Next Reading Manager

[Stranded]

Dann extended already though didn’t he ?

I’d think 6 would be definite

Yiadom
Holmes
Azeez
Rino
Laurent
Hoilett

Morrison I’d question unless there is a coaching option but I have no idea what his coaching credentials are. Extending Dann’s Deal looks an error as I think we need one or the other, not both.

Would be very happy if we could get those 6 back.

Not sure about Hoilett. If there is a younger option out there of similar ability I would much rather go down that route. Not saying he is awful by any means, would rather just look to the future.

Agreed but think Ince likes him - has a decent work ethic, most games, and offers something going forward - maybe a younger option that can share the workload would be worthwhile. I would imagine Hoilett will sign if we want him as he has his one and only chance to play in a WC coming up and won't want to risk being without a club (though imagine he could easily get a move to the MLS if needs be).

[NathStPaul]

If you got those back we could line up something like

Southwood
Yiadom Dann Holmes McIntyre
Rino Laurent
Meite Ejaria Hoilett
Joao

Jokull, Tetek, Moore, Clarke, Ehib

Without making another signing. Which doesn’t look miles off when you add some freebies into the mix. Probably about where we want to get to in the next month or so

I wouldn't want to be starting the season with Southwood tbh. I think we have seen enough to suggest the Championship is a bit above his level. No issue with his shot stopping but his command of the box is really poor. We really need to bring in an experienced keeper who can marshall what is a pretty ropey defence imo.

Paul Ince on keeping his son at #ReadingFC:

“If I’m here or not I’d tell him to sign here as it’s a great place but players out of contract always get offers so that’s something he’d have to consider.

If I stay, he’s definitely staying, he’s got no choice then.”

Yiadom surely

I’d be surprised if he wanted Morro and Dann on playing contracts

Forgot about Yiadom. Fair point on Ince as more of a signing.

Morrison - I agree we shouldn't have him and Dann and was when I started stretching. I'd have had him over Dann most days though. As I've said from before Dann signed on longer.

If we managed to play that defence for 25 games in a season I'd be surprised. And it's slower than a zamboni. We'd be in real trouble.

Yeah not ideal but very much a starting point (obvs would not want TMc at Lb)

Would need a decent LB and a pacy CB imo

[Ascotexgunner]

I wish fans and BBCRB would knock the Dyche option on the head. It's not an option and he ain't coming.

Fukking dumb arses.

[Zip]

A bit worried that Azeez cannot last more than a few games before getting injured.
We cannot have another season of being in a perpetual injury crisis so the club really need to check injury records for any potential new signing

[PieEater]

I think Ince did a great job to keep us up but those last 3 defeats doesn't bode well.

My vote is for Warburton if he doesn't resign with QPR

[YorkshireRoyal99]

We could probably move McIntyre into midfield which would cover for one of Rino/Laurent leaving as he seems as if he may be capable there with a bit more experience. That then frees up a spot at CB to bring in someone with a bit of pace.

The key areas for me are definitely getting Yiadom, Holmes, Rino/Laurent (preferably both) and Hoilett signed on for next season minimum. Then we need a GK, left back (possibly another full back as well), another CB, a creative midfielder (or two), possibly another wide option and a CF option. That would mean Moore and Puscas leaving the club also.

I wouldn't be too disappointed at losing Morrison, Thomas, Barker or Nyland to be honest. Morrison maybe moving into a coaching role with the U18's or something, depending on if he's qualified.

[Lower West]

Given the players have no more idea as to what's going on than we do. Then not unreasonable that they would be open to offers and their agents freely touting them.

[Crowbar6753]

Well that's it, season over and done with!! Things now get interesting....next week should see a lot happening, starting with Paul Ince and then finding out who's leaving and who's staying.
I like Paul Ince, and i'm sure the fans will always be indebted for keeping us in the Championship under tough circumstances and for that i commend him.
However, the last three games have been terrible, lethargic and lackluster to say the least and his post match comments have baffled me!! and don't bode well for the future, so for this reason i'm out.

[karbota]

Assuming the thick racist is talking about parky again?

Wouldn't want him near our club, can't even get his team with a league 1 budget to go top of the league

And he has never ever cut it at this level as a successful manager

ince in

Wrexham beat Stockport 3-0 top of the league Simps I bet you're feeling extra-thick right now.

Gotta be Parky.

[karbota]

Short and long term.

Gotta be Parky's turn teamed up with the Mad Dog Allen.

He can’t even cut it in non League with a vast budget and huge crowds at that level. Absolutely not.

Bet you feel a bit foolish now Top of the league.

Gotta be Parky.

I was looking forward to hearing about the retained / leaving list and news on Ince’s future.

But then I remembered just how poor our comms and leadership currently is - we will more than likely hear nothing at all until pre season training resumes in July.

Just 6 weeks away. The clock is already ticking.

Extremely well funded National League team vs Basketcase Championship team.

If Parky can keep doing well sure but right now, he's not on our level.
