can at the club, and he is still Reading's most succesful manager. He was also the 5th longest serving manager in English football. I can't see him having any great success anywhere else now though, I think that Reading was a good fit for him and he entered the club with little pressure and not really a great name or reputation within managment so there was little pressure on him. Who do people think will take over at Reading now? Also, congrats to Burnley. I have alot or respect for Owen Coyle. Great manager. Two cracking goals last night from Burnley as well.

Yeah well done to them, unlucky not to be in the Carling Cup final, good luck to them against Sheffield United. Another factor of them being promoted would be the headache it would cause the kit manufactorers of Villa, West Ham and them... The same jersey x3, and not even an away strip was good enough for the ref this season when Villa played West Ham..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I hope Burnley come up so we can nick Naughton off Sheffield United to replace Hibbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 'Mike Dean has been named as the referee for the Coca-Cola Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley.' I'm not really bothered who gets promoted to be honest. It would be better if Sheffield United got back into the Premiership I guess but even though they had this whole Tevez saga I always think to myself, if they would have actually played good football they woulden't have been in that kinda' mess. Burnley looked good this year in the lower league and could do a Hull next season methinks. We'll see what happens at the final. Should a good contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 fuckin' typical <_< Sorry you never made it mate, my money is on Burnley and all their old players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry you never made it mate, my money is on Burnley and all their old players The most annoying part is that if the 6-0 hammering at Preston was a 5-0....we would have made the play offs Well we'll lose a few players, gain a few pounds and try a half-arsed attempt to get up again next year.... And although like my dad before a bottle of brandy getting up seems like an impossible task, I'm sure if Newcastle and Borough get relegated getting up will be like my dad after a bottle of brandy.....automatic <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 The play-off comes to a close today with Burnely against Sheffield. It's going to be a 33 year wait that Burnely are hoping to break as they make a return whereas Sheffield are hoping to bounce back after they were sent down not long ago. With the Tevez-saga sorted they will be relishing the fact that Premier League is back on the cards.

MikeO Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks for the updates dark mate . Burnley join the party. Harsh on United but I'm pleased to see a new team come and have a go. They've had a great season, good luck to them!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks for the updates dark mate . Burnley join the party. Harsh on United but I'm pleased to see a new team come and have a go. They've had a great season, good luck to them!. That's a bit of a surprise! Good luck to them, though. Will be interesting to see how they do. On a side note, does it seem to anyone else like the EPL is becoming more and more concentrated in certain parts of the country every year? With Burnley going up, that means next year 17 of the 20 clubs are going to be based either in Greater London, Greater Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire, or the West Midlands. The Sunderland, Hull, and Portsmouth fans are going to be logging a ton of miles if they plan to travel with their teams next season.

Jimmy the blue Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 made up for burnley, a proper football club! Spot on Steve, town has a population 65,000 and 'the moor'used to fit half of them in for matches, nice folk as well. I can't wait for the old rivalry with Blackburn to resurface, that was always one hell of a derby they really hate each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 This is the right way for Burnley if they want to have any success in the Premiership. Burnley chairman Barry Kilby has revealed in-demand manager Owen Coyle is "very close" to signing a two-year extension to his current contract.
