After two home matches that lead to four points but poor performances, Noel Hunt has been removed as Reading manager. Ben and Ross pick out what did for Noel in the end, and debate the true level of the squad.

The boys round up the likely managerial candidates and discuss what they want out of the next Reading manager. Plus, listeners ask whether a top-six challenge in the 2025/26 season is a lost cause.
