In Kuhl's position there was always a way of playing that the club wanted through the system, so he would have had to fit into that. But, the ethos at Reading is family club, do the right things, respect. He couldn't have lasted that long in the job, if he was an tosser or was a lapdog. I'll be interested to see if you take any of our youngsters on loan.

Hi to all. Reading FC fan here, but used to live in the west country and still take lots of interest in Exeter and Torquay. Pains me to see the way your club is being run and treated.
If I can offer a degree of comfort it's the appointment of Martin Kuhl. He was our u21/u23 manager for a number of years, and did a fantastic job. A top coach, who philosophy was technical football, with character too. Our academy has premier League status and he saw through the coaching through these times. I know it doesn't translate to success at first team level, or national league level, but he could provide good contacts, especially Reading, where the young players are well thought of nationwide. A couple have been on loan at Bath City recently and been successful.
Also, he is not a man to be f###ed with. Strong character, strong reputation, so hopefully won't take any nonsense from those above him.
Hope it works out for you, and the club gets back to where they should be, properly ran, owned and looked after.
Cheers
