Much as I'd hate to see him go, Bryn sitting on the sidelines not playing is just wrong. So if this is what he wants, good luck to him.

One of my all time favourite Reading players and a top bloke. If this is true then I'll be genuinely sad to see him go.

Fantastic servant to the club and the most versatile player that I have seen play in a Reading shirt.*

Last of the 05/06 regulars? Sad to see him go. Great player and really seemed to love RFC and a lovely wife IIRC.

Now that's a dream to savour - ten minutes to go, promotion in the bag, bring on Gunnar for a cameo love fest.

In any other era, would have been a guaranteed starter week in, week out. Like Ivar, quality both on and off the pitch. Many times written off (how many "Gunnarsson must never play for MY team" comments were made on this board) yet always answered his critics.

End of an era. Used to live a few doors away from him as well!

Oh no. :cry:

I would rather him be playing than sitting on our bench though!

The very best of luck and get your coaching badges and come back!

A great servant to the club, an integral part of our most succesful era and a really top person to boot; will also become a fantastic manager in the not too distant future.

Cheers Bryn, thanks for the memories (the nutmeg to set up Shane's winner v Liverpool, and rattling the crossbar v Man Utd in the dying minutes of the Cup replay come immediately to mind!) and all the best for the future.

Really is the end of an era. An absolute top pro and player.

Hopefully he's just going there for his summer holidays and we will see him back at some time in the future in a coaching or other capacity.

Future Reading manager?
