Coppell urges Fae to leave
15 May 2008 - 14:25:40
Midfielder Emerse Fae has played his last game for Reading, as long as Steve Coppell remains the man in charge of the Royals.
The Ivory Coast international refused to take part in a reserve team fixture late on last season and launched a verbal attack on Coppell after being fined two weeks' wages.
That outburst means that the club's record £2.5million signing will be allowed to move on after just 12 months of his three-year contract.
Coppell told the Evening Post: "If I'm still here, he won't play for Reading again.
"Sometimes you have to accept a player just does not fit. When you make signings, especially in the Premier League, every one has to be right. But it doesn't always work like that.
"Sir Alex Ferguson has gone on record over the years saying that some of his signings have not worked. It sounds cruel, but that is just the way it is.
"I have to accept that Fae was not a good signing for us. He is not the right person.
"He did not come at the right time and he is not the right fit, but I am sure there will be a lot of French clubs who would be ready to take him."
