Adkins claims he feigned injury to engineer a move to Palace, Kebe claims he had a hamstring tweak.. Considering he had spent the previous 6 months out injured, I would imagine the truth lies somewhere between the 2, and in all likelihood, Kebe didn't see the value in potentially aggrivating an inj...

Sutekh Jimmy coming back....

Lol, second paragraph says Mark Warburton is the new manager.

That's shitter than a lot of the dross on the Team board ffs.

What really stank about the Gunter and GMac situation was that they were banned from even attending the stadium on match days. I get that a manager has to make tough / unpopular decisions but that just didn’t sit well with me. Out of interest, where did that information come from and was it validat...

Careful what you wish for you f**king bell.

I wish that windermereRoyal gets cancer...purely to kill the AIDS he obviously has!

And people wonder why Football fans are looked down on!?

Aerial cameras?

Rafael Gunter Moore Miazga Richards Rinomhota Olise Swift Ejaria Baldock Boye Yep, i quite like this, 4-4-3 would be my preferred formation. Maybe Puscas in for Baldock, and Baldock as sub. I'd also like it if the ref was on our side for a change. Or are you suggesting playing Cabral upfront or in ...

Hound Thought Holloway did well with qpr couple of years back

Obvs his 'schtick' wears a bit thin, but I think he's a decent manager

Yeah, this.

I suspect he was asked for some feedback on JG and how things were going on the training ground. Then the owners and their advisers made the decision based on that and the results on the field. I think thats still compatible with Bowen's interview. Bowen did suggest he was working far more closely ...

JLow on the Elm Park Royals podcast stating that we did approach one manager who turned us down so may well be that we had a #1 target and when we couldn't get him the board decided the best approach was to give it to someone already at the club to avoid a lengthy delay in appointing someone - cert...

Are we sure he isn't for the legends side?

I'd invite Maffff, LordCKS, RoyalBlue, Strap and anyone else currently having a tantrum at Gomes sacking and Bowen's appointment to training.

Then I'd kill them. Burn them. And Bury the ashes under one of the training pitches.

And we'd all be happier people.

Maffff and Lord CKS would disintegrate

Thats the hope

One is the others alter ego
lord cks calls out anyone who block him but blocks anyone who calls him out
snowflake hypocrite

Oi oi

Some superb narrative has been concocted with this appointment, and in true Reading fans fashion there has been an absolute meltdown. Jose was quite rightly sacked because he oversaw a transfer window where we spent big, and all the signals were pointing towards us not getting out of the losing run...

No mention there on length of contract. The snake confirmed in its Berkshire Live interview: Contract It's till the end of the season. I didn't think about the length of the contract. https://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/new-reading-fc-manager-mark-17086617 So when it takes us ...

Haven't seen/heard this latest interview, but the bits people have been posting about, alongside what I've already seen and heard make me really like Bowen. I'm fully behind the bald beauty, even though I started out a little underwhelmed at the announcement and idea. I really hope he gets a reactio...

If what he is saying is true then the owners/Howe need to take some responsibility for the reception he's got. It doesn't to take a genius to work out this is how the appointment will likely be interpreted by the fans/press. A short quote in the announcement from Dai himself saying exactly what Mar...

What did Pardew actually do again? Leave for a bigger club? Sign a lucrative contract in which he asked for a Premiership release clause, He then gets tapped up by a championship rival and leaves. This after telling at least one fan to their face that he's going nowhere. He also say's in his leavin...

The hero worship of Howe on his return was stupid. People remember Coppell and McDermott and conveniently forget Bullivant, Burns and Rodgers. Still, CEO is going to require more than 11 months to judge given the lack of obvious metrics under his direct control. Gomes hasn't worked (his defenders a...

In the middle ground, sitting on the fence The whining on twitter is strangely enjoyable and really does make me want him to do well though. To the point I’d like to see him start Gunter and McCleary just to see a few of them explode in anger Gunter as captain on Saturday and we may see a riot. Hop...

Let’s put it this way. There will be even more empty seats than usual. Good. If people can't back a new manager at a game they shouldn't come. And they won't. The supporters will vote with their feet if this goes tits up. The appointment of Bowen will do wonders for local non-league clubs. Good for...

haven't read the whole thread, so may have already been said. However, what if Bowen was actually much more influential behind the scenes last season than we all know. We seemed to do better after he joined, but that's partly due to Gomes getting his feet under the table as well. Maybe, just maybe,...
