Ince out!

[YorkshireRoyal99]

How many of us would be happy to see Paul Ince as manager of Reading at the start of next season if it meant the club avoiding relegation this season?

Or

Is there really any supporter out there that’d rather Paul got the push over the club staying up?

The first question is a false one and the two things are not linked. Staying up is not dependent or linked to Paul Ince being here next season.

I think Paul Ince being our manager next season is a bigger threat to my enjoyment of it than what division we're in. But again, the two things are completely unlinked.

I think we'd see at least a gradual shift away from what we've done this season, regardless of who is in charge or the division we are playing in.

Actually being able to compete on more fronts in terms of wages and being able to pay, likely small, transfer fees for players would be a step in the right direction for us.

Has he gone yet?

Mr Dai is a business man. All he will do is look at the numbers. We're in the relegation zone (haven't been there for a couple of seasons) and our win figure are poor.

[6ft Kerplunk]

Doubt it's in the agreed business plan that we've got the budget to sack Ince and get someone else in so if he goes it'll be an in-house appointment.

Hunt and/or Bowen to replace him.

[Royal_jimmy]

We'll bin Ince when we are relegated and he won't give a toss. He'll go back to the golf course

It'll just come out of our summer budget if we hired a new manager.

Sadly I feel it's too late now. We're done. A new manager probably won't do anything.

Thank you Dai Yongge. You useless fool

[Notts Royal]

Should’ve been sacked 2 months ago now.

Really detest his post-match interviews; he’s completely deluded & doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation.

The only person at the club I detest more is Dai Yongee who’s oxf*rd up the club we love

[Lower West]

doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation.

Bet you don't go on on a public forum such as Facebook and slate your employer. Why would you as long as you are getting paid. As a professional you do the job to the best of your ability with the resources available. Your personal opinion is irrelevant. Leave on your own terms.

So where do we start with his I terview?
The laughing and jokey bits? The fact he said he doesn't know why we always go passive after we score?...even though he is the manager.
The comment we were the better team?
Not once did he talk tactics and where it went wrong. He seems absolutely clueless. F*ck knows what he does in training, because it isn't gameplans.

[Loafer]

if he doesnt go then I will not be going anymore

You don`t anyway.

I can understand him not knowing why the team would go passive once, maybe twice in a season but not virtually every game that the team manage to take the lead in.

Logically it would be too many defensive minded players in the team which has been a big problem in his team selections so should be something you’d think he could work out fairly easily. Either change the team round more or work on a game plan - including the rare event of taking the lead.

how do you know?

[NathStPaul]

I think I could cut Ince a bit of slack if I felt he was taking the job seriously. His interview on BBC Berks was appalling.

[Ascotexgunner]

Apparently Blackpool sacked him by text and it angered him. Hopefully we are better than that.....an email should suffice.

[Blackbag]

Probably been said but obviously it’s in my opinion 1 from 5 now. sacking Ince wouldn’t do anything it’s to late it’s not going to happen anyway. We have to try and get behind the team I think we can beat Preston the games are coming thick and fast so let’s not get to down beat

I'm reminded of the three 0-3's Coppell experienced over Christmas where he said he didn't know why things weren't working, but he'd keep at it.

The difference is, you can actually see why it isn't working with Ince. Because there's no game plan. No organisation and our entire plan is go long to Carroll. Before the goal we were barely in it. We then get some space in midfield and string an excellent move together and score. After that we go back to banging every second or third pass long to no effect and constantly losing the ball. That's not a question of players just on a poor run and things going against them, it's terrible coaching and tactics from the ground up.

When you play to the feet or Fornah, Azeez, Joao, Carroll, Long, Casadei, Hendrick, NGW, Yiadom, there's skill there. But Ince has spent all season telling them they're shit and can't play football, and their only hope is hoofball. I wonder why they aren't doing well.

We need a phone hacker to send him a text tonight - please!

Well quite. Ince doesn’t have any tactics other than long to Carroll for no runner to receive.

That’s it. We play to not lose because Ince doesn’t understand how to set a team up to compete and win.

What infuriated me today, he didn't know anything about the referee, surely a manager should have some idea about them, think Ince is coasting this job. Anyhow thought I'd check whether Ince should know about the referee with the old chatbot.

[2023-04-07 13:09:36] assistant: Yes, it is quite common for top-level soccer managers to research referees before games. They often study the referee's previous performances, style of officiating, any potential biases or tendencies, as well as any disciplinary actions taken against them by the football authorities.

By researching referees before games, managers can better prepare their team for the match and tailor their tactics, taking into account the referee's style of officiating. For instance, if they know a referee is known to be lenient or strict with bookings, the team can adjust their playing style accordingly.

Additionally, by researching the referee's previous performances, managers can identify any potential factors that could influence the referee's decisions, such as previous controversial calls, which can inform their team's approach to the game.

Overall, by researching referees before games, managers seek to gain a competitive edge by leveraging any insights they can gather, giving their team the best chance of success.

Think his lazyness is why we're going down, his lack of tactical intelligence is simply that he don't put the time in to the right things, god knows what our coaching is like, cause players have simply got worse as the seasons gone on
