Delighted to see Richard's made his Under21 debut. He deserves it. He really stepped it up. Yes, JG and his team really did seem to have brought Omar Richards much closer to fulfilling his potential so much so that most of us didn’t understand why Jordan Obita took his place when he regained fitness.

Neil Harris now in the betting at 8/1

GetReading have also suggested Ian Culverhouse and Željko Buvač if the club was looking for some real leftfield options though on no real grounds other than who they’ve worked with as assistants.

Southgate out. Fold the country.

Binfield Royal Kevin Watson has just been made Manager of Ebbsfleet

First game is at home to Maidenhead I believe

I suggest forming a ring of 9 around the best dribbler in the team and moving up the pitch as if one unit then belt the ball over the bar from 3 foot out as would be the Reading way

Next name being linked in the media with shortening odds is a certain Roy Keane.....

Luis Figo moving up the odds lists - more Portuguese football? Randomly Figo was in Guildford quite recently. I know, I know. Seriously tenuous! :lol: Yes just seen on twitter - odds have come in from 100 to 20's Got to make a bet there, if nothing else just to keep the LOLs going and to see if eno...

genome According to Lyon's chairman Mourinho has chosen his next job, and it's in England. Can't see him going back to United, he won't go to Everton, so... Spurs?!

Reading

You just know it’ll be Mark Bowen as the next manager though don’t you At least he’s a former player (1 game was it, back in 1999?) Reading have had more success with appointing new managers in their first role than they have any other type of manager eg. Branfoot, McGhee, Pardew, McDermott so perha...

Seems Mark Bowen is a serious contender and reported odds on favourite

Just realised Tony Pulis is available....

Tuned into BBC Berks this morning and Ady WIlliams was talking to Andrew Peach and they had a bookie on the line giving odds on the next manager...... I assumed that mean't Gomes had been sacked, but turns out that wasn't the case. When Peach asked Ady if all this speculation/social media stuff cou...

I notice that in addition to Mark Bowen Mr Hughes’ seems also to have worked a lot with former Reading assistant and caretaker manager Eddie Niedzwiecki.

Wondering if Eddie may also be part of any managerial change.

The Chronicle saying that is is reported that talks are underway with Mr Hughes

Old Man Andrews We need Ian Royal at the helm. Safe pair of hands.

Shame on you for no Gareth Ainsworth as a poll option too.

Now with added Gareth.

That reset the pole

6th in the table, not exactly doing badly, but their fans seem pretty happy he's gone. Saw on Twitter that only Liverpool and Man City have lost less games (in the top 4 divisions) since he took over. I guess there has been too many draws. Indeed - just ten defeats in 75 games in charge, but 27 dra...

Well it looks like that the axe has fallen on Jose’s tenure. Reliable sources saying it will be confirmed in 48 hours (so presumably are thrashing out compensation and lining up replacements).

So time to run the annual ( ) who should be the next manager of Reading FC poll

Brazilian Werick Caetano has now signed for the Academy for the rest of the season.

According to the local media JG was summoned for a showdown meeting this evening (7 Oct) with the board. I presume that the outcome of this will be more along the lines of what is the problem and how do you intend to fix it rather than so long and thanks for all the fish. However it may also be that...
