Is this the end for Madejski? I certainly hope so! Totally in-appropriate remarks! As Co Chairman his responsibility is to speak on behalf of the board, AND MOST DEFINITELY NOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO AIR HIS OWN THOUGHTS! It really sums him up though doesn't it? Happy with total mediocrity. As long as it...

SIMPLE STAT
Clarke 21 League matches. 27 points
McDermott. 20 League matches. 24 points

Would you renew because you had been entertained and enjoyed this season? NO
Would you renew because you thought it might be better next year? NO
So, why might you renew? HABIT!

Correct. Apologies!

Just ONE win in the last 11 League games, and that was over the mighty Rotherham United (pre Warnock)
All going well isn't it!!!

After the defeat at Brighton last night, Brian McDermott's record in Champioship matches since his return reads:- Played 15. Won. 3. Drawn 5. Lost. 7. Points. 14
Could we still get relegated?

Early days, but I just wondered how everyone viewed BMcD's return to the club?
Six League games in, we have 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats!
Only 4 goals scored, 5 conceded, and 7 points.
Thoughts please!

Aged 34 - Is this really the sort of signing we are looking to make???
UNBELIEVABLE JEFF!!!

NINE goals in his last 81 appearances. Or put another way, one goal every NINE games!
Aged 30, he sounds just like the person we need!

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON! THE MAJOR TURNING POINT IN OUR HISTORY! Steve Sidwell left on a free, and we somehow managed to get £3m from Sunderland for Greg Halford. That £3m was used to buy two totally unknown Africans, Kaliffa Cisse and Emerse Fae. At a time when investment was needed to consolidate our ...

Most disappointing season was the season after finishing 8th in the Premier League, and SJM's penny pinching getting us relegated the next season! That was our chance to establish ourselves at the top table, and he threw it away! Would you care to enlighten as to why you think one man was responsib...

Reading Women's team win Super League 2, and next season will play in WSL 1, a truly fantastic achievement! Congratulations to all connected with the team. How incredibly sad to find that next season in the top division, they will be playing their Home matches at Adams Park (Wycombe Wanderers) READI...

When Brian McDermott was sacked in March 2013, 52% of Hob Nobbers considered that to be the correct decision. Only 39% thought he should have stayed on! Since then, BM has spent 13 largely unsuccessful months at Leeds, and other periods of time as a scout. Curiosity would lead me to ask exactly why ...

11 points clear of the bottom 3 but we have a team of mercenaries not playing for each other let alone for the shirt. The squad clearly needed an overhaul in the summer, but the Thais and Clarke have saddled us with a load of clueless foreign nonentities and has-beens from around the english divisi...

HOOF AND CHASE!
Definitely NO thank you!

Re Alan Stubbs. He is Manager of Hibernian isn't he? A team playing in the Scottish Championship against teams like Alloa Athletic, Livingston, Dumbarton, Raith Rovers, Queen of the South etc etc. Has he the pedigree that we are looking for? And as for Gary Rowett, are we a bigger club than Birmingh...

The team lost, but a very good night for SJM last night! Name on the Stadium, his photograph on the front of the programme, and he took the opportunity to lead the teams out carrying the match ball! And all in front of the Sky cameras. Could he perhaps be the most high profile Co Chairman in the Lea...

IF he even wants to talk to Fulham, it highlights that he is NOT 100% committed to the Reading cause!
I seriously hope that he goes, and asap

What a totally ridiculous situation this is! Just four months ago Clarke brings in a completely new 'back room team' and 12 new players, and now he looks set to go. What price is there on a contract these days, and loyalty to a club. If he wants to go, when the club have backed him so much, then goo...

Whilst this is an obvious decision that makes business sense, it's one of the things I hate about modern football and business whether everything has a soulless (usually) morally dubious sponsor daubed all over it as crass commercialisation. +1. Not a fan of Madejski as a human despite what he did ...
