WoodleyRoyal I tell you what. The silence from the players is deafening... has any player said anything since the news started to break yesterday. Or even prior too the sacking. Any quotes from the captain saying ‘ he’s the right man for the job we need to back him we as players are fully behind him’ . Has any single player over the last few weeks backed the manager publicly?

He had lost the dressing room.
not like you to jump to conclusions :lol:

What about someone with a connection / passion for the club:- Graeme Murty?
Couldn't do a worse job than the last few managers.

:lol: Touché. But the point still stands, when a manager is liked players publicly back the manager. Saying things like it’s us the players who need to shoulder the blame. This hasn’t happened. Prior to or after.

More than likely the players have been told to shut up about it isn't it?

Agree that they (the players) have been very compliant with their paymasters wishes.

Expect the platitudes will come out over the next few days now that the deed has been done.

Rafa saying he's the most amazing person he met in football.

Mind you, he's not saying "I learned so much" - I think we all know Gomes is a lovely guy.

So, who reckons we'll go into the next game with a new manager and who reckons we'll have a caretaker?

If we have a caretaker, who? Marshall again? Bowen? O'Shit?

Ian is being very coy on the subject, clearly he's in talks.

Seems to be the obvious choice...if only for an interim ten months

Ascotexgunner
2 world wars, 1 world cup
Ascotexgunner Sparky is a very decent manager and.....he is scary as well.
I remember watching Wales when he was manager and after an appalling first 45 against Belarus walked past me at half time. You wouldn't f*ck with him and Id have hated to have been one of the players. Second half....different story...came straight out and Johnny Hartson did the biz.

I don't get the hatred and slagging off he gets.
He got Fulham into the Europa league ffs.....
Three top 10 finishes with City in the PL when they were not that.
Got sh*tty Stoke to 9th in the PL.
Saved Southampton from relegation when they were really in the pooh!!!!
Yeah I know he got sacked the following season but to be fair to him the board pulled the rug from under him and offloaded any talent that team had that summer....
He has a good pedigree and if Houghton wasn't available I would take him like a shot.

Wondered if we could have a Wales Day as well :wink:


Thanks that's good to read. Ideally Gomes will have a short chance but if not and MH is our man then it's cheered me up a bit because I've not been too excited otherwise.


Cheers. a criticism of Gomes when he arrived (and its just my opinion) is that I don't think he was 100% focused. He never hid the fact that he would listen to offers from bigger clubs. I think he is a bit of a dreamer.
One thing is certain, you know what you get with Hughes. He will give it his all and he has a big point to prove.



Oh maybe I wasn't paying attention but I didn't get that impression. Seemed to me like he loved Reading and wanted to make it work here. No problem with ambition to want to be in the PL. At least it was honest unlike bastards like Parjudas, FSB, Clarke etc.

Sad to see him go. I used not to like Portuguese football fans and players after the cheating shites against England and the arrogant unapologetic nature of almost every Portugal fan I've ever met. But Gomes changed the narrow minded way I think of them. Really very likeable guy. Will miss him.
