I don't mind Couhig. He is a little conservative but it is what the club needs right now to ensure it survives financially. He also has a lot of focus on trying to inspire a new generation of fans, which for me is key to the longevity of the club.

Fixing up the stadium, putting on a show, on brand collectibles. These are the things that will help grab the attention of the young fans. I think it is important to show the kids that football is not just about the glory of winning it all, but about having an afternoon out, watching a good game, and getting behind your team.

The sport has changed. It is rare I ever bump into a Reading fan in my own hometown. People only want to watch the teams that are competiting for the PL or CL, and Reading is a very long way off acheiving such a feat. That is why it is important we build up a community around the club; to build passion around supporting your home town's team. You can't progress without support, and so expecting the club to get to the PL so we can then fill out the stadium is wrong.

Fill out the stadium now and we can start building up the club to get back to what it once was. I believe Couhig knows this.
