Coppell Says:
"Your life is determined by results. If you win, it's a lively world. If you lose, it's your fault. Everyone is judged on results.
"If we lose, I'll be judged poorly, disparagingly and if I don't do something about it, things will happen.
"It's not a question of feeling under threat, but a manager is judged on results. If you don't get results, you're not a manager for long."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coppell has possibly made one poor judgement but because of transfer windows and the way the transfer market is structured, he can't rectify that judgement until January.
If Coppell couldn't see for himself that there was a need to take action in the up coming transfer window then maybe there would be a need for supporters to shout their mouths off and critisize on HNA.
But Coppell knows himself that action needs to be taken and he will take action when he is legally permitted according to the rules and regulations of the Fifa transfer market.
Its time to stop critisizing Coppell's decision not to invest and let him get on with sorting our team out. The next opportunity he gets to invest he will invest.
Coppell is an incredibly shrewd and clever operator. Even the best people make mistakes along the way. The stupid people don't admit to them and carry on failing.
The clever people like Coppell admits that he needed to invest more. The first part of solving a problem is to admit that there is a problem. Coppell has done that. He has admitted it. He is such an honest and honorable man.
We KNOW he KNOWS that there is a problem.
He can only act on the problem when the situation allows in January.
Time to lay off him, and not cover the same issues every week. Time to support Coppell and support the team and let him work it out when he is able to.
The one thing that Coppell deserves after all his success with Reading is time. He has earned time to sort out the teams vulnerabilities. He is not a rubbish manager. He is the best manager the club has ever had.
There is no other manager out there who can do the job that Coppell has done with the same resources. Coppell is the best equipped manager in terms of experience and ability to address the teams issues.
We must have complete faith in the Sir Steve the master.
Fans who panic now are very stupid.
