Reading ownership faces performance evaluation after 500 days in charge
Summary

Rob Couhig and the current ownership group at Reading approach the 500-day mark since completing their takeover of the club. Supporters have been asked to provide updated performance ratings following a period characterized by a middling finish last season and significant summer recruitment. The club invested in long-term prospects including Kyreece Lisbie and George Earthy, though late-window recruitment remains a point of critique. Recent facility upgrades at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, such as the installation of safe standing in the South Stand and improved audio systems, have received mixed feedback from fans. While some supporters praise infrastructure investments, others cite ongoing concerns regarding matchday logistics, including limited connectivity and toilet access. The ownership team previously maintained high approval scores in earlier surveys, reflecting a fluctuating sentiment as the current season progresses.
