New manager rumours and speculation

[blythspartan]

Oh no, Cotterill has left Shrewsbury.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Got my wilder tattoo hope it’s not a waste of money

What part of your body is that actually on? Can’t work it out

Back of my hand

I thought it was your back.

Oh no, Cotterill has left Shrewsbury.

Going to Celtic.

Ryan Mason offered a role in Ange Postecoglou's backroom staff

Spurs will not cut Mason loose and are set to offer him a role after discussions with Postecoglou, but it remains to be seen if the former England midfielder would rather cut his teeth elsewhere.

Well the Chronicle stuck their neck out about 2 - 3 weeks ago and said we’d have a new manager within 2 weeks so that was bollox.

I can’t see Wilder joining now so god knows who we’ll end up with. I’ll be happy with Jones, but I can’t help thinking it will be someone completely unexpected and a few days before the season starts.

[Snowflake Royal]

Until Wilder is appointed elsewhere, or we appoint someone else, I refuse to give up hope.

Lee Bowyer in Reading this evening at Miller & Carter. Hope he enjoyed his steak.

Longer it goes on, feels more and more like we'll end up with Noel Hunt again

a lot of fully grown adults pissing their pants over this

The twitter comments are a cauldron of over-reactions every time the club tweets something that isn't a manager appointment.

The longer we go without a manager (and backroom staff, and players) the more money we save as we're not paying their wages

And the more the club are losing out in a cohesive plan in recruitment and season ticket sales (though, given Reading's recent record, when a manager is finally appointed odds on it'll kill both elements stone dead).

May as well pop this in here. Alan Nixon responding to a mate on Twitter.

"Reading have money for next season. Decent money."

"Waiting on a decision from Wilder ... but that's been the way for well over a week."

I think that’s the Puscas money - obvs depending on Dai letting us spend it. Assume it’s no itk knowledge as such

The only way we get Hunt is if we'd already appointed him at the end of the season.

There's a ridiculous amount of impatience and handwringing on display.

Bollox. We have Bowen and Carey et al. Managers are rarely heavily involved in signings these days.

My god twitter is unbearable at the moment, I`m surprised there aren`t mass suicides in the region. it`s June the fucking 8th for goodness sake.

But given the club is a fecking shambles the sooner someone comes in the better. It’s a short turn around this season with the World Cup. 3 weeks to pre season training and 4 weeks the season start’s. Not long to look for players and implement a style of play.
