The Curse of del Fuego
Oh Blimey! yesterday I happened to mention what a fine job Steve Coppell's doing as manager at Brighton and Hove Albion - next thing you know he's packing up the old kitbag and heading for Reading.
Brighton have had some excellent managers in recent years who for one reason or another they haven't been able to hang on to or have foolishly let go - Peter Taylor, Micky Adams, Brian Horton, Alan Mullery and now maybe Steve. I guess that's just the way it is for the smaller clubs - if you do well, the big clubs will want your manager and best players. hey-ho!
