Paul ince

I have to say this was a massive surprising appointment, normally when teams pot their managers they bring somebody in who can make an instant impact and start picking up points quickly in a relegation battle. But Paul Ince somehow doesn’t fit that bill, who did he manage after us or has he?🤔

No one, eight years out of the job. Derby must be laughing tonight.

He couldn't manage a chip shop. He'd sack all the staff for not being naturally fit rnough and then fall into the fryer while looking at himself in the mirror and regaling the customers with stories of his playing career.

Lump on Derby to stay up. 👍

'Now remember, non of you are to serve the customers directly, you must hand all orders to my Tom, although we won't be here next week as we're touring Harry Ramsdens looking to get him signed up...'

... there were trophies all around the walls. We had chip fans all over the world! We called them frites, and served them with mayonnaise. People couldn't get enough, our standards were immaculate! The chip game isn't like that any more. It's been ruined by foreign money. But I'm back, and I'm going to show those big spenders how it's done!
 
I’ve heard through a very reliable source that he’s signed on as an interim player manager with training and playing built around the latest FIFA school handbook of 'me to you, you to me, me to you' tactics with our Tom!
 
Couple of snippets off the Hob Nob Anyone? site:-

"I know the majority aren't happy with a washed up, failed football manager taking over but we haven't seen what a Paul Ince team looks like yet."

"Captain - Tom Ince
Penalty taker - Tom Ince
Corners - Tom Ince
Goal Kicks - Tom Ince"

😆

Negative football aside he's not a very likeable person. Ego aside and he's a cold fish. Nothing there at all. You will never get any proper togetherness as a club with him in charge.

He couldn’t manage a chip shop with an Air Fryer. 😂
 
Weird thing for me was we were set up to play to Tom’s strengths and he became unplayable under Holloway for a time; but then I watched in horror as Paul did the exact opposite and turned a player who I though would have a Stella Prem career, if not England, into a championship failure. Dreadful manager on every level I thought.

I genuinely feel for the Reading fans, that’s about as bad an appointment as I could think of.

Can we please all dig out our Paul Ince masks next weekend and give him a rapturous welcome back to the Seaside!😂

Message interchange with my Royals supporting buddy this evening, after congratulating him on their victory....

HIM: we have just sacked our Manager and appointed PI; what are your thoughts?🤔

ME: you're fooked!😂

HIM: thought so!😭

What about throw ins?
 
Paul Ince the former Blackpool manager who hated the colour Tangerine and made the painters change everything to black or grey.One thing Ince said that was of reasonable understanding,a Championship manager should not have to look at trialists during pre season.
 
There was the post Holloway Oyston factor working against him, nobody after Ollie stood a chance. And I think he did ok at Macc and MKD. But 8 years is a long time stagnant and the game has moved on a bit.

What about T'Rovers?
 
Seriously, how the fuck can any club even consider Ince for the managers job? He has not managed anyone for eight years, he was potted from job after job before he was sussed out, on what basis have Reading given him the gig? It can't be on his CV which absolutely stinks of failure time after time, in his last four jobs at Blackburn, MK Dons, Notts County and Blackpool he lasted less than 12 months at all of them, seriously what does that tell any prospective new employer?

They deserve everything that's coming their way, absolutely clueless.
 
Make sure everyone near him watch out for flying water bottles next Saturday. Oh,and ensure the top has been taken off his before he comes out into the technical area.🤭
 
The appointment says a lot more about Reading’s position than anything else. He became our manager because nobody else would take it and he wanted his sons career to move forward. I reckon it’s the same now.
 
I only just realised that Tom is on loan at Reading, made 3 appearances this season, that's a stat that will soon change!
 
You get a feel for his level of intelligence when you see him as a TV pundit - he's the worst of them all - more dense even than poor old Paul Merson. Top managers are smart cookies, they might as well have appointed the club cat as manager.
 
So we can expect Reading to play a 9-1 formation on Saturday, and Reading can expect the odd Neil Bishop type, who might be out of contract, to be brought in.
“We don’t have the players to play expansive football. We would have our pants taken down “ (if we tried) Paul said.
God help them ! Rooney v Ince….no contest.
