So, we've established we can sack Pauno.
Why haven't we? It is because employing a new manager will affect the budget as they will expect paying (along side us still paying Pauno), though with some inventive accounting or try-before-you-by shenanigans we could get around this.
Is there actually a manager out there who would want to come to Reading on a limited wage? Some think we are an attractive proposition due to the talent in the squad. Does Kia not have anyone he can foist on us?
Alternative is to promote from within (player, backroom staff, academy coach) but nobody stands out.
What will be the trigger for Dai to actually sack Pauno? Evidently it is not results or performances which have been pretty bad, will it be if we drop into the bottom three (for a prolonged period of time)? Will the protest achieve anything - probably not.
If he does get sacked is there a general consensus on who we want as manager? Warnock's name keeps being mentioned, especially for a short-term contract until he retires in the summer.
