Fall on your sword

[Ian Royal]

But a new manager won't rate half of Brendan's purchases, so JM will have to fork out again in January to get some better players in. I doubt he'll do it with a smile on his face, if he does it at all!

He's going to have to do that anyway. And we have the players to do this. Just not the manager.

We dont have the players though, we have very little quality and its been a massive rebuild of the squad

Rodgers transfer dealings have been disappointing yes, and ulitmately its his squad and he know what he was coming in to when he took the job, but we dont have the players to be play off contenders, we have the players to be in and around the lower mid table, and any squad in that kind of position is going to flirt with relegation at times

We do.

How do the points per game work out after we stuffed Brum 3-1?

That points per game posted was for the 22 games AFTER B'ham (6 wins 10 draws). All season and it will be much much better than that. 1.67 for the record.

Even the most selective sample (20 games between B'ham and Derby), Coppell averages over a point a game.

oxf*rd!

[Sir Rodger Doyle]

To be fair SRD, Ideal has been saying this all season long. He has seen all this from afar! He has had enough ridicule but he has been fully vindicated in his refusal to accept the emperor's new clothes that many of us chose to see and blindly accept.

I understand the frustration of many on here. I just feel that with what we have been left with after the "superb running of the club" we should give the Manager more time, and certainly not blame him for the position we are in. If he was managing the squad we had at the start of last season I would feel differently.

The frustrating thing Rodge is that we can all see what the problem is. Unfortunately, the one person who is paid to sort out the problem is sat on his fat arse or stood moping in the technical area. Rhetoric Man is not doing what he is paid to do. He is not putting right what is wrong on the pitch. Now why is that? Why can't Big Watch Tank Top Man make the necessary changes? The answer is because he is incapable of making the big decision and then acting on it. He is a coward. He is out of his depth. He lacks the knowldge, skill or ability. He is inept. All he knows is talk.

What big decision is that then?

I don't think he has been given a proper chance yet.

[Man Friday]

He has provided no evidence that he should be shown a "proper" chance. Look at his signings FFS.

[Terminal Boardom]

The big decison during a game is to change tactics. To change the formation. We are being regularly raped out wide and he does feck all. He lets games drift away from us without a care in the world.

I am all for giving people a chance. But the total lack of anything apart from indifference from the players is not good enough. And The prat on the touchline says we should be top of the league. The man is Walter Mitty. For this, and the inability to inspire the players and to have them fit for purpose is sufficient to put the rope around his neck.

How about a points per game comparison with Wenger's Arsenal from the start of last season?

Do it yourself, I couldn't give a oxf*rd.

Cummings, Rasiak, Howard. Three reasons to sack the manager.

Plus loaning out Davies.

Oh, please feck off. You're as informative as the rest of the wakners that don't see games. In other words not fecking much.

Really, who gives a shit about point averages? Just fcuking relax.

It'll be alright.

What rope is that?

Do you honestly believe that a new manager would be able to persuade SJM to invest in the playing side of the business again?

What do you care about Para? I think Ideal is spot on. Why do you disagree with his assessment of these fine specimens? From where I sit, they are amongst the worst ever to wear the hoops!

Excellent wind-up. You almost had me going there for a moment.

I honestly and sincerely believe that an experienced manager with an experienced back room team would get more out of the shower of shit than Rhetoric Man has managed thus far. There are too many rumours and sounds that fitness is not a priority at Hogwood. Fitness is 9/10ths of the English game. Can you not see?

[Forest Gump]

After the inevitable beating at WBA this deluded individual say, In his post-match delirium: "We are capable of being at the top of the table..."

What the f@ck is he on? The reason why we are so bad is because he is not honest enough to admit that his squad is not good enough for this division. His transfer dealings have failed and he should be brave enough to admit it.

He is not only symptomatic of the current dishonesty that grips the Clubs management he is the only one who can do anything about it. He should have the b@ll@cks to say to JM and his lap-poodle Hammond that this Club is going to fall out of the Division unless you give me proper transfer funding.

My bigggest fear is not that Reading will be at the bottom of the Division moost of the season; this most of us are already resigned to.
My biggest worry is that the Clubs management don't give a toss. JM says he wants to go back to the PL but he is not being totally candid. Let's face it; if he wanted promotion seriously he sould have appointed a manager that was capable.

I don't know what table Rodgers thinks we could be on top of but it's looking like the one in my kitchen rather than anything to do with football.

Total tw@t

[Dirk Gently]

And this needed a new thread ... because?

[Focher]

we are only 9 points off the play offs

I'll agree on the bullshit. But do you not think £3m+ and being one of the top 5 spenders is being given proper transfer funding? We're not in the Premier League now, we're not going to spend £8-10m at this level.

[holsgrove breaks a leg]

add to that putting noses out of joint within weeks of his appointment re the tommy smith saga and the embarrasing end result and the lack of any evidence of his so called passing display of football since Notts F at home.

Termy, may I call you that? I disagree with Ideal because I fundamentally dislike him. I can't take someone seriously that never actually watches games. Actually, that's not entirely true, I could respect someone's opinion if they weren't so vitriolic with so little experience. Oh, and if you think this is the worst team ever to wear the hoops then I guess you've not been watching long.
