Re: Gourlay

Delboy I emailed Star two weeks ago suggesting they write direct to the Chinese. Making sure not to criticise them but how the club is currently run and managed

Re: Gourlay

So, someone who sticks the knife but in a relaxed way, interesting, if he smiles at you watch out. Sometimes, bad news has to be delivered, but do it a way that makes the people feel as if there is hope or light at the end of the tunnel after the pain. i don't know him but he sounds like he could be...

Re: Gourlay

Just listened to the RG interview with Tim Dellor on the Andrew Peach show. If this man is supposed to energise and inspire the faith, we are doomed. laid back one of the panel said, more like totally horizontal with no chance of getting up. If this man is trying to enthuse, I would hate to listen t...

Re: BFTG - Middlesbrough

JS has to take responsibility and accept criticism, however, the likes of Brian Tevreden and those responsible for bringing in players cannot and should not evade any censure, just what does BT do to earn his crust? on the evidence of this seasons aquisitions, on his watch, Reading Football club has...

Re: Stam's comments - only a matter of time now

Words just like statistics can be interpreted in any way you want, some will hear blunt, honest matter of fact comments and some will hear some subliminal coded meassage that says JS wants out. This is not a James Bond movie, it is football and i think of he wanted out he would say so in very plain ...

Re: Phil Parky's blue and white army

He is a Reading legend and should stay that way. As any other propective manager he would come with no guarantees, he is having a tough time at Bolton, a love for a club and a legendary status is just not enough.

Re: In or Out?

IN without a doubt, last night was an improvement on Saturday, we should have had a penalty but the Ref bottled it, the players have to pick up the pace, we need to be quicker and bolder, they have got to step up to the plate, they have a responsibility too, we can't absolve them and heap it all ont...

Re: Jaap's Radio Comments

Views, opinions, perspectives we all have them in varying degrees, personal, blinkered, irrational, rational, they come in various guises, we think we are right and everybody spends a lot of time and energy telling us we are wrong. it's the cycle of life particularly in football. There is an analogy...

Re: Jaap's Radio Comments

Very unfortunate knee jerk reaction that has led to a spectacular own goal, just about the only kind we seem capable of scoring at the moment. Everyone is frustrated. I think JS will perhaps reflect on his comments and accept that it was not the smartest response from someone who is usually calm whe...

Re: Food vans

As long as people are prepared to queue and pay exorbitant prices for rubbish there is no incentive for the food/drink outlets to change. Until people refuse to to pay for inferior service and food, they will continue to mug you off. For example £2.70 for a bag of Haribos, that can be bought elsewhe...

Re: Is this the end for Madejski?

It's obvious he is having a bit of a hard time adjusting and probably not liking what he sees. He has an ego and he has revelled in the public adulation that he has received over the years, I am not saying he has not deserved it but it has been like oxygen to him. He is no longer King and he cannot ...

Re: Is this the end for Madejski?

I suspect the reality of his position has suddenly hit home, his way of doing things, his control are now all gone and he is no more than a figurehead, a deferential link to the past. I think his frustration and what he sees as not the 'Reading Way' to do things just suddenly go too much and the opp...
