Would people want him back at Reading?

He managed to get Derby to pay £3 million for Nick Blackman. The bloke is a hero.

Any man that gives Hal Robson Kanu a professional contract at not one, but two, clubs deserves to be shot.

Only surprise is he didn't get booted out with the other 2 blokes who went a few weeks ago

WBA have had an absolute mare this year

wouldn't be overly shocked if he came back here in the summer, with BT leaving in the summer

To be honest plan b definitely didn’t work so maybe reverting back to plan a with a different manager at the top could work. He does seem like a bit of a coppel 2.0 mr clement

Bring him back to Reading FC to replace Gorley and B. T. He will be able to clear out the rubbish and get a good fee for them.

I was one of the many singling him out for abuse in his early days as RFC's DoF - and he proved me an UTTER bell-end by the time he left, (which to be fair isn't a hard task :oops: ). I suppose the old adage is "never go back", but frankly most on HNA could do a better job of signing players than BT, so why not? Just imagine, he might actually get a fee for the likes of Blackett, Clement (P), Aluko et al!

Frankly I fear we are stuck with BT due to the impact of Rooney's Rule, (or whatever it's called these days).

In an absolute heart beat I'd have him back. He was DoF from 2003-2016 easily the most successful period in our history. And for every Hal there's at least one Doyle to balance it! Come home Nick(y)

What about Virgin Media, localish company, are used to being involved with failing football clubs as well.

Sorry strap, but that comes across as borderline racist there. Plus there is no Rooney rule in English football.

+1

Also the Rooney rule doesn't state that you have to employ a minority candidate, it states you have to interview minority candidates. The rule is;

The Rooney Rule is a National Football League policy that requires league teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation jobs. It is sometimes cited as an example of affirmative action, though there is no quota or preference given to minorities in the hiring of candidates.


I, for one, would welcome something like this in English football. Pittsburgh are the ones who championed this (hence the rule being named after then owner Dan Rooney) and they have had a very successful time under Mike Tomlin.

Not borderline, just racist.

He also got 500k for Andy Hughes in the last year of the players contract. That is the work of the Messiah!

Doesn't that require you to interview x number of people from whatever minority group/groups it's aimed at? - It doesn't mean you can't get rid of someone who happens to belong to one of those groups if you have a business reason to do so and as long as they are not unfairly dismissed and compensated as per contract and/or mutual agreement.
