Not sure why everyone has got their knickers in a twist.
I'm sure that Poyet has spoken with Reading. It would be silly from his own point if he flatly turned them down - possibly wouldnt do himself any favours if and when a bigger job came along. Poyet will give Reading the respect that they deserve.
But just becuase he has talks, doesnt mean that he will say yes. Certainly Poyet understands that he needs a stepping stone to get the bigger Premiership job that he craves i.e Chelsea/Spurs. Are Reading that stepping stone? Almost certainties to go down, no guarantees (Bolton, Wolves, Blackburn) in going straight up.
If i were him or his advisors I would say that getting Brighton to the PL and keeping them there would do the trick. Alternatively, if Brighton do just miss out then there is bound to be another PL team next season or pre season needing a manager who will provide Gus the opportunity to remain in the PL.
Reading simply do not tick the boxes
