Steve Coppell to Become Next Pompey Manager?

Ben Hardinge by Contributor Written on May 13, 2009

After failing to secure promotion for Reading last night after losing out in the play-offs, Steve Coppell stepped down from the manager's seat at Reading, creating a perfect manager for Pompey next season.

Coppell did a superb job with Reading in the Premier League, and although he may not have too much experience in the department of where we want to be heading (up the Premier League table), he may be able to get the best out of a low budget squad, with funds low at Pompey at the moment.

Although Coppell once left Burnley for not having enough funds, the main backing of a squad is already at the club, providing they are willing to stay at Fratton Park next season.

Crouch, Johnson, Kranjcar, although all being linked with a move away, are rated as the backbone to Pompey's squad, and Steve Coppell would relish at the opportunity to play with these players.

Rumours have circled that Peter Storrie is on his way to Reading this morning, but whether he'll be latched up yet is another thing, is Hart the right man for next season, or should we capture Coppell.

Whatever happens I think Brian Kidd needs to stay as Assistant Manager because of his experience at top clubs!
