Reading sacked Clarke for holding Fulham talks - and already have new manager in mind http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... rke.html?x …
Reading sack Steve Clarke for holding Fulham talks - and target Nigel Pearson to replace him
Steve Clarke has been sacked as Reading manager just three weeks after he turned down the chance to manage London club
Reading have announced that they have sacked manager Steve Clarke just three weeks after he turned down the chance to manage Fulham.
It is understood that Reading's Thai owners, led by Lady Sasima, were angered by Clarke's decision to hold talks with the club's Championship rivals.
Reading could now make a move to hire Nigel Pearson, the former Leicester manager, as Clarke's replacement.
Pearson has been out of work since being sacked by Leicester at the end of last season, having led the club to safety in the Premier League.
A statement from the club read: "The board of Reading Football Club have this morning relieved manager Steve Clarke of his duties.
"Following Thursday night’s defeat at home to QPR, added to a recent run of poor form which has seen the team pick up just one win in the last eight Sky Bet Championship fixtures, the board feel that a change in manager is now necessary.
"The club met with Steve in person earlier today and we would like to place on permanent record our thanks to him for his hard work and diligence since his appointment in December 2014.
"As part of this process, assistant manager Kevin Keen will also be leaving the club, and we would like to thank him for his efforts."
At the time, Clakre insisted that his decision to hold talks with Fulham “had no effect on the players whatsoever" during a defeat to Bolton.
The club's under-21 manager Martin Kuhl has been put in temporary charge of the team.

Not a bad shout.
My personal favourite is Tim Sherwood. Much of Spurs current success is down to the youth development while he was in charge.
In 28 games in charge. He won 14, lost 10 and drew 4. That's a good record.(Not one you'd expect the sack for in the Championship).
Hoop Blah All the chatter seems to point to Pearson, but I do think the Thai thing might make that less likely than it would appear.
As I've said before, I'd quite like Parky to have a pop at the job, mainly for sentimental reasons.
If it's not Parky, and not Pearson, then I hope we'd be looking at up and coming coaches who have shown some levels of decency and loyalty in their careers to date. Oh to be able to pluck our own Eddie Howe out of the woodwork though. Anyway, two names that spring to mind would be Karl Robinson or Paul Tisdale, perhaps the latter with Hoddle coming in as some form of experienced sounding board (realistically that kind of thing wouldn't happen of course).
It's a shame Dolan isn't still in the frame.
Pepe the Horseman The money's coming in for Bri Bri.
Winston Smith Spoke with someone earlier who knows Martin Kuhl. Sounds like the players might be in for a bit of a shock (if only temporarily)
