Maybe. But I reckon QPR will drop like a sack of shit over the next few seasons.

Poyet to Reading thread, massively odds on, (maybe) in talks with them [merged]
My four penny worth.
Like someone else mentioned, I've always got the impression Gus thinks he's just that bit bigger than the club and his post match interviews have always come across as a bit pompous.
He's clearly ambitious and Reading have massaged his already big ego.
The very fact he's thinking about this is disappointing for me - the implication is that he'll be off sooner rather than later anyway. If it's not Reading it will be another slightly higher club.
Very disappointed in him.

Depends who is in charge.
That Mail story actually makes me more hopeful. Clearly Gus' advisers are thrashing out a deal in case he wants it, but it seems he's definitely not decided to leave yet. Reckon he's strengthening his bargaining position within Brighton by demonstrating he has other options, but would be very surprised if he ultimately left for Reading.
think this is likely to happen unfortunately. Find it hard to understand why poyet would go there? Certainly no bigger than us in terms of fan base etc, indeed I would say he has as much chance of establishing BHA in prem as Reading. The only thing is paracute payment which if he leave for that says a lot about his comments about moving for big club and building club etc.. Concerned that he will come back for our players, hope bloom plays hard ball there. Not a great way for this to end and certainly would tarnish poyet for me.

Am I the only one who has woken up thinking that I will be really angry if Poyet goes to Reading.
Over the last few years Poyet has been saying that it would take "something special" to leave Brighton and yet he is reported to be in talks with...READING??!??
A relegation bound, debt ridden club going the same way as Blackburn!!!
Yeah good luck Gus!

Again, if this is true (and i'm not saying it is) TB should sack him now. End of.
From an outsiders view.
Do you think gus is being clever here, he knows if he doesnt at least get into play offs he will be seen as a failure (rightly or wrongly) and his stock will drop, and it's very much in the balance.
Leaves now and keeps reading up/glorious failure and his stock rises again, also clubs will take him more seriously as he has managed in the premiership albeit briefly.

Really? Same way as Blackburn?

Gus is a human being.
Hopefully the worst case scenario will be, that he meets up, hears what they have to say, how much he'll have to spend, compares the clubs and decides, I have a job to finish at the Albion.

Also, this has Redknapp and England all over it. Yourform will drop like a stone now sadly

No I agree with you, I certainly don't want him to go but the fact he is seriously considering Reading makes me think he was lying the whole time and just wanted a better offer. Not I'm saying there is anything wrong with that, just isn't what he claimed was his position.
It will be a shame if he leaves as I believe he is building something special here, although with the right replacement that can continue ( see Swansea ).
What I won't miss is his moaning and constant self promotion.

Yep that's my thinking. Rescue Reading, job done. Chelsea coming calling, he has the job of his dreams.

That would show that he hasn't got the faith in his own ability, which I doubt tbh. The playoffs are definitely within reach, if he has doubts he can motivate this team to get into them maybe he's not the right man for the job anyway?? I would have expected him to see our current situation as one to see through, at least until the summer.
There is more to this than the playing front.

Yeah and then face a massive claim from Gus for unfair dismissal. Gus is doing nothing wrong in speaking to a potential new employer. Should your boss sack you if you attend an interview for job with different company?

On the flip side ... They get relegated and he doesn't get them back up with funds available. Would put him further away from his dream job than ever.
Not so sure.
They are within reach of course, but what is more likely promotion via the play offs or reading staying up?
Having seen Poyet in the press he is all about self promotion, and he will be able to do that in the premiership better than he could in the championship even if it's for a couple of months
I think you would be better off with out him, there are plenty of better managers out there who have achieved promotion. Maybe thats what you need, a manager that concentrates on the team rather than himself?
I would bet he would leave if they went down citing broken promises more than likely.

I cannot see why Poyet would want to leave for Reading.... They are as good as relegated, have they the funds to take them back up? I don't want him to go but if someone like Chelsea came in for him, then I would understand. Brighton are going places, hopefully in the play offs .... with the Ground, new training facilities being built, and good squad of players and a club with ambition.... Is Reading the better option?
