Royal_jimmy I was never optimistic about this appointment, an inexperienced team with an inexperienced manager who barely knew any of those players was always a massive risk.
Whilst he's quite young, I don't think first team manager is the role for Selles. He's an assistant at best. He doesn't learn from mistakes which if he did I'd have more faith.

He's a coach not a MANager. Nice guy with ideas but naff all experience or understanding in managing a team or gameplan and Reading have been continually saddling themselves with these "problems" since relieving BM the second time. It's like the owner deliberately set out for the club to fail.

Let's be absolutely honest, inexperienced = cheap
Paying a decent manager who knows what to do costs money.

The bizarre thing is that throughout this period of decline, the amount of money chucked at the playing assets has grown significantly.
Dai has reputedly put £200M into the club. It's all been spent in the wrong areas.
Expensive players on high wages, conversely punts on unknown managers with little or no track record in English pro football.
Using that logic, Dai reckons that if he bought himself a set of "Ping" clubs, he could beat all the world's top golf pro's

morganb Playing Devil's advocate here but...
He may have a point (bear with me on this one) -
Footballers are renowned for being a bit thick (stereotyping with a broad brush)
Try explaining something complicated to them in the classic BBC British accent
Now do the same using a broad regional British accent
Which will they understand the easiest?
Same applies to any strong accent (or even where English isn't your first language). Add any additional speach-based complexity and footballers just won't comprehend.
Look at all the best British managers, all perfectly clear to understand without the overhead of a strong accent - take Alex Ferguson for example and compare him to Frank Lampard.
(I'm joking by the way, just trying to understand how being British helps)
