The worst thing for him now would be to have to play a team that had a good result this weekend

[Gibbo]

Think they'd be silly to sack him.

How Mclaren is still in a job however.

Steve Clarke: Reading sack manager after run of poor form

Championship side Reading have sacked manager Steve Clarke after a year in charge of the club.

His departure follows Thursday's 1-0 home defeat by QPR and comes just two weeks after he held talks with Fulham over their managerial vacancy.

Reading's board of directors met with Clarke in person early on Friday to confirm their decision to dismiss him.

Assistant manager Kevin Keen also departs, with under-21s manager Martin Kuhl taking charge on an interim basis.

Former West Bromwich Albion head coach Clarke was appointed Reading manager in December 2014 and led the club to an FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal in April.

He leaves Reading ninth in the Championship following a run of just one win in eight games.

During his time in charge, Clarke won 19 of his 53 games, drawing 14 and losing 20.
Speaking after the defeat by QPR on Thursday, he denied being unsettled by the reaction of supporters following his decision to speak to Fulham

"I understand the supporters are disappointed that we're not winning matches," he said

"If supporters direct anger at me, it means they're not directing at the players, so that's fine.

"In football things can go against you sometimes. I can't comment on everyone's opinion."

Monk gone from Swansea. Sacked.

Hello Brendan ?

Hope so, and that he buys Joe Allen.

Rodgers has ruled himself out apparently

He needs a job soon, could do with him coming back for some players.

Rodgers has ruled himself out apparently

As if his ego would ever let him go back to Swansea.
