Why don't they just get a the kit man or Kingsley Royal to manage till the end of the season then decide .

I cant imagine one fan turning cartwheels for Clement , a proven failed sacked manager.

Yeah, but aren't they all at some point though, unless you are talking about Sir Alex Ferguson?

There is the Reading connection with his brother Neil having played for us.
Mind youthe rumour of Paul Clement getting the job could be a major mix-up as we already have a P Clement as a player.

Brynjar Gunnarsson (God) with Ivar Ingimarrson as a tandem or who is the Iceland national manager as they seem to be producing miracles all the time :D

Does not auger well if PC is to be the next in the hot seat.


Why's that then? Nothing like giving the man a chance!

A few people said the same when Coppell was appointed and BMac (first time, granted!).

Can't help but think there's something a bit Emperor's New Clothes about Clement. All the ingredients are there but it just feels like such an uninspiring appointment.

I see Pavel Pobrebnyak is at 18/1 to be our next manager :mrgreen:
Frankly none of the front runners appeal.
I would go with Graham Potter who has done a fantastic job at Ostersunds.

Or someone unproven like Stam. And we’d moan about that if it happened again as well

What Clement has proven is he can save a team who look like being relegated

Dutch coach Andries Ulderink is listed as the 6/1 favourite, with Marco Silva and Clement both 8/1.

loyalroyal4life Pearson with Reid back as his assistant


You reckon you could persuade someone coaching in the Premier League under Hodgson to take up the same position in the Championship under Pearson?

Pearson is a full out bully and a mentallist by the way


Do not see why not? Reid left due to Stam and an obvious difference in opinion on coaching aspects. Certainly has more chance of eventually managing Reading than managing Palace in the future too

While manager of Derby, Clement lost one game in 19 while in charge (sounds sort of familiar), and was sacked hen Derby were fifth in the league.
While manager of Swansea he saved them from relegation from the PL in a season where they looked odds-on favourites to go down.

I have no idea who will come in, but it hats be soon. Clement doesn't look a bad shout to me.
