Re: Up to date Selles poll - in or out?

I don’t think there is much point in making a change until we have a new owner in place and when that new owner is in place I’d expect they would also want their own manager in. I’ve not totally given up on Ruben, generally thought we have done alright in the home matches but feels like we are now e...

Re: Ruben Selles it is

I wanted someone with experience and the Chris Wilder link was the stuff of dreams, however as more and more bad news came out of the club getting a decent manager with good experience has looked unlikely. Fair play to Selles for picking us in our current state, ultimately his success will come down...

Re: Division one things to forward to……..

Key that a new manager is found and appointed within 2 weeks of the end of this season, really don't want to wait until July before finding the club have found the next Bullivant/Clement/Gomes/Paunovic/Ince. If we are looking for unemployed managers I would hope we already have our man lined up. It...

Re: Season Tickets 23/24

I would like to renew but think I will wait to see who we hire as manager and what signings we make. If we hire a manager with experience of the league or a young coach with the aim of developing players it’s something I can get behind. But if we hire a random foreign manager with no experience of t...

Re: Division one things to forward to……..

Obviously getting relegated would be a disaster, but I don’t fear League 1. We just have to face facts, that is the level we have been playing at.

I hope it gives us the opportunity to lead with more of our younger players in the squad & actually build something over a longer period.

Re: STH, will you renew next season?

Undecided, I need to see a future for this team, bored of operation rebuild every summer and a club full of loan players. Appreciate it’s been hard under an embargo. If we get the point deduction I am not sure I can trust the owners going forward.

Re: Ince out!

The Murty rumour is an interesting one, bring in a development coach to develop our academy players and maybe some other academies cast offs and sell for decent money and then reinvest in the team. It’s a pretty solid long term plan but also very risky and not sure our fans will have the patience fo...

Re: Points Deduction AGAIN

Surely in January we would have been trying to sell anyone we could if we knew this was about to happen? Instead we added 1 to the squad and it was only the squad size preventing us adding more. Assume someone in back office at the club has made a massive error. No smoke without fire and I can only ...

Re: Ince out!

The mission at the start of the season was to keep Reading FC in the Championship and we are well on track to achieve this. We are 1 win away from equalling the same amount of wins from last season with a lesser squad and we have a terrific home record. Like it or not progress is being made. This s...

Re: PInce - Concerns Developing - Is He Confused?

No concerns over Ince. One of the favourites to go down with the bookies and currently looking like we are 4/5 wins from safety. Also 4th best home form in the league is giving me great value for money on my season ticket. There will be bumps in the road but surely that’s to be expected given our ci...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (h)

Enjoyed the game yesterday, we may have lost some players but the signs are there that we look a more functional team. Thought we saw out the last 20 minutes very well, Lumley makes such a difference when he can come out and claim crosses. Long was brilliant up top, won so much in the air while offe...

Re: Out of Contract 2022

Lots of cry-babies on Twitter pulling out the loyalty card. Think about it from Rino, Laurent & Swift’s positions - can’t have enjoyed being part of a club with a losing mentality for several seasons, they’re entering their prime years & will want a shot at promotion. All 3 of those clubs h...

Re: Next Reading Manager

Good to see the appointment has now been made. Yeah there is probably better managers out there but Ince knows the squad, knows who he will want to keep and knows what he wants to add.

Hopefully we can get a good bit of the recruitment done early as well.

Glad to see Bowen back as well.

Re: Do you want Ince to stay?

I wouldn’t be against Ince. We have to get away from blaming managers every time this squad fails. It’s poor recruitment that is costing us. No surprise that as soon as we got ourselves safe the squad switch it off an go through the motions again. As Brian McDermott said we keep throwing managers at...

Re: Why the **** are you still here ?

Had a bit more of a think last night about the club in its current state and what is turning me off it. I think it comes down to a lack of longer term plan / strategy which I just don't see visible anymore. For instance if the club announced a Director of Football now who would be working on our Squ...

It's your club at the end of the day. It's in your DNA. It's not meant to be about supporting in the good times only. Being part of the struggles makes those good days even more special when they happen. Great points. I suppose for me the Reading FC in my DNA is not the club I see at the moment. I ...
