ooh missed that one - what's his reputation like as a manager - seems only yesterday he was a player

This is the first managers job he has had, been assistant at a few places including Ajax so I suppose he has been serving his apprenticeship. Bit of a risk for Reading, but they really have nothing to lose as they appear to be going nowhere anyway.

Confimed! He must have friends in very high places Paul Clement suceeded a few changes whilst at Real Madrid and highly thought of then came to England and done the square root of
Its not a too bad a squad to inherit although the fact that Chris Gunter is only 28 is mind boggling!

He must be the best interviewee in history!! No track record of any success as a manager at all!!!
