CONFIMRED - Mark Bowen

[Gunny Fishcake]

He and the club can fcuk off !

[Simon's Church]

Given how this has gone down I hope Bowen goes full troll mode and starts Gunter as right back on Saturday.
Sure its particularly uninspiring, but isn't the Reading way to give new players and manager at least 45mins of their first match before the motivational booing starts?

Start walker, Gunter, McCleary and baldock.

Puscas not in the squad.

[Old Man Andrews]

To where?

[Gunny Fishcake]

Anywhere else he can stab people in the back

[Franchise FC]

one of the reasons no one knows anything about him as a manager is because hes never been manager before, which in itself a valid cause for concern

that said, we have a good record with that kind of appointment in the past

You will note that I made no mention whatsoever about him as a manager. That's because I know nothing of that either - nor do all but one of the HobNob massive.

Who is this allusive individual your refer to Fran? Is it Gazza?

I don't KNOW that this person has inside knowledge, but I very strongly suspect, that's all - hence the 'potential' in my earlier quotes.
It would be stupid to name him/her as it may stop any flow of information.

Gunter RB

Yiadom RW

Blackett/Obita LB

Barrett/RIchards LW

There's your 4-4-2 for you.

[Ascotexgunner]

far more fun to think he is a big snake who sacked lovely Jose so he could get himself the job he craved though tbf.

Hound, I scoffed when someone suggested this........Now Im confused and starting to wonder

[stealthpapes]

Checks news.

LOL

Checks out.

[paultheroyal]

"on paper" - he has a decent 6 games to start with....

12 points+ anyone?

If he gets 0 points in the 6 games does he go?

Give him 8

Just to say, this is the first team I've seen something Reading FC related in the global trending list on Twitter

[genome]

1. No-one on here (one potential exception)

Wait, who?

I seem to remember when BM MK1 took over we put a 10 straight win run together didn't we?

Bianca Westwood has, only person I've seen personally.

If he is still the Sporting Director, only if he sacks himself.

Fair point. I guess we'll have to stick to telling anyone who seems vaguely ITK to 'oxf*rd off you don't know anyone at the club you pleb!'

Ex-Wales teammates Danny Gabbidon and Dave Edwards are sticking the boot in to Bowen on Twitter.
