Reading FC BBC Article

You can find an excellent article here on Reading's adjustment after relegation from the Premier League, and the push to get back again.

Bye Bye Bobby and Graham ???

Sad news today

Bobby Convey has left the club by mutal consent, I would like to wish him good luck for the future.

He was a major part of our initial Premier promotion team and in his pomp was an excellent player!

Still a young man, perhaps moving back to the States and becoming a major star in the MLS and rebuild his confidence for another go in Europe?

On another interesting note, Graham Murty has extended his loan at Charlton.

Liam Rosenior has looked very shaky over the past few week, and it was thought that Murty may return to the side when fit?

Perhaps there is a coaching job going at Charlton:-)

Finally, on a sad note

Off we went to Derby last week full of optimism that we might make an undeserved escape from the Premier League trap door. In the end a header from that towering powerhouse Danny Murphy kept "Woy's" Fulham up by outjumping the supposed giant Pompey defence(cheers Harry!) and down we went :-(

A real shame really because I'm pretty sure we would have stayed up next season due to the quaulity of what is coming up!

Where do you start:

• Lack of investment in players

• The ones we did buy were awful and a real waste of money

• Tactical errors and conservatism when a gamble was required
  

• Players signing lucrative contracts and then not performing once the money was in the bank

• Players once gaining a little recognition than thinking they are too big for the club!

• Others also refusing to play for the reserves when requested by a manager who basically created one of said player from scratch!!

• A forward being loaned out when we needed goals!

However when it comes down to it, the players just didn't perform.

Lets see how many of the "loyal" players jump ship

The manager should stay and correct the situation

But what do I know :-)
