Steve Coppell has resigned from Reading after a 5.5 years tenure at Madjeski Stadium with Reading. It is a tragic day at Reading as they missed both the chance for promotion back into the Premier League and also lost one of the most promising managers in England.
I have always had a strong opinion about managers resigning or getting the sack after a run of bad results. In my humble opinion, what define the club are the managers, coaches, players and the fans. A club to be successful needs to have a good combination of the 4 factors. To develop a successful team in any sport, time is required. In the context of a soccer, time is needed for the manager to train his players and to develop a style of play amongst his team. Time is needed for the fans to learn about the culture of the club and to build a sense of belief and belonging to the club they support. Time is needed for the management, players and fans to bond together and to play the sport as a team, which includes everyone involved with the club.
Today, teams are too concerned about results that they forget the requirements of a successful club. Owners are too concerned about the dollars and cents to give the managers the time they need to do their job. Please do not misunderstand me, lousy employees of the organisation should be "given the boot", but we should not simply sack an employee or apply too much pressure on an employee just because a game was lost or 3 games were lost in a row. We all have our bad days and if given the right amount of support, the right dynamics and the right relationship will be allowed to blossom within the club to ensure success at all levels.
As fans, we must stand by our team. As the Liverpool's slogan says, "You'll Never Walk Alone". The KOP at Liverpool will always stand by the team and I will always do my best to stand by the team no matter what the results are. Owners should too stand by their managers and support them to create success. Success is not something that we can achieve overnight but can only be achieved, over time.
Steve Coppell must have his reasons for resigning from the club but he has done a fantastic job at Reading, bringing them this far. I believe there will be a few more sackings/resigning as we head towards the end of the season. To all the owners, think twice before you fire someone whom you appointed and trusted. Analysis the situation objectively and not just financially. Give the managers a chance to do something at the club and to create success, perfection.
"Perfection is never about winning. Winning is no different from losing. Be perfect." -anonymous. Perfection is what we should be striving for and being perfect at what we do has nothing to do with whether or not we have won. Success is in achieving perfection. "Perfection in imperfection"-anonymous. Truthfully, there is nothing in this world that we really say is perfect. We as humans are imperfect. The world is imperfect and yet, that is what makes the world work and in a word, perfect.
