The issue is the decisions of the board.
We'll assume that under Coppell, there weren't many decisions to be made regarding manager, staff, etc.
but there was the issue of buying players of Prem quality - which we didn't. Mark one.
Then we risked finances by keeping the majority of our squad together and continuing to pay Premiership wages, only to fail to achieve promotion. Mark two.
We then had to sell the majority of our recognisable stars, or loan them out to get them off the wage bill. Mark three.
We then failed to bring in much quality to replace the likes of Doyle, Bikey, Harper (
) and instead replaced them with Academy *pruducts or Championship chumps. Mark four.
Most importantly, is the appointment of Rodgers'. I'm of the opinion that he came in at the wrong time.
He came into a Reading squad that had been dismantled in a matter of months, and then had to try and remake the squad with a "cloth cutting" amount of money. He then had to get his "world class" ideas across to the squad, which barely knew each other and had played together for a
very small amount of time. Mark five.
If Rodger's had come in in a few years time, then perhaps he may have succeeded - we'll never know. He may get a second shot, although many Reading fans now hate him for the predicament he got us in.
Then the sacking of Rodgers'. Sack the man that got us here, then have a scout manage the squad. Uhh...
wtf? 
So, 6 major decisions, 6 major impacts on our predicament now.
Can't sack the board, because we have nobody to replace them.
Can't sack the chairman, there's nobody there to buy it.
Can't sack the manager, there isn't one.
What we need is to get a manager in and then hope that the hierarchy at RFC make the right decisions to get us out of this mess.
Short-term, who knows what's going to happen?
