Re: The inevitable poll for the next Reading manager

If even the AI is accurate I’ve no particular issue with this. I think we’re way too lightweight at the moment, esp up front. But it’d need different players to come in from what we have currently This. Direct football is greater than possession based tedium anyway. Just as long as it isn't hoofbal...

8% win rate at his last job as Rotherham boss. :cry:


Over the last 24 games of an already woeful Championship campaign. Doesn't sound like a fair crack to me.

Re: Hunts gone

Mid Sussex Royal
Royalcop Feel very saddened by this; so wanted it to work for Noel but think it’s probably the right decision, or rather that the owners had to take action at this point.

Open training session tomorrow could be a bit awks.

Selles in?


He's got a job in Spain somewhere.


Yes - Real Zaragoza

Re: Hunts gone

WestYorksRoyal Confirmed by the club. I'd stay off Twitter. A necessary decision, but not one to celebrate.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Yes, I think so. Negativity breeds negativity and toxicity. We've seen how much better the club felt and performed against the odds when everyone was pulling together. It’s not like it’s translated to the crowds at the games though as far as I can see. I didn’t go to Swindon but hear there was some...

Re: Hunt out.

Cant imagine the likes of a Warnock coming in unless he is grinding the organ I can. He's retired multiple times so a job where he can dabble and help out for a few months, rather than be the guy in the crosshairs with all the pressure and responsibility, would probably be a great way to stay invol...

Re: Fixtures 2025/26

Northampton Town (H) rescheduled for Tuesday, 21st October, 8pm KO. Sooner the club does away with these 8pm KO's the better, waste of time for a ground that won't have more than 7k in it. Is it a planning restriction on league games (noting that the Wimbledon league cup game was a 7pm KO)? If so, ...

Re: Josh bowler

This is just a massive well done all round to the club for attracting an exciting player and then when he made unreasonable demands telling him to do one and going elsewhere. If that is what happened. I believe Noel told a number of people, including some nobbers, at the Bearwood open day that a pl...

Snowflake Royal We didn't get a massive fee for Bindon


How much did we get? I heard 10 mill mentioned.


OMG 950000 Euros......I'm shocked.....I also heard 2mill which would be believable...but that is an insult.


He was out of contract this summer. It was £700k or sod all.

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

So basically, our squad is instantly much stronger, because we aren't losing a player we thought we were losing. And goals are much less of a worry because the player that apparently isn't leaving was our topscorer last year. Boo hoo. Doom. Alternatively there is a long way to go in the transfer wi...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (a)

We are losing out on signings who would prefer Stevenage, Port Vale, and Burton Albion to us. I fear for us as I just cannot see where goals are going to come from and the current squad is painfully under-resourced. Would not be surprised if Lincoln score three or four. Such a huge leap there. In t...

Re: Liam Fraser

Nice. Does make me worry about Bowler though considering how quickly this one has gone through. Being optimistic, I would have thought that Fraser being on a free would mean it would be quicker to conclude. We also don't know how long it has been in the works; Bowler's name has been around for long...
