Reading have this afternoon confirmed the appointment of Mark Bowen as their new first team manager, but it’s gone down awfully bad with the fans.
He is a former Norwich City, West Ham and Wales player who comes in for Jose Gomes, who was sacked last week after less than 10 months in charge.
Reading currently sit third from bottom of the Championship table and are without a win in six.

Chief Executive Nigel Howe said: “In the relatively short period of time that Mark has already spent at Reading Football Club, he has commanded respect and admiration from all who have worked alongside him. He came in at a critical period last season to help us retain our Championship status and had an immediate impact.
“Mark has two decades of coaching background on his CV, has tasted promotion to the Premier League and spent most of his coaching career in top-flight football. He knows this club and the owner and the board believe he is very capable of getting the very best out of a talented group of first team players and achieving the results we all want.”
Fans took to give their reaction and it’s gone down very badly with some suggested protesting at matches – see those tweets on the next page.
