paddy20 Anyone with half a brain who listened to Adkins' post match interview tonight would realise just how stupid and absolutely wrong your remarks are.
'Not the type of manager we need or want' ? He is absolutely the type of manager we need. Unlike some of our stupid fans, he realises that it is no good getting promoted to the PL playing Championship 'energy/percentage football' and then trying to adapt when you are there. The PL is far too unforgiving for that and you are simply not given the time and opportunities to change your players and style when you get there. That is the reason McDermott and his squad failed so dramatically last season.
That being the case, you have to change to PL style posession football whilst you are in the Championship and get promoted playing that way. That is what Adkins is trying to do but it isn't a quick process and his task hasn't been made any easier by the squad and preferred playing style of some of the players he inherited. He isn't wanted by some of our fans and the connection with them is missing because they are the greedy and spoilt 21st Century want it now type who fail to realise that you have to work hard to achieve somethings and reward/success doesn't always come over night.
If we stick with Adkins (and Madejski manages to sort out the mess created by his first attempt to sell the club) we will get promoted but it may not be this season or possibly even next. However, when we do get promoted, we will do so in a highly enjoyable and entertaining way and will have a fantastic and very realistic chance of remaining in the PL far longer than we have on the previous two occasions.
Will our owner(s), Chairman, Board and supporters have the patience and nerve required to ensure that this happens or will we end up knee jerking and firing the very manager that we do need?

Royalee No manager is instantly the right 'type'. People bitched about Coppell for not showing enough passion, questioned Pardew and please explain what McGhee's connections with Reading were before he took over as manager? Why don't all you morons quieten down and let the grown ups do their jobs.

RoyalBlueLoyalRoyalFan Granted that the title is badly worded, but to put it simply; Nigel Adkins and the Reading fans will just never get along. He isn't the type of manager we need, or want, and the connection between the fans, most of the playing staff, and Nigel himself just isn't there.
The ownership situation doesn't help, but the feeling around the club is one of negativity, and explains why so many people have chosen to boycott the Adkins Revolution.

LoyalRoyalFansemtex1871 Most Reading fans just don't like change, that's why most continually want the old players to come back so it can be like it always was, it was what they knew.
These are the same people who are born in Reading, have never moved out of Reading, have always worked in Reading......they don't like change.....
Get a grip you 'tards.....
Says the fascist.

sandman The Championship is not a forgiving league and if you plan solely for the Premier League then you're in for a nasty surprise and are going to get found out very quickly, as we're seeing now.

PistolPete Brenden Rodgers tried to get Reading to play football, he knew it would take time, the mongs wanted him out, said he had a bumper book of tactics... Rodgers is now top of the league with Liverpool.
The problem with English football, why Germany have been able to progress and we can't, is that people want two things 1)Immediate success 2) comfort of the familiar.
If we can afford to stay down a season with Adkins it will probably be good for us long term. Just. oxf*rd. Relax.

Unlikeable? What? So you and a few bell ends on an internet forum represent the entire Reading FC fan base? I do not know one person or Reading fan who dislikes him. It's all in your mind. It's what you want, not a fact.

P!ssed Off Majority of people near me at the games seem to dislike him with a passion. One guy said to me "the guy is a complefe joke" yesterday. But maybe I just imagined this conversation.
Every substitution is met with total contempt for the manager.

Prepare for the worst, we are not that many losses away from a huge reaction against the manager.
