shame, as he actually seems like a decent bloke

[Bootle Buck]

Maybe a year or two away from the game might cheer him up. He always looks so depressed even when he is winning. He seems like a really nice fella and I wish him well. As a kid I always wanted him to come to Liverpool. With Heighway on one wing and Coppell on the other we would have torn everyone apart. It would have been the smartest wing pair ever.

trouble is for him now that the available jobs will likely be at the s****house clubs rather than at the kind of place he should be given a go at.

I thought he is actually a Liverpool supporter!

[Tosh]

He should get a run at a decent club, but won't. Better than Allardicio etc.

 

Not the best news for Reading though

Like Rio Ferdinand and "baby face" Soljkaer

 

they are still all c**** because of who they played for

[R A Softlad]

Coppell for the youth set-up?

Was thinking the same thing. He was a lIverpool fan - he's from the Wirral isn't he?

I think he's a cracking manager. If Newcastle had any sense they'd get him in instead of Shearer. I certainly wouldn't object to him being brought into the fold at Liverpool, and groomed as our manager for the future.

 

Very level headed, and certainly not personally responsible for the kicking The Tog got there in the cup, it's not his style.

 

Reading finished the season with a dreadful run where they just couldn't score at home. Before that they played the best football in the Championship and their goal difference was miles better as they banged them in.

He's 54 years of age. Older than our current manager. I don't thing grooming him for the future is an option really.

I liked the old days when you had to have served the club a long time and were by default 'quite' old when you took over (Paisley, Fagan etc).

 

It's incredible just how wise Rafa is for his relatively young age.
