Sacked at Reading.
Will be interesting to see who they get in.
A tad unlucky considering the mess they’re in financially. d

I agree that he is a bit unlucky. They are not on a great run of form but are only in the bottom three due to errors made by their board.

Is Tom Ince still on our books, or did he sign permanently?

I’d imagine Paul’s sacking will mean another club for Tom

Paul Ince is a wank manager, which means he will get another job no mither.

Minus the points deduction they’re out of the relegation zone by 5 points. Given their restrictions, that’s a perfectly reasonable job he’s done isn’t it?

They were plummeting. And still are. They’ve won two games all this calendar year. 11 points from a possible 48. Granted the 6 points off hasn’t helped their league position but they’ve been in mega relegation form. He can have no complaints about the sack.

I’d imagine Paul’s sacking will mean another club for Tom Reading signed Tom before they dragged the cat in, but yeah, you have to wonder where his career is going after his old man was sacked. Whichever way it is he is doomed to play on for Reading till the end of the season, as he can't be transferred anywhere until the next window opens.

He can have no complaints about the sack. Yeah and it’s not great but they’ve got more points than they probably should have in their situation. Overall he’s been perfectly fine for them given the mess that club are in.

Purely results-wise, staying up was about as good as anyone could expect. But listening to the Reading reaction, it's clear that their fanbase absolutely despise him for his tone in interviews, and they think his football is shocking. thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2023/4/12/23679137/fans-verdict-paul-ince-sacked-reading-fc-royals?It’s actually happened. Paul Ince is no longer manager of Reading Football Club. When the news broke on Tuesday morning, I felt a relief like no other I’ve experienced as a Reading fan. He may go down as the most unpopular manager in the history of the club. Usually, there are split opinions when it comes to sacking managers. And, at the end of the day, someone is losing their job and that’s never a nice thing. However, I don’t think there’s a single Reading fan who is unhappy that Ince is no longer manager and feels he deserved to be given more time. If there is, I haven’t seen them.

He can have no complaints about the sack. It's harsh for me, they probably needed one win to survive if it wasn't for the points deduction. They've had a lot of injuries and from the sounds of it the squad was thrown together at the last minute, they had a transfer embargo since 2001 and their aim was to avoid relegation this season which Ince said when he was appointed was going to be tough. He kept them up last season, and he deserved the chance to see the season out in my opinion.

They were doing fine up until the World Cup and were top third of the table. Since December they have plummeted for whatever reason but Ince appears incapable of halting that plunge. The off field situation obviously doesn’t help but they looked in serious trouble even without the 6 points off. Especially with the teams around them picking up points. If it were Stoke you’d have been calling for his head long ago and telling everyone who’d listen that you’d predicted this 12 months ago.

He’s a poor manager who only gets the gigs because of his reputation as a player at the Shit.

I must be the only one who thinks he done as good a job as he could have. Under a transfer embargo, 6 points deduction. He kept them up last season and had then 6 points clear until the deduction.

Bar a little success at MK Dons early in his managerial career Ince's record is abysmal.
He's a poor manager getting jobs on off his playing reputation. I'd be apoplectic if we appointed him as manager.

The recycling of managers is just pathetic, and no longer looks at a season as a whole.

I'd be apoplectic if we appointed him as manager. I know we scored a couple of fortuitous goals in our 4-0 win over them,but I still thought they were one of,if not the poorest side we'd played at that juncture. Toothless,devoid of creativity,slow in possession and not particularly solid,well drilled or difficult to play through. Whenever I think of Ince as manager the first thing that pops into my head is that picture of him holding the tactics board with 'shoot' scribbled on it.Probably an unfair characterization of his managerial nouse,but there you go. A shame as he was a tremendous midfielder,full of heart,committment and no little ability.

The issues at that club aren’t Paul Ince based. He was a big part of the problem. He's a shit manager. He was actually brilliant at Macclesfield, rescuing them from 12 points from safety and no wins to their name all season at the time. Downhill all the way since, though
