Reading will get 1st choice as they are being proactive!

[Dorset Seagull]

Unlike us Reading has realised they have not reached their potential under their current manager and taken the necessary action.....

I bet they snap up Pulis, leaving us 2nd best again because no one up top can appear to make a decision......if our strap line is "one club one ambition" then that's a bold statement that needs backing up with bold decisions !!!

It appears that you have already made a decision based on very few facts but those at the top have made a decision based on all the facts.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

I bet Reading don't snap up Pulis.
Eamon Dolan ( from the Academy ) is my bet. Knows all the youngsters a la Kit Symons and won't be the most expensive option around

We are now an employment basket-case, managers at the top level are no longer queueing up to join the Bloom bus.

Do not think that is the case, plenty of out of work managers and very few jobs. It all depends what Tony offers a manager, regarding wages,control over buying players and what money he has to spend. We have a great infrastructure and stadium and a lot of potential.

 

[Silverhatch]

This unfortunately is, I suspect, increasingly going to be the case despite the stadium and training facilities.

This is football you're talking about. An industry where people will crawl over their burning granny to get a job.

But the club can make a decision. They decided to stick with Hyypia, it is just not the one you want. Also is not sticking with him the definition of a bold statement? So what exactly is your problem other than they are not doing what you want?

So u fancy the rest of the season with Hyppia in charge.........We are dithering around like we did recruiting him in the 1st place and like we did in the summer transfer window...... I believe we do have a squad that is should be better placed than we currently are, however that squad is not being given the direction and leadership it requires........Ogrady and Baldock scored something like 39 goals between them last season and O'grady was playing with worse players than in our current squad .....the system is wrong and it needs changing we can all see that

Reading seem to know what they are doing and appear to actually have a plan to rectify something that's not right .....we however are just letting it happen .......I don't have all the facts ur right, but I can see Reading reacting and I don't see us doing anything

PD's post looks more like an opinion than a decision to me.

 

[Frutos]

Reading have appointed Steve Clarke.

 

[stripeyshark]

Anyone else think the timing of the decision has something to do with the announcement on who has a transfer embargo? Clarke knows he will now be able to bring in who he likes.

Just because you don't see us doing anything doesn't mean we aren't. Assuming we are actually able to or want to do something

actions speak louder than words my friend ...............we have no actions

That's not what I heard

I think Clarke had been sounded out and pencilled in prior to the binning of Adkins, the Lovely John Madejski in action.

Like most sensible chairman. Why would you sack someone without having someone better to replace them?

Because we do things by the book, with due diligence and procedure, and then cock up.

 

[BensGrandad]

You may be right but the club is not dithering if it has decided to stick with the manager. That is decisive, just maybe not the right decision.

May turn out to be the right decision just not a popular one.

From where I'm sitting we don't look like a club with a plan, more like a rudderless ship with a captain that's gone awol.

 

[Triggaaar]

Indeed. Backing Sami will make us a more attractive club for managers as they know they will get a fair crack and not sacked after a month.

That's a fair point I hadn't considered before. I'm not sure whether prospective managers take that into account though, I presume they all think they're infallible, and incapable of losing.

League one and two managers, perhaps.

Nothing to do with Sir John anymore.
