AthleticoSpizz “betrayal”?

Will be interesting to see if Ruben explains his decision-making process behind his move, and if things are so bad behind the scenes that he had no choice.

If nothing else, he has always been honest with us…..let’s hope that, that hasn’t changed.


Hope he might be reasonably candid in a goodbye interview with the intrepid, no stone unturned, Tim.

BTW isn't there usually a press conference for Saturday's game on Thursday? I assume Hunt will take that?


I don't think they have them when there's a midweek game


Dellor said on the lunchtime news on BBCRB he would normally have been at the ground on Thursdays but wasn't invited this week...

WestYorksRoyal If we lose, please keep it in perspective. They're top of the league and Hunt deserves a chance.

I agree

It’ll be as honest as any NDA will allow :roll:

An NDA is a contract entered in to, usually for money. Are the club going to spend good money to keep him quiet? I doubt it.

He'll be professional. Which means he won't say much.

I think he may have missed the boat re explaining the rationale as I suspect NDAs have now been signed.

With hindsight, perhaps when questioned after Tuesday's game, rather than 'never been to Hull' a better response might have been: 'I understand that another club may have made approaches and, given everything that has happened and is still happening at Reading, together with the uncertainties regarding the future, I will need to carefully consider my options'.

I'd pretty much guarantee they will. They've obviously done it with others and, given the circumstances, the cost involved would be relatively small. Additionally, many employers will have NDAs in the initial employment contract (folks dig yours out and have a look), so formally reinforcing that with a further agreement (for a small consideration) is really just a belt and braces job.

Expressing personal fears and reservations wouldn't be breaching an NDA. So he could, for example, say; 'I feared that we were going to lose many of our best players during the January window, leaving us with an even smaller squad and me and my coaching team with an impossible task'.

He's a human, not a robot. And that wouldn't have made anyone happy anyway.

It was 7,073 for their game against us last season and 6,224 for Birmingham this season. They did have 8,158 for their League Cup game against Aston Villa in September.

Hope we can beat the 7073 then..

AthleticoSpizz …but, is that betrayal?


Guess betrayal can be subjective.
May not fit the true definition but that does not mean some of the players may feel betrayed.

It's only a betrayal if you're led to believe different.

They're all professionals. They all know the deal. Managers don't last long and if a club at a higher level come knocking with more money, virtually the whole lot of them would do the same thing and go, ownership shitfit or not.

Be interesting to see if there are any selection changes. No time to really do anything different on the training ground of course.
