Mid Sussex Royal Looking at the votes to date O'Shea or Jones would be ok.
Assume the Parky votes are based on this season solely and Wrexham being in the news every day because of the yanks.
Remember its taken him 2.5 years to get a league one squad promoted from a part time league

Snowflake RoyalYorkshireRoyal99 I'm genuinely not so sure that a manager would last that long if we were to be labouring about in 16th in League One, even with all the changes that we will need to make this summer. I'm still expecting us to be in the play off places really at a minimum, anything less is an underachievement in my opinion, so I doubt anyone would be staying if we were 16th.
Can't keep sacking a manager every year.
Hope for better, but unless you're in serious danger of relegation, give them at least two summer transfer windows and 18 months, preferably 2 years.
I expect us to be a fair bit better than 16th, but we're going to need a lot of work on the squad and be relying on quite a few young players. Our midfield will be entirely new again in all probability.
We should have a three year plan and not panic if year one is a bit of a struggle.

HoundMid Sussex RoyalSnowflake Royal Bit harsh, could you really see Ince getting draws against Burnley and Luton? And we might have won Luton without the red card.
Yes - both were playing at 50% and had nothing to play for.
Yeah, tbf to Ince (and don’t get me wrong he had to go) he got a draw at Bristol and was a minute and some awful defending from one at promotion chasing PNE
Just don’t think we’ve looked really like winning any of the games under hunt except 15m against Luton (and first half we were piss poor)

Hound Luton were already guaranteed at least 4th. No real advantage to being 3rd rather than 4th, esp with 5/6/7/8th being so close

Fact is Hunt had a harder run of games than Ince. Everyone agreed ahead of time. Anything different nowis re-writing hostory to suit a narrative.

No one has said otherwise
Still doesn’t change the fact that 3 of the 4 had little to play for and we didn’t beat them.

Winston Biscuit Where is all the John O'Shea love coming from? What has he done to show he is the manager to get us up near the top of L1? I feel I may have missed an entire chapter on something he has done

People have heard of him. He's from Man Utd so must be good. He's former Reading. Our defending was briefly not awful while he was on the coaching staff.
Absolutely nothing.to do with his managerial ability basically

Mr Dai likes an ex-Manchester United player. We've had Stam and Ince as managers and O'Shea and Fortune as backroom staff before. Surprised Roy Keane and Steve Bruce aren't being considered too.

Steve Bruce Well you know, I'd love the job. You can pay me in kebabs with extra lashings of Chilli sauce with a side of cheesy chips. No salad, I hate lettuce, and you'll have to get rid of that Andy Carroll because I hate him too.

Wigan, Coventry, Luton and Burnley did NOT have little to play for at the time. Think Noel only got it wrong against Wigan but was additionally screwed over by Carroll being an idiot so has done pretty much as well as expected. As usual though the rub of the green just hasn’t turned up for Reading in the last 12 games (or indeed for most of this entire season), particularly with some of the other results clubs have had in the last few weeks.
Issue for the club yet again was the failure to get rid of Ince much earlier when the continual negative team selections and berating of players started.
