Well he's gone up in my book. Fantastic interview, couldn't have summed up our plight better.

Can't comment on all of this game as I left at half time, suffering from a head cold/man flu and chronic boredom. Looked to me like a pre-season friendly where a third-tier team ends up with a strong top flight side visiting due to the terms of a transfear deal of some sort. I'd usually commend Rea...

£5m - no chance. we could get someone better than him for £5m, if AZ is prepared to splash the cash

Would be an excellent signing, but it would be a strange one. Would only be on loan I reckon as I doubt he'd want to join a sinking ship permanently.

I can't quite understand why Benitez went to CheLOLsea, it's a lose-lose situation for him. Damned if he does well (because of their disgrace of a support) and damned even more (with dignity lost) if they lose today for example. Awful club, sacking Di Matteo was an utter joke

Do You See Now ? :shock: What's with this? Are you treating us like a bunch of idiots? The argument is we would not be in this league without Brian, he at least deserves a chance to turn it around in January. You don't get anywhere constantly sacking managers when they go on a bad run and in the fu...

Go and support Man Utd if you want to support a team that wins things.

From what he's had to work with he's done an incredible job and has over-achieved. The only way he can bring more success is if he is backed with hard cash in the transfer window. It's a Championship side in the Premiership...

There will be goals in this one. We are not bad at going forward at home - as shown by our 3 goals against Manchester United.

However, at the moment the opposition always seems to outscore us - so will go 2-4 Arsenal.

^ Incredibly short sighted, getting rid of stability could harm us in the long term.

Haven't seen a thread for this yet, so I would like to congratulate Brian on his third anniversary as Reading manager. Considering where we were when he took over, he's done wonders for the club and I hope he is given some money to spend so he can turn our current situation around. A true Reading gr...

Brian stays. Sell Guthrie for whatever we can get in January, a disgrace to the club. Apology not accepted.

Can't believe he's still in a job. Probably just the Reading way to allow an inept manager to stay in the job. Nice club we are Do you know what it makes me sick to the stomach when I read comments like this. We aren't the first and won't be the last club to get promoted and then struggle in the Pr...

Can't believe he's still in a job. Probably just the Reading way to allow an inept manager to stay in the job. Nice club we are Without arguing for him to stay or go, I am utterly amazed that Martin ONeill is a much shorter price to be sacked than Brian. Sunderland are an established Premier League...

Mark Hughes usually does a good job when he is in charge at a situation like Reading FC. Yeah, he did a great job at fellow strugglers QPR.... Great argument that. You conveniently left out TF's next comment "When he is given a ton of cash to splash, that's when he tends to under-perform expec...

Top Flight Mark Hughes usually does a good job when he is in charge at a situation like Reading FC.

Yeah, he did a great job at fellow strugglers QPR....

he likes of Samuel and Obita would give teams all sorts of trouble. Certainly more so than the inconsistent Kebe's and McAnuff's of the world. Based on what evidence. I think this is total bullshit, no offence The wouldn't offer any less than the inconsistent Kebe, McAnuff, McCleary or HRK. Absolut...

i think he was signed to start changing the way we played, along with pog, i think he was signed cos he was hungry for first team football, was a quality player and had premiere league experience, and because brian hoped hed be able to manage his dodgy temperament. clearly a massive failure, and a ...

Gutted. Oh well, the Championship's not such a bad place....

Oh do o*ford off! Another bloody Sherlock Homes.
