So long, and thanks for all the pish.

[P!ssed Off]

He's gone. Thank oxf*rd for that,

edit: feel free to merge, once people realise Big Foot's wind-up has become reality.

[Mr Irascible]

Sky Sports say so.

The board of Reading Football Club have this afternoon relieved Manager Nigel Adkins of his duties.

The Club met with Nigel in person today and we would like to place on permanent record our thanks to him for his hard work and diligence since his appointment in March 2013.

Following this weekend's 6-1 defeat at Birmingham, the board feel that a change in Manager is necessary, with the club 16th in the Sky Bet Championship.

As part of this process, Assistant Manager Andy Crosby and First Team Coach Dean Wilkins will also be leaving the club, and we would also like to thank them for their efforts.

The board of Reading Football Club are committed to taking this club forward and will make a further announcement to our supporters in due course.

Beautiful

Oh well, we move on. At least we can hopefully all pull in the same direction now.

Roll the dice, or money available? I hope it's the latter. Very surprised to see him go before the fans truely got on his back.

For me, a more likeably (and different style) version of Rodgers. Right man, wrong time.

Dolan?


Kudos to Big Foot for a superbly timed joke.

Tony Pullis please

[tidus_mi2]

To think, up until Friday I would have been surprised to see him sacked but the 6-1 defeat was certainly the tipping point, it seemed he was focussing too much on getting his style across when the focus should have been on results.

Pulis is a good shout, that or promote Dolan if he wants the job.

[PieEater]

Who's this board they talk about?

I think his downfall was attempting to defend the players, in particular Cooper and the younger players from any criticism , when in fact they needed criticism and his tactics were a shambles.

Shame to see anyone lose their job, especially at this time of year, but this just had to happen. I'm sure he will go somewhere else and be successful but he just was not a Reading type manager.

[No Fixed Abode]

How much to pay up his contract I wonder.....

FFP.....

[seanboyd_2]

This is a MASSIVE mistake, the board have just relegated this club, should have waited until the end of this season.

Only hope is to get a new manager in now and give him HUGE financial backing in January if they don't do this then we will be going down.

[Sutekh]

I would like Tony Pulis but am expecting Eamon Dolan

[Za Vas]

Cheers Nige, never really worked as well as it should have done.

Good luck and all that but thank fcuk we don't have to listen to exactly the same post match comments every week.

Dolan in with Brynjar no. 2 plz

[Silver Fox]

Happy Fvcking Christmas!!
