Re: Selles In

Good to see a young manager given time by the owners to learn from mistakes, in very difficult circumstances, rather than respond to knee-jerk demands from bedwetter fans to get rid. More clubs should follow our example. What's with all these weird joke posts. We all know Selles isn't here because ...

Orion1871 Shame. He has so much talent but is throwing his career away.

WTF do you expect, we have been ripped off again by land grabbing asset stripping foreign owners.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Oxford United (h)

Enjoyed that match, the first half was very even but felt we slightly edged it having more chances. Second half Oxford took command as Reading looked tired, bad subs should have been made upfront. MOM was a close call between Sam Smith and Femi Azziz but Azziz did fade 2nd half, Tom Holmes also had...

PieEater Is it really 22 years since the last game? And was that the game Tony Rougier was the star of the show in torrential rain?


Really could do with him tonight, very heavy rain forecast so the game might be off!

Re: Selles out

Don't rise to that one guys. No one is that willfully thick to not know the difference. My point is that Parky has built that winning team through a mixture of shrewd free-transfer deals, player loans, and the use of homegrown talent, rarely dipping into the transfer market and then only paying sma...

Re: Selles out

He's done big expectations and failed before. Our expectations with the right ownership would be essentially instant promotion from L2 or at least pushing for L1 play offs first full season. His recent success is NL and L2 with bags of money to buy success, whilst we can't pay for a signing for at ...

Re: Selles out

I can't. Either we have the right set up and we're too big a job for him, or we have the wrong set up and he should avoid us like the plague. If we get the right set up, we don't become a big job overnight. There would be a L2/L1 rebuild job. He's done big expectations and failed before. Our expect...

Hound
tmesis Even if we did sack him, who would come in, knowing a new owner could come in and decide he wants somebody else in job?


Yeah guess that’s part of the issue


Parky would jump at the opportunity, he would even take a pay cut!

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

From Despair To Where? I just find it amusing that these "EFL are the villains" posts all come from a poster who repeatedly castigated Madejski for not spaffing millions away on the club.

I suppose there's some sort of twisted consistency in it.


CFY, again!

Re: MATCHWATCH : Eastleigh (a)

Ah, a bit unlucky Reading, only one goal in it. Meanwhile, Wrexham have done it again with a 3-0 win over Yeovil, if Parky jumps ship that Jimmy Mullin and Oille Palmer could do a job for us.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Eastleigh (a)

One of the biggest differences was nous and physicality. We were always going to get outmuscled by a stronger, older and more experienced team. That's what happens when the team is (unavoidably) mainly all kids. Having said that, to quote Edmund Blackadder, in the Amazonian rain forests there are t...

Re: Ex Players

Puscas scores in win over Israel yesterday ... it's strange how he continues to play at international level and in Serie A but just not being good enough for the Championship. A genuine question - if he was still at the club, would you pick him over Sam Smith? Yes I would but then I wouldn't play h...

Re: The Mental Health Thread

Very wary of anyone who uses a public forum or social media to advertise their mental health issues. If you are that comfortable to speak about it then use professionals for help rather than random mongs. I think there are a lot of people out there who post publicly about their struggles on social ...
