Talk:Steve Coppell

Untitled
I have removed the reference to the Reading record of 38 games - Reading are only unbeaten in 31 games thus far. HornetMike 22:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Anyone know..
... why Coppell left Man City so soon?
 * The official reason was that he resigned on ill health grounds, but he took the Palace job not long after, and no specific illness was ever cited. Probably only Coppell knows. Oldelpaso 18:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * "...even now I regret that I left them with a hole but I was just the wrong person in the wrong job. Ego made me take it but I soon worked out I'd made a mistake and rather than hang in there and take my money while making a real mess I thought it best to get out quickly." Steve Coppell, quoted in The Guardian on 19 December 2006. --Deadlock 15:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Speculation in a book about Coppell was that he was going through his divorce at the time and it meant spending more time away from his son than he liked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.67.131 (talk) 20:47, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

God award?
Coppell was also awarded the "God Award" by last years winner, and the winner for the last 430 billion years, God himself.

well that definitely wasnt a fan who got carried away! deleted user:Sevenplusone 21:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Pretty amusing though! Shiresman (talk) 17:31, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Furture Plans
"However it is almost certain he will leave after the 2008/09 season as his contract is due to end. He hopes to bounce Reading back up to the premiership before saying his goodbye"

Where's the evidence for this? It's complete speculation, and the footnoted article doesn't support either claim in the slightest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.69.42.155 (talk) 14:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Double wages on move from Tranmere
"His prospective new club instantly offered to double his wage and Coppell signed." This doesn't tell the whole story - I've heard Coppell say his then Tranmere manager told him to tell Tommy Docherty that he was earning £30/wk when he was actually on £10/wk. Docherty then offered him double the £30, so he ended up earning six times as much! Unfortunately this was at a Fans Forum meeting while he was manager at Reading, so there is no available reference. Deadlock (talk) 10:30, 23 September 2010 (UTC) Coppell repeats this story in his autobiography 'Touch And Go'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.67.131 (talk) 20:44, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
