What if a premiership club come in for him....i.e Blackburn? their fans on some message boards have mentioned his name as a possible candidate. Blackburn is the sort of club you could potentially see Coppell at..
If they came calling with a job offer and a longer contract would he go? and would we stand in Blackburns way to stop him going?
Just a thought....
It's a thought that has crossed my mind, but Coppell is supposed to be a man of his word. I think he'll do the right thing and stay.
I really cant see that this is going to be an issue. The question of whether Coppell stayed or not was never a question of whether he could get a different job or not - I think if he'd left us he'd have had another job , in the premiership, pretty quickly. He chose to stay here.
I also dont think that the prospect of a longer contract means anything to a man who until his last contract has insisted on having a one year contract (thank goodness he was persuaded to sign a two year one with us).
Whether he will stay for another contract after this one (regarddless of whether we make an instant return to the Premiership or not ) is I think in more doubt.
