TBF to TBM Savage was proper hated as a player but just after retirement (and in the run up to retirement, including his strip at the mad stad) he won a few people over I reckon. However, now that he works as a pundit for BT people have gone off him again, but while he's upsetting JT I'll give him a pass.

I seem to remember him as your classic pantomime villain towards the end of his career but before that I thought he was largely anonymous

Steve Clarke sacked by Reading.

Deary me - Russian 'billionaire' takes over - that's fine despite slating other clubs for having the same....*obvs change of ownership now.
Sacking culture at the club now. "It's not the Reading way". It is now.

Basically Reading are turning into everything they h8 in other clubs. :lol:

I agree however i feel we just haven't found the right manager ever since Coppell left the club. McD was ok but proved he's not cut out for the top division...

Just said the same to my colleague. We're not a good club at the moment and can't see it changing.

Not since AZ came in, and more so when MD left. But we were too nice on and off the field anyway, so that bit had to change.

Bad decision. Why not wait for a stable club who might back you, rather than one in constant upheaval.

Six years. So half as many as average.

How many managers have QPR had in six years? or LOLeeds?

It's 6 and 8 by the way.

Delighted we got the 'Chelsea' out of our club by binning off the odious Clarke, as I suggested we should do months ago of course. Next step would be to bin off the useless Chelsea loanees we have.

And would Sal have been able to get any more out of the talent he has to work on than Dave Beasant? Can't see it myself....
