E.G.Red Posted April 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 16th championship manager to be sacked this season. Probably the most in any one season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Intriguing season. Most people’s favourites to be 24th before the season started, they had a spectacularly good start, but have steadily declined since. So it’s hard to say whether he over achieved or underachieved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I'd say their good start was more down to luck than judgement. Tactical genius is Ince.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchred Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) I hope they get relegated. No matter what you think of ince (and I don't think a lot of him) a club that is completely deluded and run like a circus behind the scene wait until they are deducted 6;points and sack the manager. Hardly his fault that the 6;points hopefully cost them relegation, probably down to the clowns who sacked him Good riddance to the plastic club Edited April 11, 2023 by frenchred 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 If Reading go down i'd be surprised if they return to the Championship for a few years. They're run like a basket case and have been treading a fine line for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my favourite character in football but to my mind Ince has done a decent job at Reading, in stupid circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we have to wait so blinkin long on here for @Olé to file his report from away trips up north, and the photos from @Never to the dark side are so bleedin bleak and grim from rubbish northern away games, whereas Reading and QPR, much preferable away days for us all on here on our sofas on the Match Day thread .... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) I think Ince had an impossible job and performed it as well as most managers would. With the club situation and points deduction, it's an achievement to still be competing. In general, I think Ince gets a bit of a bad rep. I'd not be thrilled if he was ever appointed here but I think, with the jobs he has had, his record is solid. Start of the season aside, I'd not back him to get clubs to overachieve but I don't think clubs massively underachieve under him either.

1960maaan Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Could be a race between QPR & Reading. QPR picked up their first points in 5 games while Reading picked up 3 draws in last 4 games. QPR struggle to score, yesterday only the 2nd time since November they managed to score twice in a game. Reading play Huddersfield & Wigan plus 4 teams going for play offs, QPR play Burnley & Cov near the top and Stoke, Us and Norwich, who are really low in the form table. Hard to guess how it's going to go. Ideal World and Cardiff go, but if not I'd happily choose Reading. Looking at Cardiffs run in, and allowing for their very slightly better form , I see them staying up. They have Watford , Huddersfield, Stoke and Rotherham. Even they must be able to pick up enough points from those . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Reading were the very definition of “plastic fans, plastic club” during their rise. I look forward to them being bottom tier with gates of 3k, looking up to Swindon and Oxford. It is the natural order of things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's not lasted for a full year in (permanent) charge in his career, so I'm not sure it's that unfair a rep. Reading he just sneaks over the line due to his caretaker role starting in February 22. His first stint at the Franchise was impressive though in terms of results, but since then it's been pretty dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham too seem like they should survive- Warne didn't get backed as Taylor was though, quite different profile of players there under the latter.
