After Liverpool I did think that was the way. I'd say it's already too late for them for top4 this season but thought Jose would be saved with his champions league credentials.
When a manager plays for results at the expense of entertainment he better make sure he gets the results otherwise these things are inevitable.
Also worth pointing out that Southampton who have looked utterly dreadful under Hughes beat an improving Arsenal side at first ask for new boss.
Sometimes these can be false dawns but sometimes it's just the shot in the arm needed. That's why I think every game we stick with Phil we are missing out.
Of course Jose had 300M to waste which Parky has not had. It's an obviously different scenario but United not scared of putting Carrick straight in while they look who they can get. Some of our fans seem terrified of change because they fear the unknown.

Hoping against hope that they target Parkinson as their temporary manager for the rest of the season. They deserve each other.

Well Ole Gunner Solksjaer in until the end of season. I would say if I'd put him on the list of people to replace Parky people would point out he's failed AT Cardiff and only relative success from Norweigian lead. Everything he touches turns to Molde.
Appointed a club favourite and the old number 2 from the glory days. Hmmmm. To give them their identity back. Sound familiar? Aren't we calling out for a similar set up. Phil Brown/David Lee combo?
Not sure if it will work long term for them whole thing does slightly remind me of Di Matteo at Chelsea though.

I'd definitely go for Brownie and DL or JD as he is already within the first team coaching setup and probably has more experience than David. I think Brownie would love it, despite all the problems and if we could get the on field situation improving, I'm sure it would have a positive effect off it too. Ken wants to sell obviously but I think the Parky situation is perversely holding him back because he can't afford to finish him. It seems the Reading fans are getting frustrated at the lack of a new manager so it seems if talks develop with this Portugese chap after their game with Sporting Lisbon tonight, things may move quickly. If it's a no though I would expect them to switch back to Parky. I hope so it it's looking unlikely now.

What about DL with Bruce Rioch? Has anyone thought of that?

Seems a little far fetched Andy. Not sure how old he is now but a big ask to go back to a club after 25 years almost and to be so long out of the English game.
Quick wiki search and at 71 and without managed anyone in 10 years it's hard to see the legs on that one.
What I would say about Rioch is that it it's not a CV blessed with success as success. Sometimes the right man for the right club. Undoubtedly Riochs best spell as a manager was at Burnden he was never able to replicate that formula.
What I want next from a manager is to put the history and the finances to one side and say this is Bolton. Plucky underdogs and we will give you a game whoever you are and whatever you've spent and I really see Phil Brown buying into that. David Lee Or even Ian Holloway.
No surprise that Moyes, Big Sam and even Jose all lost their jobs recently even though they did better than the people they replaced. Heard on Talk sport Boro and Leicester fans moaning about Pulis and Puel(respectively) what they were saying especially the Boro fans was so in line with Parky. Playing for draws, snatch it if you can, one up front at home, holding midfielders and just dull to watch. They live on borrowed time if they play the results business card and then don't get the results

They live on borrowed time if they play the results business card and then don't get the results I agree with that, certain managers seem to have strengths in certain areas and once they step out of it they seem to fail. I've already felt many times that managers like players have a level and once they reach that level they hit a ceiling. BSA Warnock and Pullis seem to be brilliant at fire fighting but struggle once past that. Parky is much the same, at his absolute ceiling now, if not above it actually. Anyway, it sadly seems like our hopes for Reading are about to bite the dust as they've agreed a compensation deal with Rio Ave for Jose Gomes reputed to be €1M which should be sorted tomorrow. Imagine what Ken could have done with that? It would have even put the Madine deal in the shade. Oh well, I always thought it would be too good to be true.

I can imagine it... £750,000 to a Mr K Anderson for finders fee. £200,000 To Mr L Anderson for consultancy and £50,000 on expenses.
