Sonko and Fae on way out?

Reading

Looks like they could be after this...
www.getreading.co.uk/sport/f...

Not allowing them to go to the training ground or stadium seems like a pretty excessive ban. Coppell must have his reasons.
After Fae's comments before about priority to engish players and now this, i cant see him staying around for too much longer. Possibly Sonko to leave as well, so much for him giving everything to the club...

Fae has been really childish, Reading will be better off getting rid of him.

send them packing. the manager calls the shots, and if they don't like the way the shots are called, then they should leave. they're not that good either, so it would be no great loss.

Davidylan - do you really know what you are writing about? Tevez was instrumental in keeping West Ham in the Premiership last season. I seem to remember that he scored the winner against Man Utd. You dismiss the actions of these two Reading players as if they have the right to refuse to play because they have a 'rubbish' manager. I disbelieve that accusation against Coppell, but regardless of who is the Manager they do not have the right to reject a request to play in the reserves. After all they are paid professional footballers. If I was a window cleaner and refused to clean a window that my boss requested me to clean then I would be sacked there and then!!

Well I think Fae made the wrong decision joining a rubbish club like Reading who have no ambition and face a relegation battle. SC may be the boss but right now he needs team spirit. Yes clubs pay their wages..but in life you cannot be a slave to your employers. The fact of the matter is that both players are better off leaving as i see Reading being relegated or going down next year. Reading are boring to watch..shame for a team from the Royal county....

You're welcome to him. You'll get along well together.

I'm confused, Fae talks about the management doing things behind his back, then talks to the media behind their backs?

Primadonna. Lose him.

well lets see Coppell and his merry band of skilless players navigate the tortuos terrain of the relegation battle.
This coach never fails to surprise you, here he has a team that can hardly put a ball between the goal posts and he sends out Lita on loan.
He's team is in danger of going out of the premiership and he publicly suspends players for failing to turn up to a reserve game?

Bye bye coppell. take your rubbish team out of the premiership and shut the door behind you.

Professional Footballers are supposed love playing football. So why would they refuse to play in a reserve match when they have hardly played at all the entire season. Have they got something better to do, like wash their hair?!

Go f/// yourself Fae. You are supposed to be a footballer - why don't you want to play football, then? If you think you were too big for the reserve game, then perhaps have a word with our captain, and first team winger who played without question.

I wouldn't hold out for much either; it's not as if any other club is going to be attracted by that attitude, let alone your lousy performances.
