Loads of Reading fans have reacted to the latest update in their managerial saga, which emerged on Wednesday night.

The sacking of much-loved boss Jose Gomes was confirmed earlier in the day after just ten months at the helm, with former Stoke City and Southampton manager Mark Hughes being touted as an early favourite to replace him.
