Clement sacked on 10:56 - Dec 6 with 5982 views | ted_hendrix | If Bidwell's last minute penalty had gone in last season they would have been relegated, the penalty award was one of those seconds when you instantly know he's not gonna score and so it turned out to be, they cheated all over the pitch and the k unt that knocked the ball out of Bidwell's hand is just that a k unt.

That was the angriest I felt after any game last season Ted. I was absolutely fuming. We were easily the best team in that game and it looked like we would get the point to at least stop them getting all three and he missed it. | ![](/images/avatars/7509.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

https://www.football.london/reading-fc/reading-fc-news-luis-castro-15521865.amp Reading could appoint Luis Castro as their new manager as controversial football agent Kia Joorabchian attempts to take an increasingly influential role at the club. Vitoria Guimaraes manager Castro is a client of Joorabchian and football.london understands there have been talks over the him taking over at Madejski Stadium. It is understood he does not speak English well and it would cost Reading around €1 million to get him and his coaching staff out of their roles at Vitoria Guimaraes. | ![](/images/avatars/6250.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

€11 on a manager, €50 in the winter and €50 in the summer. Wonder where that fits in with FFP. However they are the fake hoops so the FL might decide to fine us. [Post edited 10 Dec 2018 17:29]

A lot of coaches develop good interpersonal skills though, which McClaren seems to have in spades - players have deffo played *for* him everywhere he's been. His historic downfall has been an inability to turn around the ship tactically once it starts to sink (which is why i was in favour of binning him early doors).
