Good news. Great news even.

But on a sad note and rather an important one, when Coppell leaves at the end of the season as expected, Downes will move onto pastures new too, almost certainly.

[Uke]

And positive sounds from the players - which of course will be ignored by everyone...

After all why quote these when there are a million and one negative rumours instead

So, not all good news then

[Roger the Rabbit]

You've quoted the wrong link Starbug - that one is about Convey staying !
You must be quite embarassed at an error like that...

Oster to Derby? Good. I never understood why he got booed, but Hunt escaped and ultimately won player of the year.

Think Hunts first half of the season was the reason.

[Royalshow]

Even Oster should walk into that Derby team.

Will never forgive him for what he said about Holloways wife.

[Royalee]

...Downes is staying. I expect Royalee will be further upset at this piece of news.

Doesn't really make much difference, just means he's another who'll follow Coppell out of the door when things go tits up as he's only on a year long contract.

As for his coaching abilities, see Portsmouth and Tottenham away. There's a reason he wasn't even good enough to manage Brentford.

[rfcjoe]

What did he say?

Edit: I found out what he said, dont worry.

Or you could have a look at the previous two seasons instead. You really can be quite tiresome sometimes. Coaching and managing are quite different things as well.

Only "quite tiresome" Ian

[Royal Rother]

QUITE tiresome? Come on, let's be honest. The guy is a prat of the highest order.

As long as he's been coming on here he's been spouting negative bollocks about anyone or anything that takes his fancy, only rarely (if ever) giving any semblance praise for the many achievements made by the club.

So his constant negativity finally got a hit last season. Big deal. The law of averages exists even for the biggest fools on the planet.

It is good to see that most other people who tend towards STGness feel the need to distance themselves from his feeble-minded rantings.

[seahawk10]

Bobby Convey is only 25! I don't know why that surprises me. Maybe him going through so many injuries and rehab just made it seem like he was older. If he can return to health we might just see the best of BC someitime in the next few years.
