"Well, this Manager was ... possibly a little hasty earlier and would like to ... reaffirm his allegiance to Reading FC and its human Owners. It may not be perfect, but it's still the best club I have. For now."

LWJ Press conference tomorrow. Expected he will now stay :shock:


GetReading Steve Clarke has rejected the chance to move to Fulham.

Royals’ boss, who only took over at Reading in December last year, looked set to take over at Craven Cottage following talks with the west London club during the past 24 hours.

Speculation increased this morning that an announcement was imminent when Reading cancelled a planned press conference where Clarke was due to speak.

But getreading.co.uk understands he has now made a major u-turn and decided to stay at Madejski Stadium.


Will SSN carry it live?

melonhead if we gave our permission to speak, he spoke, then came back and said yeah, I prefer it here
is that really so bad?

Indeed. If we gave permission for them to talk to him Clarke's hardly going to be feeling wanted here and will want to see what they have to offer.


Oh my word, you are so naïve.

We would have given him permission to talk, because he wanted to talk. We as a club would have told him of the interest and left it up to him. It's not like the interest came in and we just said yes, here is his number. It's really not how these things work.

Your post is ridiculous.

Maybe so. After this, however, a couple of bad results and the crowd will really start to get on his back, he will eventually lose the fans, the players.

I don't see him turning it around. His days are numbered imho.

Yep, I hope so.

He was losing some of the fans as it was. I'd say it was 50/50 now which is dangerous for him.

If there was a chance still of him going, there wouldn't be a press conference tomorrow I wouldn't have thought.

Well this is a bit sh*t. Sorry but if he is itching to talk to them, his heart's not in it here & he'll be out at the next best opportunity.

His days are ultimately numbered now & any rapport with the fans lost overnight. Stupid arrogant man.
