Filed under 'JUST HOW WRONG CAN ERNEST GET?', Coppell treated Dick Knight and the club like shit. The reason Coppell didn't start the season here was because he consistently missed meetings (meetings Coppell himself called) leaving the club more and more in the lurch. In the end, Dick had to employ SOMEONE. That someone, as you so delicately put it, was Tinselhead who, but for the first two games, was a total disaster.
Little Scouse bastard walked out on us for a big payday in the end anyway.

Alan,you seem to have got the ex-Palarse wankers mixed up.Hinshelwood followed Peter Taylor(ex-Palarse wanker) not Steve Coppell (even more of an ex-Palarse wanker)
Coppout took over after Tinselhead
It appears I misunderstood TLO's post.Yorkie said:Coppell was interviewed in the summer though.
Not sure about any missed meetings as the choice then was the Cameroon manager who turned up at Gatwick and changed his demands leaving DK with an embarassing press conference to try and sort out.
Hinsh stepped into the breach.

looney said:I can remember the PA pulling that kind of crap at Pompey a long time back, 4 days later Chelsea trashed the place after similar treatment. Cant clubs be reported for that these days?

tadley gull said:Reading fans irritate me intensely with their smug, 'large it up' attitude. Royal Ali is typical of their fanbase: if anyone criticises any part of their club they cries 'jealousy.'
My brother and my best mate up here are both staunch Reading fans, and much of the time they do nothing but moan about their players. According to them the jury is still out on Sidwell, Lita isn't much good, nor is Harper, Kitson regularly comes in for stick despite his goals, etc. etc.
Is it any wonder they don't sing at home even when they're 4 goals up?
Madjeski is by his own admission not a football man, but he didn't want to see the town without a football club, and at one stage was bunging 40k a week of his own money into the club to keep them afloat.
They've been lucky in that there is no shortage of brown field sites in the area where the stadium is built. Anyone who knows Reading will know about Whitley: crappy little shithole part slum-part industrial park.
But all that doesn't make them any more than an average club who got lucky. When they've spent time in the Premiership, and I don't mean 1 season with single figure points, been to Wembley for an F.A. Cup Final, and won back to back championships, then they can sneer at us.
Until then they can shut the f*** up.
Read it again. That's what I said.sams dad said:*PEDANT ALERT*
