UpNorth Unfortunately Coppell's latest pronouncements on Reading World indicate he is seriously considering continuing with the Hunt 'experiment' and not investing in a new left back because 'they are so difficult to come by'. He has been very impressed with Hunt's performances.
One is left with the suspicion that there is little if any money to spend on new players.

2.8 lita injection This is all starting to really annoy me now, they have known that Shorey has been looking to leave for over a year now so they should have a plan/shortlist already in place. Plus playing one of your best players out of position as cover is ridiculous at this level, I know what will happen when Murty is fit is that he will play him at right back and move Rosenior to left back which will ruin any chance for Rosenior to show some form and get the crowd on his side.
I dont want to hear anymore spin from the club about signing someone, just go out their and sign a left back ffs.
The midfield is looking week so we really need Stephen Hunt in midfield and i thought i would never say that.

Streets If we don't replace Shorey before the closing of the window, AND we struggle, boy is it going to kick the management in the teeth.
Serious serious lack of investment here, and I'm not convinced we can hold Coppell 100% accountable either. But he has to be man enough to say what he wants and make sure he gets it. He knows the money that has come through those doors better than anyone, and he too must be frustrated as to why he can't use it.
I gotta tell ya, I'm pretty much losing confidence in everyone at the club.
I still find it hard to accept that we missed out on a european place by one goal and didn't build on it. Now look at us, relegated and STILL not building on it, and money IS THERE.
Just fed up with it really. Hard to accept.

Spot on. Shorey was going to West Ham a year ago...and only stayed because we could not find a replacement. Surely the club could have sourced a replacement by now. Playing Hunt as a makeshift left back seems a bit of a cop(pel) out to me...not that I want Steve out but for gods sake lets get a recognised left back replacement

howser I cant see Coppell being sacked as I think they would struggle to find a decent manager come to a club, who after 2 years of the Premiership and 2 years of Premiership money, are so fickle in the transfer market, most new managers want a guarantee on funds to spend on new players. We are not the best payers in the Championship and were not the best payers in the Premiership so the burning question has to be what is 2 years of Premiership and TV Premiership money being used for, other than the owners coffers ?? any answers to that would be much appreciated not only by me but the majority on here!

Vision Also agree with SOB that even if Hunt proves to be an outstanding left back , then we've still no cover for the left midfield berth.

Agree. They should be given until the end of the transfer window to sort this out...however, if they don't then there will be uproar amongst the majoirty of fans and I expect the Madejski Out! chants to be very evident, and thoroughly deserved.
This might be the thing that makes the RTG's see through the constant lies and spin from the club.
