What a terrible week for @ReadingFC - the person most qualified to lead the club forward off the pitch (Nigel Howe) moving aside and now the person most qualified to organise the team departing the club (Mark Bowen). The owners need to reconsider who they listen to for advice.

Furthermore the timing is shocking. Who sacks their manager 10 days before a new season? Nobody who knows anything about sport would think that was ideal. We’ll all be getting behind the new manager in a couple of weeks time - but that doesn’t make these decisions right.

MB arrived and vacated the manager hot seat in odd fashion, doing a decent job between. Is new man more or less welcome than when Jose Gomes was appointed? Someone tell the owners to cut ties with “super-agents” with noses in the trough, rather than interest in @ReadingFC
