2 world wars, 1 world cup Confounding factor: we have the worst board and the worst set up in the last few decades if not ever (but I don't know enough about pre Madejski Reading tbh)

strap For anyone interested in these things, Paul Clement has the worst record after 23 league games of any manager in Reading FC's entire history since we joined the Football League in 1920.
No agenda, no comment, just the bare facts. As an aside, Brenda Bodgers never even made it to 23 league games in his brief stint as RFC manager.

Is Billy Butler still alive?
If not can we connect with him somehow...?

Sutekh And, if you were wondering, I think Brendan managed the club to a point a game during his 21 league game career at Reading so definitely better and from less games too.

windermereROYAL I honestly believe the squad we have just doesn't have the talent, no matter what manager we have won`t be able to do any better. you have to question the recruitment policy in the summer.

Transfer policy is a pathetic joke. To be honest of the players Clement has brought in only Eza has looked better quality than what was already at the club while Yiadom has improved the left and right back options and meant that Blackett and Gunter actually do have experienced competition but after that it all might as well not have happened.
Walker is no better than either of the other two senior keepers and so we now have an extra keeper clogging up the progression of the youngsters. On top of that the best keeper we’ve seen so far this season only got a look in because of the injury situation which says a lot for PC’s decision making.
Baldock was an uninspiring signing and hasn’t changed that on the pitch though how much of that is down to the lack of a decent performing midfield remains to be seen as he does have a few nice touches about him.
Meyler arrived and basically hasn’t looked anywhere near good enough and now can’t even get in the match day squad.
Sims looks lively but other than Hull just gets to warm the bench.
McNulty. Sorry but just what was the point of this one. Looks poor and now, like Meyler, has disappeared into obscurity.

Lower West As Brian proved there was talent in the squad. Not something you could say now
Snowflake Royal McNulty was only ever to be a future punt, given how the rest of the team are doing I'm quite happy to have him getting experience at thus level and keeping Nova as far from our current shit show as possible.
And you have to remember that the club doesn't have the benefit of hindsight when making signings.

Were you one of many saying last season that the players are talented but that the problem was elsewhere?
