With promotion sealed simon grayson is to embark on a major summer rebuild. With 12 players out of contract and 2 loans ending, he see's it as the perfect time to stamp his authority on his team.

All but 2 of his out of contract players are to be released, the 2 being ian bennet and tom clarke who are set to sign 1 year contracts, whilst negotiations with sean morrison and Damian johnson will star almost immediatley.

A short list of players has been drawn up including Jermaine Beckford, transfer listed QPR duo Dj Campbell and Jay Bothroyd, Mk dons players dean lewington, stephen gleeson. Oldhams soon to be released chris taylor, is also high on the list as is rather suprisingly considering the dogs abuse he recieved Newcastles Alan Smith. The signing on some of these mainly the strikers will dependant on the sale or non-sale of jordan rhodes

To chelsea fan who writes tha reading norwich will go down we Are just as good as any team that finishd in bottom half prem this season. Well done for champ l result, i think u should be more worried on how u going to close gap on man c which is baldy huge, not what teams be going down

I fancy Norwich to go down as well. Good first season but next season they'll be bottom 3 for sure.

I'm surprised that no one has suggested that Big Sam is looking at brining in Jonathan Wilks and John Bishop, both played well for England v ROW

OFFICIAL: Stoke City's Robert Huth is going to Borrusia Dortmund signing for a fee of around £2.5 million

Actually there are 3 German clubs after him. I posted on here last Summer that he would leave in the next 12 months as he won't sign a new contract and Stoke blocked a move in August. One year left and Stoke will cash in

People saying Reading dont have any money because the takeover isnt done yet are complete dullards. Do they think Madejski has been running us with no money for 21 years? Of course we'll have more money when Antons in but we do have some at the mo.

Chelsea will line up with a 4-2-3-1 next season, their front 4 worth £140m (Mata-£20m Hazard-£35m Hulk-£35m Torres-£50m)

Torres isnt worth half that.

Can't help laughing at all these Liverpool supporters hoping to get Brendan Rodgers instead of Roberto Martinez. Is Rodgers a top manager in the making? Ask Watford and Reading fans.

Is martinez that good a manager only time will tell

If we sold Rodwell For around £15 million then we buy pienaar around £4 million Naismith around £2 million and either lee from Bolton for around £3-£4 million or holiett for around £5m then our team will be great for next season an this means we don't need to sell Baines or felli that's really don't want to happen because they are vital to us :)

Rodwell isn't worth 15 million

And hoilet is a free transfer fee to be decided by tribunal

Reading aren't going to do anything in the premiership except fight the relegation battle. Reading are nothing more than a mediocre championship side (punched WAY above your weight last season, not forgetting the complete fluke results), & when u go back to the championship first time (& you will), be interesting to see how many players on "proper" premiership wages will be sold. I think the top brass at Reading should be very careful who they sign.

The True Reality Prof {Ed013's Note - Reading deserved to go up and with investment will do OK in the Prem and no I am not a Reading supporter!}

Flukey results? So taking 6 points of the supposedly best team west ham isn't good enough? Or perhaps 4 off Southampton, nah your right we were terrible

Bla Bla Bla Bla favourites to go down Saints and Reading....Reading deserve thier chance and both will stay up with just a few additions to thiers squads...your comments just smacks of envy and Reading fans should feel flattererd.....COYRs

What a pathetic bitter post. The original poster should take a long hard look at themself and stop whinging away because they are jealous of what reading have achieved. Anyone who thinks reading will go down is clearly an idiot. Look at the success of Norwich and Swansea, both of whom morons like you thought would be straight down. Personally, I wish reading (and even Southampton...) luck next season.
A Brighton fan.

All three teams will have to fight to stay up thats the epl all three go up confident it to early to predict it will come down to smart buys /loans tactics

Reading aren't strong enough, will almost certainly drop, but not as certainly as Saints, who are frankly awful and nowhere near good enough for PL. Will definitely be relegated barring massive investment. Soton, Royals and Norwich to be relegated. Birmingham, Cardiff and Bolton to go up. Chelsea fan.

Chelsea fan? From Portsmouth? Saints were top 2 all season and will survive the Prem with continued sensible investment.
