On Strings Apparently been watching training but not taken a session yet. The club supposedly waiting to learn possible sanctions before making a formal announcement. That doesn't sound like he's signed yet, as was reported by the ex Chronical jouno last week.


Yeah, saw this on Twitter too, along with the fake HMRC documentation.

Yeah, not sure why sanctions have any baring on him signing - either hes signed or he hasn't.

They were clearly wanting to wait until the work permit cleared before announcing this but wanted to distract the supporters due to the HMRC news.

The interesting thing for me is that the statement says he will be tasked with recruitment of players which I suspect would be a break from most of our recent Managers/Head Coaches.

Not possible stranded said he will be a head coach and not a manager and won’t be involved in recruitment

I'd hope he will work closely with Carey and Bowen on this. They should have a list of possibles to discuss with him.

It’s got to be the shortest and weakest official announcement in the history of time hasn’t it?

Nothing about his background or the recruitment process no quotes from Bowen ping or dai saying we are delighted we got our man etc etc

‘ Reading Football Club is pleased to announce that Rubén Sellés is set to sign a contract and become first team manager of the Royals - subject to the club’s successful application for a work visa for the lauded Spanish coach.

The application was submitted at the end of last week and we now await a decision on his work visa before he is able to get to work on revitalising this Royals squad and recruiting players to be part of the rebuild at Reading.’
