Steve Coppell

[HobNob]

Been thinking about this for some time:

Peter Taylor leaves Brighton because he says they have no money and no ambition;
Steve Coppell leaves Brentford, apparantly because they have no money or ambition;
Peter Taylor joins Hull, a team with no money or ambition;
Steve Coppell joins Brighton, a team with no money or ambition

Hull, a team with no money or ambition;

The only incorrect part of your posting !

 

[wanderingbee]

I though Hull had sorted thier money problems out, its just Jan faty Molby has wasted a lot of it...

as For Steve Coppell... he has no money now so any job for him :lol :lol

Seeing him relegated and us promoted cool

Footie world for this subject.

Copps thought that a big club would come in as did Taylor, 6 months later any club is better than no club.

Wycombe wage cuts?

Hmm! Interesting that Wycombe's Adams Park was used by Uncle Ron as a ground to emulate with its facilities. Still, financial stupidity would affect the most wealthy and resourceful of clubs.

It has done with Brentford over the last four years !

re Hull

Hull are underachieving at the moment. They were favourites to go up I think. Here's their fancy new stadium :

Fu(king hell! Looks v. impressive. What's the capacity of it?

They're all at it...

Looks impressive. But are Gillingham or Reading due to be their first opponents there? Have they sent an advance contingent of supporters?

I should get on with some work really !!!

. They were favourites to go up I think.

One has a 'few bob' on them this season so if they don't go up I'll be tempted to 'pay a visit' to Messrs Molby and Taylor in a

or just drive up there and 'deal with them'

Ahh, wondered if anyone would spot the tinkers

Where on earth do they get the money to build a stadium like that - and would they even half fill it???

Er, if you haven't noticed, Hull is the fourth biggest city in England, (please correct me if i'm wrong), and the inbreds are pretty supportive of their local team, hence the 9000+ average att for the 3rd div. get them in the 1st and you are looking at double that for home games.

The Hull chairman was interviewed on 5 live last weekend. He said that they had no debts and were making money. They have a catchment area of 1,000,000 plus people. The ground will also be used for Rugby League. Not sure who is paying for it all though
