Reading: Adkins - SACKED; Clarke - APPOINTED

[peterward]

whats the betting that we were waiting for reading to sack adkins, before we sack Hyypia so that we don't have to pay compensation to Reading...

Right now there is nothing that would surprise much anymore. I'm truly gobsmacked someone as Astute as Bloom whose spent a small fortune, hasn't already pulled the trigger with the hapless twit running team affairs, and if Bloom ever does awake from this "everythings ok" deluded slumber, i wouldnt be suprised for him to renew his desire with the buffoon Adkins, as he wanted him before.

What, like we sacked Poyet so nobody would have to pay us compensation. btw how long have we been waiting for Reading to sack him

it was a joke...

I hope not, as much as I want sami sacked its purely because I can't see him turning the on field problems around. As a person he is a bit dull but inoffensive. Twatkins on the other hand makes me want to up chuck every time his mug apears on local TV up here, that's before he even opened his clichéd gob. I think I might actually shed a tear if this happened.

cracker!

 

[Acker79]

I'm a little disappointed. I was looking forward to the atmosphere on boxing day with him in one dugout and Sami in the other.

And so might they.

Seriously? At the Goldstone. When he was a player for us.

Yep seriously. I did my main stint as a teenager between 79-84 and then got on with my life. It is not abnormal to have other priorities and interests taking over?

It will be Adkins, you just know it will be.
Announcement after Xmas break.
He tells Reading of the approach, they sack him, he turns up at The Amex.
By then Sami has lost a couple more games, fans baying for blood and will take anyone.
Wait and see.

My favourite Adkins story was just after the Walsall game, Matt Sparrow still had his tel number in his mobile. He rang it from the coach, with the whole Brighton team singing 'We're f.......g brilliant'.
He obviously didn't engender much respect from his ex players.

Not heard that before. Love it.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Is it more of an example in that Leicester have sacked their Director of Football & kept Pearson?

 

[buller89]

Talksport are reporting that Steve Clarke is new Reading manager

 

[8ace]

Steve Clarke as short as 1/6 now.

Good decision

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Wow.
Reading didn't mess about.

 

[BensGrandad]

One choice for us gone.

 

[Driver8]

One decent alternative gone for us then.

Sometimes it would be good to be Reading! Fast appointment and a good one

 

[Mattywerewolf]

1 more team NOT going down now then....Would have been a good replacement for us.

 

[WhingForPresident]
