[Old Man Andrews]

Veljko Paunovic would be a fantastic appointment.

Veljko Paunovic would be a fantastic appointment.

I've heard him referred to as the Serbian Gareth Ainsworth.

[SpaghettiHoop]

Messi's on his way as player manager. You heard it here first.

[Millsy]

Why would that be an issue if I was?

Not you mate, genome. If he fancies Ljungberg it means he must be gay.

What if I was?

Oh, not you mate, I meant OMA.

Talksport seem to be confirming it.

Where the oxf*rd tdo they find these guys?

Lost 44 out of 100 games with Chicago fire. Should fit right in

This is real comedy gold.

Word on the street is we're on the verge of signing Nelson Cossio from Chilean club San Bernardo Unido.

The plot thickens.

Is there actually any substance in the rumours of Bowen moving upstairs other than a few local journos spaffing about on Twitter?

Bowen's done an OK job as manager and I think he's good for the club so actually seeing him move to a role with a bit more job security wouldn't be a to bad as long as we replaced him with someone with a bit of nous.

One thing for sure though, the level of clarity and communication from the club is appalling.

Performances and results post lock down were a very long way from 'OK' and may well have led to the Dai's questioning whether Bowen really is the type of coach/manager who can deliver their ambitions. Timing could've been better, although they might have been waiting until they had his replacement lined up, particularly as they are still happy to have Bowen at the club in some form of football related role.

He also won the u20 World Cup with Serbia - won't believe a word of any appointment until they are pictured holding up a scarf.

[Millsy]

I think the team should be managed by HNA via polls.

[Norfolk Royal]

Pretty clear what the chant booming around the Madejski in honour of Paunovic will be if he does well.

[Millsy]

Just so you know, Gareth Ainsworth hasn't officially rejected the idea of becoming our next manager.

[Old Man Andrews]

This Millsy character might be up there as one of the worst posters I have seen on the teamboard. I mean he will never quite get to Westwood's level but he is having a go.

I wouldn't read too much into the post lockdown results.

Jesus I go away for a couple of days and this abortion of a thread appears

And I’m in Portsmouth- which makes it so much worse.

I'm much worse than Westwood, trust me.

You ain't seen nuffink yet.

Little different to the fans questioning what Dai actually knows about football. Whether Reading is simply a plaything in an attempt to break into the Premiership, and all the riches that will go with it.

[Old Man Andrews]

Quinton Fortune coming in as a coach according to JLow.
