New manager Brendan Rodgers *confirmed*

[Focher]

surely its got to be Curbishley, his post xmas collapses are more spectacular than Coppells.

Failing that get Trevor 'The Elastic Spastic' Senior back at the club.

[Kieron1981]

Lawie Sanchez FTW

Failing that alex furgison

[BobKnows]

Claudio Ranieri for a laugh
More realistically Curbs - has the right attitude, used to budget constraints
Would be fairly happy with an "up and coming" like Rodgers or Ferguson
Would prefer not to have some old premiershipship has-been (Curbs excepted obviously!) or someone with sentimental links with Reading only...

[rg6royal]

Curbishley or Boothroyd

[Isaac Hunt]

I'm pretty sure that Alan Curbishley was quoted fairly recently (pre Keane's appointment at Ipswich) saying that he'd not take a job outside the Premier League. It would be a decent appointment, but I'd be surprised.

Personally, i would welcome a manager that can deliver the style of football that Jan Poortvliet did at Southampton - minus the relegation of course!

Please not Sanchez or Boothroyd.

"Direct" Football is great when things are going you're way....but when they're not a team's deficiencies are easily magnified. This has been all too clear since January.

Sky sports has just said that Gus Poyet is interested.

Must admit he's been a sucess most places he's been and he lives local

Yeah go on, Likeable charachter too!

Better still, play him instead of Kebe.

According to some bookies a lot of "informed" money has been placed on Rogers that have seen his odds drop as low as evens with some bookies.

Er lets not, he successfully killed Bridgwater town 2 seasons ago

[Millsy]

I'm feeling physically sick.

Coppell walks away and we're discussing relative cretins as possible replacements who at best will achieve what Coppell achieved at his lowest and darkest hour - playoffs.

It feels a bit like being dumped.

I want to f**king puke.

[LoyalRoyal22]

My top3 choices would be..

Curbishley
Rodgers
Hoddle

or possibly Martinez, Jewell

[winchester_royal]

Looks like all the money is for Rodgers at the moment.

Both Tisdale and Poyet have been touted on Sky Sports.

Would be happy with any of those 3 tbh, and if we do look to promote from within then Dolan would be a sound choice also.

The future's bright, the future's blue and white.

[Terminal Boardom]

Put MVP in charge. I could do with a good laugh. And then deport the fuckwit to Australia.
