Completely agree As you said, its not Jimmy's fault we have a squad of this size, the board are unwilling to part with this cash. Why, we don't know, but thats the way it is.
Coppels comments were interesting, however, "football is a funny game" and you never know what might happen, whose to say Reading couldn't have competed? I mean, we sure as hell held our own on meagre budget in comparison to ALL the team's we faced.
