I think you will find Mark Venus will be doing less and less coaching as time goes on Its seems that Mowbray has the backing of owners and very happy to allow Mowbray and Waggott to bring in this structure into the club as you have been told before the owners prefer to meet people face to face as always. We had plenty of coaching staff at Brockhall in the past week

its appears to me that Venus will taking more of director of football role on and working closest with the scouting and recruitment department and negotiating transfers and new contracts. I expect Venus will be taken more of back seat coaching wise and spending less time on there as time goes on. I noticed he doesn't work with defenders pre match like last season as Damien Johnson is doing. Will Venus be spending more time up stairs with the in game analysis people. So basically Mowbray is the manager with 2 coaches under him in Lowe and Johnson plus Benson and Rush in their coaching field.

Look at financial problems at the club. Ken Anderson has his bosees. Embargo in.promotion season Kevin Philips? You complained at Bowen getting a manager job at Reading now you suggest Sunderland appoint an novice in terms of experience of that league and Sunderland need promotion.

Mowbray been to India. Venus now head of Football operations. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/17976593.mowbray-outlines-reasons-india-trip-meet-rovers-owners/

Going for the cheap option? What other choices and who are these? Parkinson worked miracles at Bolton. Grayson was awful at Sunderland. Made some awful signings there

I think he is a good choice for them and the squad. Has Promotion on his CV

Looking like Phil Parkinson will take over at Sunderland

well I'm sorry Stuart but season tickets holders should get the better deals as we keep attending every home game. Yes do a special deal for 1 game like the Boxing day game. No problems. But I'm not sure how many more after that game will season ticket long term. Maybe do the offer I have just suggested above

we shouldn't get rid of season ticket holders at all. Some people have been one for many many years. Ive had mine over 20 years and I have my current seat for 6 years and I wouldn't want to move anywhere else. Some people only turn up for that one game clearly, I was asking 2 simple questions. Maybe someone from the fans forum could get those answers to the questions. I think the 3 games for 45 pounds is a good offer and cheap enough. I have been over and over why people don't commit to a season ticket that I know and cost isnt the problem but other factors. I suggested in the summer that they should do a special deal for the Boxing game at home. Then maybe if you attend that game if get a discount of a Preston game ticket

And how many fans only came cos we got promoted and was glory hunting? And how many of those fans have been back to a game since then?

His quotes arent worthless at all. These are on the record and dont see the club coming out to deny his comments. How do you know he was leading the hunt for the new head coach tho? Did the club even have a plan to replace Gomes with someone but at the end that person backed out?

Did he make that decision to get rid or was it made by the CEO and Owners level. A decision like this would be made owner level at the end of the day. Dont get the fans love in of Gomes anyway.

Looking at the betting it looks like it a decision between Rowett and Ainsworth now for Millwall job. Southampton got rid of Les Reed who bought some real talent there and it appears that since he left that they have stalled as a club and not going forward as a club as far as can see

true but then look at Farke and Wagner careers who went youth coaches can turn out to be good managers. But can also go the other way like Kean or Siewert. I am fully aware when Hughes time was and it was great time for this club and He was the best manager we had since King Kenny as manager. When he left Rovers was very sad day for us. Well I gather you haven't listen to Bowen's interview yesterday when he said he was asked to take over as head coach by the CEO and Owners. So the decision came from them not him. Reading fans may well raged at the decision but Gomes was going taking down despite their spend this summer. I was surprise Gomes was appoint last time and I was expecting Phil Parkinson to take over at the time. I tend to keep my eye on alot of former Rovers players and coaching staff to see where they are now.

Read and listen to what players say about him and his coaching methods. Say the stuff above and much more. . Look at his time at our club and how well we did with him as Hughes as number 2. Football isnt just about the manager but the quality staff around the players.

Leeds could be set for new owners https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10133745/leeds-owner-andrea-radrizzani-considering-selling-club-psg-qatar-sports-investments-man-city/

Bowen is an excellent coach and someone I thought would have gone into club management(as a manager) sooner than he has. He joined Reading as Technical consultant in March. He applied for Swansea head coach job in the summer before he missed out on that job to Steve Cooper. He then rejoined as sporting director at Reading. I will say Bowen knows his stuff and It will be interesting to see if he can make as number 1 now I cant speak on why Bowen was brought in as sporting director and why its was Reading owners and CEO decision to bring him on. I was expecting another manager from the agent who is helping Reading

totally agree. Southgate is the best manager for this current team and players. The racism tonight is unacceptable and its time that UEFA and FIFA took some proper action like banning these countries from international football for 2 or 4 years and all European clubs competitions. Its time for some proper action now

Bowen wouldnt have been my choice but are Reading waiting a manager who is available next summer or was this part of the plan?

Bowen stabbed Gomes in the back? You sure of this? Considering that the agent of Gomes is the man Reading use him to sign players and is a friend of the owner. Is Bowen part of the agent's agency?

Good offer

Tickets bought for this game today.

Source at the club? Who would be your choice?

I dont know Reading fans were expect to be honest to be appoint. Owners dont know what they want and have been a mess tbh. Gomes didnt seem to clue there tbh. Dont think he was in charge of buying the players there so was buying the players?.

Just comments made by them on social media, local media comments and comments made to fans
