The Inevitable Summer Shake Up - Manager, Staff and Players

[Deathy]

If we stay down, we wont have the money for a Chris Eagles or a Andrew Surman, Lullana etc...

Maybe back to how we used to be with one big £800k - £1m signing and a few bargains.

I'd also like Curbs but that's a little too optimistic I feel. I see Boothroyd coming in. Wont cost us in compensation, good young manager, a motivator too. Not the best style of football at Watford, but then we haven't seen much football in the last 4 months as it is.

[Gus the teenage cow]

players who cost us in the last few crunch games

hahnmann-not good enough anymore, get rid...he goes to ground like a sack of potatoes, no spring/agility/athleticism

rosenior-absolutely useless, talks a good game but that's about it, no touch, no ability to read the game, can't pass, can't head, can't tackle, what the fcuk is he doing in the team, all he does is run up and down a lot and generally get in the way/give the ball away, if we get 100k or more for this donkey i'd bite your arm off


other than that i am sure we will round on the usual suspects, kebe isn't as bad as people think, i'd retain him as a squad player, shunt and doyler will be off, if we get 10 million for the two that's good business, lita and bikey will go and to be honest as their attitudes and temperments are seriously in question then the sooner the better as far as i'm concerned, also please don't buy kitson although if glenda little gets fit i'd keep him on

plus points go to battlers like tabb and gunnar, we'll need them next season, marek needs to add some steel to his undoubted quality, harding/armstorng both are just fine as left back options, doobs should be just a squad player next season, ideally i want ingi and pearce there

now is time to sell the failures and primadonnas who have cost us and get the young hungry academy players in....a silver lining of sorts


harper, murty and long can all leave too, their mediocrity bores me, yes it is finally time to give the kids a chance


my team for next season

ben hamer

julian kelly ingi pearce harding or armstrong


henry karcan tabb gylfi


church noel hunt


subs
andersen
robsen-kanu
marek
davies
mooney


cisse and gunnar as utility squad players who can fill in for a variety of postions when needed

[Deathy]

Well that's us relegated then. Sympathy post, +1, and lolwut.

[Readingfanman]

On Tuesday night after the second goal had been conceded, I began looking forward to next season. Times are anew and will be vastly different and massively changed compared to the times we have seen this season I am sure. But to get these new times, many inside the club will be changed, and new faces will be bought in, and many will go.

All I want to know is though, keep or wave goodbye?

[savage 4 england]

Out:
Hahnemann
Lita
Doyle
SHunt
Harper
Sodje
Rosenior
Bennett

[Maguire]

I'd certainly keep Doyle but I don't think we'll have any choice.

[RG30]

I think the following will go;

Hahnemann
Murty
Duberry
Golbourne
Lita
Doyle
S Hunt
Matejovsky
Bikey
Sodje
Bennett

[Royalee]

Get rid of:

Hahnemann
Murty
Rosenior
Golbourne
Duberry
Sodje
Bennett
Gunnarsson
Harper
S Hunt
Little
Kebe
Kitson
Lita


Probably won't manage to ditch them all, but it'd be nice. I'd keep the rest and build around our younger players.

[Arch]

I'd certainly keep Doyle but I don't think we'll have any choice.

I can't believe the number of people who actually seem to want Doyle to go.

[savage 4 england]

I put Doyle in mine, but I would like to see him stay.

I can't see any way of it happening though.

[loyalroyal4life]

keep marek bikey doyle armstrong

[RG30]

I'd certainly keep Doyle but I don't think we'll have any choice.

I can't believe the number of people who actually seem to want Doyle to go.

I don't want him to go, but with a World Cup next year and Ireland in a good position, the likes of him & S Hunt will want to be playing Premiership football. We'll have to balance out the books, and he's our best asset.

[ankeny]

Now Coppell has gone perhaps Lita will stay

[LoyalRoyalFan]

Out :

Kitson
Little
Harper
S.Hunt
Doobs

[Elliott]

We'll have to balance out the books, and he's our best asset.

Balance out the books!?! I would love to know just how much profit the club has made in the last 3 years.

[Drew_3]

is that not the beauty of our club?we don't need to balance the books we don't NEED to sell anyone especially Doyle, but whether we do or not is a different matter.

[peterroyal76]

I would like these all to go for various reasons ie too shite OR too old OR too lazy:

USA
SHUNT
DUBERRY
MURTY
BRYNAR
HARPER
LONG
SODJE
KITSON
LITTLE
HARDING
BENNETT

[Berry]

Get the Shamrock out of Reading, Bye to SHInT, Gordon Bennett, ShABB, SO LONG, Boyle

Then USA, Iceland pair and Pikey.

My team at moment would be Fed, Stretch, Rosey, Pearce, Doobs, Church, Jem, poss Harding, Lita and new blood, whether from Ressies, youth or bought.

HARDING?

Sign him up! Even when Armstrong gets his place back, Harding would be a great squad player as cover for LB or LM.
