New manager odds

[Maneki Neko]

that said, id take him over stam or pantic

[Forbury Lion]

Formations don't win matches. Performances do. Brian said as much prior to the Blackburn game and said that was a difficult summer ahead to achieve consistency. A month has now passed and the problems still exist. Half a dozen pre-season friendlies to find a blend. Long season ahead I would say.

Really?

Then let's play eight right wingers and two centre-forwards and the keeper can come out play back-and-hand

In the Chinese National team everyone is a right winger, so a precedent has been set.

[Forbury Lion]

I can't see it being a UK manager, wouldn't mind Monk being given a shot

Doesn't your post just contradict itself?!

Unless it's a Thai Monk, who can take charge and bless the players before every match.

Good point. All the Tory party outfield players are right wingers whereas only 8/10 of the Labour Team are

[Pepe the Horseman]

Jaap Stam's been pummeled into 1/10. Done deal by the looks of it.

Just seen Jaap Stam at Paddington station. Reading job? #reading #readingfc

[royalp-we]

Or Jaap is on his way to Manchester for Soccer Aid.

[Binfield Royal]

Bookies seem to think the job is Stams.

Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, William Hill, Coral all no longer offering a market on Next Reading manager

Bet Victor have 2/9 and Betfair have 1/14.

Done deal?

[Forbury Lion]

I predict it will be announced on 8th June as 8 is a lucky number in Japan and that's sort of near Thailand and they seem to like their lucky numbers...... although delaying McDermott's re-signing announcement until a lucky date didn't seem to work for them

[Pepe the Horseman]

That's my b'day x

Only Betfair and Bet Victor had the market priced up

[Hendo]

It was and still is open on SkyBet.

It's about the same distance from Japan to Thailand as it is from England to Canada.

Close enough then.

Of course he was ...

Like someone arriving for talks about a job that pays about £750k a year would arrive by train. And how would he get there from Heathrow - the Rail Air link?

£15k a week for a manager at an average Championship club?

[Pepe the Horseman]

Surely he'd have flown directly to Reading airport?

He was probably out on the piss in London yesterday. Crashed out on a mate's floor and was still too pissed to drive to Reading this morning so got the train. Sensible really.
