Poyet said the following today in response to something Tony Bloom had said.


Apparently it was all agreed at one point for Poyet to take over Reading with Adkins likely to replace him at Brighton, but Poyet changed his mind because he didn't want a relegation on his CV. I wonder how differently things would have turned out if he'd joined us?

Agreed, McD is a great manager but somehow makes it look much harder than it should be for most of the season before Xmas.

It's weird seeing Reading fans giving it "Adkins out" without any sense of irony, because we're 4 games unbeaten against good sides and drawing 0-0 away to Blackpool. I get the impression they were never exposed to a proper loving at the hands of Grimsby in the third tier.

Following our deadline day failure, Reading have taken the 1984 route and removed the stories from the official site about how Adkins had named his targets and expected 3 big signings in the final days of the window.

Apparently Zingarevich has bailed and wants to sell off his 51% of the club to middle-east investors. Haven't seen him pictured at a game all season aside from the friendly against Oman and our opening game against Ipswich. Fingers crossed the new owners don't Portsmouth us.

Sorry to poo poo up your thread with plasticity, but I read in the Echo that Will Hughes will probably be sold by Derby after this season. I know Liverpool have been sniffing after him. What kind of player is he?

I hope he can get us wholesale prices on Spanish wonderkids.

Looking forward to not having to check this thread anymore come next season.

Which player?

Well from the games I've seen he is unable to control a football with either foot, can't get past anyone, finds passing difficult, and his crosses hit the first man or row z. My pal who's been to every game since we signed him on loan says similar things in a less diplomatic way.

Not happy about this Italian fella now, has it been confirmed that he is associated with the takeover bid? Last I heard they just said they'd spoken with him, nothing more.

Royston Drenthe is the world's best paid wasteman.

He's been with us 8 months and still isn't match fit and no longer even warming the bench. You'd think pride would kick in at that point, but instead he posts pictures of him and his mates sitting around someone's house pissed and smoking shisha in Holland or out at a club with a mouth full of gold grillz.

I understand he hosed up his chance at Everton and did a big apologetic interview after where he said he had lost a stone and learned to stop going out, but he's been a tubby bitch since he's been here. Worse so he's apparently on £40k a week but more significantly Zingarevich signed him on a three year loving contract.

I wouldn't be shocked if he sat out his contract here and retired before he hit 30.

also, drenthe is getting games at reading?

Looking forward to that Reading draw tonight, nobody wants 6th place do they!?
