Steve Coppell should stay
I’m going to be working backwards for the time being, leaving things I should have covered weeks ago last (one advantage is that these posts will then appear at the top).
I will begin by saying farewell, Steve Coppell, Reading FC’s managerial magician. I’m not convinced that now is the time to step down, however. All clubs (and fans) suffer the occasional disappointment. At least one more season, I would have thought, as the Royals were so close. Why not? There can’t be that many better managers about.
