Poyet NOT to Reading thread

[Mo Gosfield]

Currently driving round and round the Mad Stad, very slowly...car festooned with Brighton stickers...flag flying out the window..tooting the horn and singing very loudly.....

That deserves a thread of its own. I'd predict a 45 pager.

Hehe.. I won't start it!

People should just check it out for themselves

Reading have always, irrespective of this affair, struck me as a bit of a nothing club.

Do they have any proper rivals, for example?

Oxford I think.

That said, I know little about Reading other than Uri Geller once supported them until he realised they were rubbish so went off to support a proper club instead.

I don't think so - but I reckon there's one festering with us that will be reignited if we don't go up this year.

What a reception he wull get if he's still at the Amex for Leicester.

What reception will he get? Some delighted he chose to stay, some angry he may even have considered going, and some unmoved by the whole dull affair - so what reception do we prepare?

Nah. Can't be bothered. I can get annoyed with SCC, Pompey and Orient, but I'd struggle to stay awake long enough to be annoyed with Reading.

There have been tensions at the club during Poyet's time in charge over the sales of players such as the transfer of Craig Noone to Championship rivals Cardiff City last summer.

What tensions?

I think Uri Geller was a Exeter fan , did he not take the kiddie Fiddler Micheal Jackson there to watch a game once.

And yes Oxford are there rivals and until resent years were the much bigger club.

That's what I meant, he once claimed to support Reading and then buggered off to Exeter, a proper club.

Oxford I think.

Logical I guess, surely Oxford care far more about Swindon though?

I honestly can't think of any cub who, when asked the name of their arch-rivals, the club they detest and despise more than any other, would say 'Reading'.

I think it has something to do with the proposed merger of Oxford and Reading back when Reading nearly went out of business.

Can't say I care really, nothing club.

I don't see how people can be annoyed he considered going. A football manager is a risky employment, you get an offer so you listen to it. Given the timezone and him being in Barbados, it doesn't sound like he considered it for long. I suspect he had the meeting, knew straight away it wasn't for him, thought about it overnight and informed them around 2pm UK time. They probably made him a further offer that he rejected almost straight away and confirmation came not long after that.

But as we all know Micahel Jackson was a massive fan of Fulham (or not as the case maybe).

As this must be the reason why this is outside Craven Cottage

I just love how TheReadingFan comes on here and gives his opinion we are not worthy and Reading are the bigger better club. From where I am sitting, I see us as the bigger club as we are still growing. Infastructure we are better, the proposed academy/training facility we will be better, fan base and catchment area we are better. I would say chairman we have better. So why would Gus have wanted to throw all that away for some middle of the road club with little ambition to try and survive in the best league in the world.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I've got a few friends who are long-standing Reading fans from the old Elm Park days, but the building of the MadStad and the later elevation to the Premier League attracted a horde of JCLs who knew nothing of the history of the club, and it is these and their new blue and white scarves (and their sudden disappearance after relegation - and equally mysterious re-appearance this season) who make it feel like an artificial sort of club. And all those empty blue seats.

We've always had a history of big crowds that Reading never had and we believed that they'd come back once the Amex was built. Some day, of course, when we've been relegated from the Premier League, we may see the same sea of empty seats, but I still think we have the bigger natural fanbase and core support. We needed the Amex to fit everyone in. They needed promotion to fill the MadStad - that's the difference.

Probably said else where in this massive thread but I think Gus was just playing poker with Tony, annoyed cause he won't pay silly money for a loan striker, total bluff. He'd be mad to leave, with a five year contract, the crowds and club still growing and for what, to get sacked 6/9 months down the line by some greedy foreign owner who cares not a jot for Reading, just the money it can make him. I think Tony will be sniggering at his attempt to play 'life' poker with him, there would be a queue a mile long for Gus's job, if he didn't already have someone lined up
