Selles not out

I get the feeling Bowen is very tied up with the sale of the club.

Hunt doing a top job with the u21s

Badly need to change it in sone way though

I get there are "bigger" issues at play, but at the same time what is as important as 1st team performance? It's what clubs spend their entire life trying to maximise.

The new owner will have an enormous rebuilding job. It will take years to rebuild the culture and undo Dai's era. If we have a chance of doing it from L1, we should absolutely be trying to do that. Maybe once a new owner comes in and appoints a full time manager, Hunt can return to the U21s. But he shouldn't be wasted with the U21s while the 1st team burns.

I actually thought we were the better team most of today. Certainly for the 1st hour, and even after then we kept them at arms length until injury time. It was stupid subs and our mentality thar lost us the game. That should give us confidence that a new manager can turn things around.

Mine needs some work if his is in hand.

I didn’t rate the job Hunt did last year but accept we’re getting desperate and it’d be an upgrade on Selles

I’m sure Selles can coach and has good ideas etc but he is incapable of management. Mentality is wrong, so weak. His subs were verging on ridiculous today. He’s lost any plot he ever had.

Maybe one of the players dads is available to step in again

In my view Hunt's opportunity was a difficult job with arguably the weakest squad in the league. I'd like to see what he can do with a squad potentially capable of the top half.

And that my friends is our reality.

Selles: "I tell you don’t forget the situation we are in. Before those points deductions we were in a good situation. Those elements hurt us a lot. It is not an excuse. We have not been good enough for one reason or another and I am the man responsible." #readingfc

It is an excuse, and it seems like every other team who gets a points deduction has an us against the world attitude, and fight for survival, whereas Reading capitulate.

You could possibly use the points deduction as an excuse if it was 12 points but it is 4 points ffs

Derby had a real go at surviving with -21. I think in 2019, Birmingham had -9 and pulled away. In 2020 Wigan nearly made it out with -12, and are doing okay this year on -8.

But we have -6 or -4 and it's a free pass for players and managers to play like shit and make excuses. Culture of the club rotten.

....and whose fault is that?

[Elm Park Kid]

People need to get used to the idea that he's not going to go until the takeover. Whatever anyone says, it will cost money if he leaves his position, and I think Dai has zero interest in that.

why do we persist with this line? remove him from post

I’m actually very pro-Selles and I love it

I thought he gave great clear answers. I know exactly what he's up to.

Yeah, he was very clear what he said. I think you know exactly what's going to happen. I’m reassured, you’re reassured

I think he’s right to say, basically, let’s not predict, let’s just see what happens next week. I think he did the right thing there…

[Royality creeps In]

Just sack him for sheer incompetence and not fit for purpose. It may be too late but were heading one way with this clown at the helm!
If he whines about his contract not being paid up, let him join the list of debtors.

International break. Time to act!

[WestYorksRoyal]

Still here then?

[Brogue]

I don’t like him

[blythspartan]

I am beginning to think that Selles uses a random name picker device for team selections and substitutions.

He shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a real football club and just stick to virtual games where his decisions can’t do any damage. He seriously has to be the worst manager we have had in my lifetime.
