No.
You really know nothing. I'd settle yourself down before you get yourself in trouble again, been a bad few days for you.

No trouble, what you whining about?

He's left purely of his own accord for his own personal reasons.

‘Small announcement. As of yesterday I resigned from my role. A difficult decision but one which will be a huge benefit to my career. Been a pleasure speaking to the vast majority of you. I hope to continue covering games to help out but will be far less active. It has been an absolute pleasure and I wish you all a far happier season than last year brought you. Stick together, back the team and most importantly enjoy yourselves. Sorry things haven’t always been perfect but did the best I could with limited time/resources’

Look what you lot done, big bunch’a bullies!
This can only be an improvement to the Chronicle's coverage of Reading FC. A truly appalling journalist if he can be called that. From my own experience, the negative comments you hear about him pretty much confirms his personality. If the right appointment is made, maybe just maybe Reading FC might be a bit more receptive to this media outlet.

Fully agree that whinging about it doesn’t help though, and I thought the retweeting of the leaked kit for example was an appalling misjudgement even though it seems a minor thing.

Sad thing is, again CFs actual report from the press conf after the game was pretty good and informative
I reckon the kit thing could have been the final nail you know. Bet someone had a word from Reading FC.
Nope. Purely down to career progression.

That's the great thing about opinions. I disagree.

And I ain't no shrinking violet, I'm going nowhere.

Whatever people have to say about the local reporters, they seem like the most normal people on twitter at the moment, look at the state of the #readingfc hashtag at the moment, troll accounts, people responding to troll accounts giving them more ammunition and some people who can't accept other people's opinions. Look at the state of it. Although I think we should give Clement a bit of time, I do take your point and I see Clement as more of a coach than a manager, but time will tell. Feel sorry for you especially as one of your Twitter followers.

Clearly boozed up on the wind up thinking it was hilarious. He should probs admit that it was all a bit embarrassing.
