Prince Jazzbo Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 So they say......... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2710889/Seagulls-call-Copp.html I'd still like to think that we could overcome the Saints v New manager jinx at this game.

Ahh but don't forget were on Sky as well to jinx in one :mad:
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Don't think he would go in a month of Sundays. I wouldn't be surprised to see him here as DoF one day.

He'd be a good appointment for them if true. LOL if true, this is The Sun we're talking about
Rory Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 He'd be a good appointment for them if true. LOL if true, this is The Sun we're talking about What's factually incorrect about the story?
Master Bates Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 I wouldn't be shocked if he went there, think he'd do them alright.
Prince Jazzbo Posted 3 November, 2009 Author Posted 3 November, 2009 He would have his work cut out, but they've got a relatively rich owner, a new ground being developed so there may be some attraction.
ecuk268 Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 What's factually incorrect about the story? Nothing incorrect but no evidence either. The chairman says that it's important they make the right decision, but he doesn't name anyone.
ribbo Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 the crystal palace fans would love it if he went there :S
4737_carlin Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 I can see him going back to reading ! Seriously hes not worthy of going down to league 1
Fan The Flames Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 From what I've heard its more likely to be Dennis Wise.
Victor Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 What's factually incorrect about the story? Bit touchy, aren't you? It's typical Sun scatter-gun approach - mention as many names as they can think of and then when there is an announcement they say: 'You heard it here first, folks' and include a picture of the extract from the one earlier report that happened to mention the right one. No mention of the others they claimed were going there, and didn't, of course. Remember, it's not a newspaper, so don't read it for news.
Rory Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Nothing incorrect but no evidence either. The chairman says that it's important they make the right decision, but he doesn't name anyone. The story is about him being the favourite. The Sun are not going to print anything incorrect. the crystal palace fans would love it if he went there :S He managed them before he took over at Reading.

Victor Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 It's made of paper and has news in it, therefore it is a newspaper. :supz: I beg your pardon, I thought it just had a lot of pictures and a report of/build up to the 'X Factor'. Unless, of course, you count a footballer's wife having a baby as 'news'.

I miss striker though. :smt008 Pppffhhzz :smt107 Careful there :shock:
Ponty Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Pppffhhzz :smt107 I've always wondered how to spell that.
Barry the Badger Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 The Sun are not going to print anything incorrect. Are you serious?
Toadhall Saint Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 The Sun and the truth - diametrically opposed I would have thought!
bridge too far Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 The Sun and the truth - diametrically opposed I would have thought! Certainly an oxymoron.
krissyboy31 Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Certainly an oxymoron. That's the Sun readership. Teenage sh!t for brains with acne.
CB Fry Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 I can see him going back to reading ! I can't. He's only just left. Why would he go back to pick up the pieces of that "difficult second season down" which he anticipated and scarpered from in the first place. Coppell, like Strachan, has learnt when to leave. He won't go back there. And I can't see him at Brighton either, not enough to gain, too much to lose.
waggy Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Don't think he would go in a month of Sundays. I wouldn't be surprised to see him here as DoF one day. Inside info Duncan?
Fan The Flames Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Now that Curbishly has settled with West Ham the Brighton fans may make themselves believe they have a chance of signing him up.
converted_saint Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 On first reaction, I was concerned that if Coppell did take over at Brighton then our 'new manager' jinx would kick in again, especially given the fact that he's an awesome manager. Then, I thought of our recent jinx record: 1) Sky Live jinx: outcome - draw with Millwall. 2) New manager jinx: outcome - draw with Colchester. So...our 3rd attempt will end in a victory, even if it is Coppell who ends up taking over! COYR!
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Inside info Duncan? Only inasmuch he was a whisker away from coming here as manager. It won't happen if AP doesn't want it to happen but he fits the role, is at SMS a lot and we seem to be recruiting staff with Reading connections, left right and centre.

Thats a shame, I really wanted him back in the summer, I liked the way he had Reading playing, still AP is doing a good job so mustn't gwumble.
VectisSaint Posted 3 November, 2009 Posted 3 November, 2009 Certainly an oxymoron. I don't think there was any need to refer to Wayne Rooney again and especially his acne problems
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 4 November, 2009 Posted 4 November, 2009 The story is about him being the favourite. The Sun are not going to print anything incorrect. He managed them before he took over at Reading. Oh!
dronskisaint Posted 4 November, 2009 Posted 4 November, 2009 The Sun and the truth - diametrically opposed I would have thought! To paraphrase a historical quote 'There are lies, damn lies & Sun exclusives (or editorials..whatever fits)' It's a comic...expect journalism to suit:)
St_Tel49 Posted 4 November, 2009 Posted 4 November, 2009 It's made of paper and has news in it, therefore it is a newspaper. :supz: The first bit is right ;-)
Victor Posted 4 November, 2009 Posted 4 November, 2009 I can see him going back to reading ! What do you mean - has he cancelled his order for the Sun and changed to a newspaper?
aintforever Posted 5 November, 2009 Posted 5 November, 2009 The BBC says Coppell has turned down Brighton, hopefully they will wont find anyone in time for next week.
InvictaSaint Posted 5 November, 2009 Posted 5 November, 2009 Up here in deepest darkest north Kent we have BBC south-east regional news and they had the Brighton Chairman on last night saying that they would not be appointing anybody until after their FA Cup tie on Saturday. Coppell has ruled himself out so whoever gets the job is not going to have a huge amount of time to get the team ready for the Saints game. To be honest, new manager or not, we should have more than enough to beat them.
Saints67 Posted 6 November, 2009 Posted 6 November, 2009 The Sun now claims it's John Gregory for the job! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2716736/More-of-todays-football-stories.html
Prince Jazzbo Posted 6 November, 2009 Author Posted 6 November, 2009 I'd feel sorry for them if he did. He's got to be one of the most failed english managers in the history of football. Yet somehow people seem to employ him. I can think of any club that he has been at where he didn't leave under a cloud. I might be wrong though.

I too think Gregory is a waste of space,and someone who has traded on a glorious track record of non-achievement.Despite that he has always managed to be a thorn in our side,remember his first or second game in charge of QPR and how they managed an unlikely 2-1 victory against us ?
