genome I quite like the cut of Gomes' jib to be honest
everything he has said since joining is spot on tbf.
I'm cautiously optimistic, but will need to see him doing good things as well as saying them before I jump aboard

Instead they make the worst appointment in the clubs history

Jackson Corner I really wouldn’t be surprised if we fail to win another game this season. The only hope was we got a decent manager in who could turn things around. Instead they make the worst appointment in the clubs history. An unknown with a proven track record of failure and no clue of the championship. I’ve been going to watch Reading FC since 1978 and I have suffered some really miserable times including the club folding altogether, but this tops the lot. To think that lot who wore the shirt yesterday pick up massive six figure salaries just makes me feel sick to the stomach. And for those who think we we will bounce straight back up Forest Leeds and Sheffield United spent several seasons in league one and they are way bigger than us. Once relegated there will be wholesale redundancies a massive wagebiill to trim the owners may well cut there losses and place the club into administration. A ten point deduction transfer embargo and relegation to league two. The ground sold off we become tenants like Coventry and play our home games at Aldershot. Happy New Year

Maneki Neko agree with all of that exceptInstead they make the worst appointment in the clubs history
we literally have no idea how good he is, or how good a job he will do.
defo think we would have done better with someone with championship experience who can get shit teams organised to grind out the required results though

If only Steve Bruce had been available....oh wait.

You can still judge the appointment on the perceived logic and thinking behind it though can't you?

Yes, you can. And, we have. Over and over again, with usually the same half dozen concerns being raised.

Great, thanks for the clarification. Anything you want to add to the conversation?

Well if people would stop arguing against the poor quality of the appointment by saying 'but we don't know yet', it would probably get mentioned less.

I get the concerns, but not sure it has to be binary. Battle lines drawn in the sand, etc. There's some middle ground. For example, even if he's successful, it would still have been a 'bold and risky appointment' at the time, in my mind. That won't change, regardless.

strap Had it on good authority (albeit 2nd hand) that 7 players have been released this morning. Sorry I have no names, merely that number. Probably pretty easy to make an educated guess. I would have thought there would have been more than that, but maybe more will follow as the window develops?

Seems unlikely given we'd have to pay up their contracts anyway and considering how many injuries we've got.
