Poyet NOT to Reading thread

[nomoremithras4me]

Yep, but forget Vicente and co, just imagine what contacts Mr.Rosbinson would have around the world to bring some quality to the pitch......and Ryan Harley could have the team built around him!?

What dreams are made of! All of the years in the wilderness getting soaked & watching the Barcelona esc footy at The Theatre of Trees, just for the day when KR was captain of the ship

Nor keep someone that flakey about staying. Hopefully we can bank £2.5million of compensation, and get a more attack minded manager. Happy days!

Quite!

I has livened up a quiet Wednesday afternnon though. I can see how some fans would be upset, but I would be far less upset than when they took Coppell away from us. .

Lol l i think that bit goes without saying

 

[Albumen]

Not sure I would employ someone who was 50/50 about the role.

'The Mirror understands ...' = no information

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Shit starting to look a bit more serious, looks like a lot of us will be logging outta here never to log back in .

50/1 on SkyBet. He'll be down to evens before long.

Most of them close these books at night, the tea boy they leave in charge wouldn't cack himself if someone had a ching on RDM at bullseye's.

Premier League strugglers Reading are close to appointing Brighton's Gus Poyet as their manager. There is a willingness on both sides to get the deal done and only the finer details of the Uruguayan's contract need to be finalised ahead of an announcement before the end of the week.

Poyet has now met the Reading owner Anton Zingarevich and the Russian has approved the appointment, which has been driven by the director of football Nicky Hammond. There is a compensation payment of just less than £2m payable to Brighton on the termination of Poyet's contract. The move will be a blow to the club who are outside the Championship play-off places only on goal difference.

There has been a longstanding agreement between Poyet and the Brighton chairman, Tony Bloom, that Poyet would be permitted to speak to a Premier League club if interest was shown in him.

While there has been surprise in some quarters that Poyet would leave Brighton, where he won promotion from League One as champions in 2011, the spending limitations placed upon him in recent months, as the team have tried to push for the top six in the Championship, have been a frustration. In particular, Poyet had hoped to sign a new striker in the last transfer window but, as it stands, he is still trying to bring one in before the 28 March emergency loan deadline.

While Brighton have thrived in the Championship, finishing 10th last season, they have punched above their weight when it has come to the wage bill. The current squad has been developed by Poyet with a Spanish contingent, including the former Spain international Vicente. He has also had a major influence in attracting players such as loan signing Wayne Bridge and the midfielder Liam Bridcutt, who is in the current Scotland squad.

While Reading look doomed to relegation from the Premier League this season, the club are prepared to back their new manager with the funds to make an immediate return next season. Under the new television deal, the parachute payments that go to clubs relegated from the Premier League have been increased to £23m for the first year, a huge advantage to sides dropping down.

The expectation is that Poyet will come to an agreement with Reading in the coming days and take over the team in time for the next game against Arsenal away, a week on Saturday.

His first foray into coaching was under Dennis Wise at Swindon, before moving to Leeds with his former Chelsea team-mate. He then worked under Juande Ramos at Tottenham.

Reading are currently seven points from safety with eight games of the season left and still have to play, among others, Liverpool, bottom-placed Queen's Park Rangers and the champions Manchester City, though those fixtures are at home.

That does NOT look good. Really starting to look like he's gone. Balls.

''but if he stays there will a lot of fans who will never view him in the same light again and always see the appointment as temporary''.

Dont agree with that at all....until its been confirmed that he has asked to speak with them, i cant see how you can go on that at all.

To be fair, whilst he is still the favourite, his odds have changed from 1/10 to 1/2 and Adkins is now 7/4

[smudge]

If he goes, bye bye Bridders, Orlandi, maybe Spanish Dave, Leo, PIG, any more?

 

[Pixelated Penguin]

My money is on Nigel Adkins for the Reading post. He has Premiership experience, when Reading are relegated this season he will know what it takes to get a team promoted from the Championship (Re Southampton) plus he's sitting at home at the mo watching daytime tv and would cost nothing in compensation. Gus however has no Prem experience or as of yet getting a team promoted from the Championship plus he would cost a small fortune in compensation.
If we have given permission for them to speak to Gus (which is probably in his contract) then has TB got someone possibly lined up already?

Sam Wallace knows no more about the situation than anyone else. He has consistently linked Gus with every job that has come along, including Blackburn and P*rtsm**th. This piece also contains several inaccuracies (did GP really "attract" Liam Bridcutt, who had been released by Chelsea and had nowhere else to go? - And, er, we did sign a striker: some bloke called Ulloa). Nor does he mention that the "frustrations" are as much to do with internal club politics as any spending limitations. This doesn't move the story on at all.

Havent these guys got contract to abide by. Surely Gus would have to pay up If he wanted to poach the spine of our team.

Apologies, I haven't read all the 11 pages, BUT if Gus does go... READING!! really? They're going down, not exactly the big big job he's after is it? Chelsea, Spurs, Villa, Sunderland, Leeds even, but Reading? (No disrespect to Reading and their fans, but is it a big jump forward?)
