I would love to know what criteria Pang and Dai use to decide if a manager is fit to be first team manager. As this feels like another panic appointment.

Does anyone know how long he spent at Southampton as an assistant? Maybe they have some decent youngsters we can get on loan for next season. It is what it is and he’s not ever been near my shortlist or long list but fair play to him for accepting such a sh*t job. My expectations are very low for n...

I'll never be Selles in unless we're near the top of league one

Clyde1998 I'd rather we got Ian in, tbh.

I'd trust Ian more as manager than anyone we've appointed since Bowen

Hound Scraping around for info - seems to have been an assistant a lot - looks like 400+ games as an assistant manager

Plays 4-2-3-1

That’s about as much as I can find of any interest

4-2-3-1.

Jesus Carroll will thrive in that formation... Expect lots of 0-0 draws at home this season.

paddy20 What do we think? No great pedigree

Garbage appointment. I'm there to be proven wrong but I doubt he will prove me wrong.

The club just doesn't learn. This is the most unpopular manager appointment I can remember for so long.

No doubt he will fail like all the other recent managers. In the recent 1871 Coppell interview podcast, his main piece of advice for aspiring managers was pick the right club as at many you have no chance. That probably sums up his Soton spell and now this appointment - RIP his managerial career in...

Former Southampton manager Rubén Sellés has agreed to take charge of Reading to oversee their attempt to return to the Championship following relegation last season. The Spaniard, 40, has been in talks this week over becoming the successor to Paul Ince, who was sacked in April with Noel Hunt seeing...

It's sad but not really a surprise to see all our out of contract players go elsewhere. Staying here next season won't do their careers much good.

I was told on here yesterday that making a pun using a Chinese name was 'casual racism' . . . . . . Surely even calling him "Chinese" is casual racism, or even actually mentioning him at all. I live in China, and the ease with which "China" can get offended it ridiculous. They g...

Dai is too stubborn to do that

On Strings All of the above and another big wage gone.

Why's his wage matter? He's one of the few who actually deserved his wage and worked hard.

Feels like the end of a great friendship. He's one of the few high points on what's been a miserable 6 years for the football club.

Hope he gets a decent club and good luck to him.

Probably start off at home to Wigan and our kids get spanked 4-0. At least if that happens there finally might be a proper protest.

NathStPaul Why is it those angry with the owner have to mention his nationality when making an insult? Why is it relevant? Says a lot about a person when they do that.

Maybe because he's not the first Chinese owner to screw over a football club and unlikely to be the last.

With a growing number of people who live in Reading who aren't even from the area then probably not

Clyde1998

NathStPaul Who is it this "coalition of the willing" are wanting to buy the club? Who are they expecting to have the will or the funds to buy us?

Exactly. This feels like a case of be very careful what you wish for.

Don't think things could be much worse tbh

Sell Before We Dai is a typical Social Media kind of name - they have their letter in Mandarin so Dai should understand it!

Took long enough for the club to announce it
