Coppell: Hits back at Hunt

Hunt feels he 'probably deserved a little bit better from the club' after a bid from David Moyes' side was rejected but Coppell insists that the Royals behaved impeccably.

He told the club's official website: "It was always going to be a difficult summer, what with relegation and aspirations of certain players to play in the Premier League.

"I think that I and the club have been more than fair to everyone in the squad.

"Everyone had a price and if that price was met I made a deal available to the player.

"That gave every player the opportunity, if conditions were met, to move on."
