percy_freeman Let's all give the man a chance! Taking on a job with a club facing a points deduction after just being relegated in a league 2 below your last club with a transfer embargo......He's either pretty confident he can do a job or an absolute lunatic! If he can secure Walcott as his first signing, I'm in!


As long as you get paid for the job, why worry. No lose situation for him.

I'll back the man for the good of the club. But I have zero confidence this will be anything more than a poor appointment and we'll be back to square one in a year's time. We simply have to stop just taking these random punts and for once go for a steady eddie kind of manager or someone with experience.

Happy to give Selles a chance, everyone deserves a chance.

He can’t really lose we are a basket case he will earn plenty of money as manager so if he does well good for him if he doesn’t, no loss for him, plenty of cash as we drift and he will get sacked with a payout and it doesn’t really hinder his future as he doesn’t have a history as a good manager

Acccording to:

Having watched Mission Impossible II (quite apt for managing Reading) last night I wonder if our new manager could really be Chris Wilder in a Ruben Selles mask.

He may need a body suit as well...

More like Chris Samuelson or Kia Joorabchian under the mask.

Again, not really confirmation, just a poorly written piece hastily thrown together to fill some space.

Am I missing something here? If Peter Sellers is the new manager and on holiday with the lads, wouldn't he, at the very least, have made some sort of announcement to the fans?

Someone on Twitter is claiming that the press have been at the stadium today. Probably bollox but who knows.

It's not like they have anything else to report.

Rumours circulating on Twitter that Selles is about to pull out the deal. Nothing has actually been signed yet and Dai is dragging his feet in signing it off. Selles has given the club 5 days to sort it or he walks.

Could be bullshit, dunno who the bloke is on Twitter that’s saying it, or how he knows. But I wouldn’t put anything past this club at the moment.

I would take anything on Twitter with a pinch of salt. In the last 3 weeks alone I’ve read that Mike Ashley was seen at the stadium, tax bill paid 23 June and confirmation that Walcott had signed.

It’s all bollox and even well known journalists like Nixon are getting it completely wrong. It was only a few weeks ago that he said we’d plenty of money to spend. The club are staying silent for whatever reason and twitter is just full of people making up stories and taking a stab at something that might or might not become true.
