The Royals’ win with four goals against Cambridge United boosts their League One survival chances significantly. Additionally, news of advanced negotiations for the club’s sale suggests potential changes in ownership, which could impact the team’s future direction and resources.
“I think you know it better than me, I’m serious,” said Selles when questioned about a potential takeover.
“Nothing indicates that it’s going to be any different but hopefully it is something different.
“Realistically, I don’t know. Until things are done, I’m not a believer so I just believe what is in front of me and that is a victory today, a couple of days off and then on Tuesday I will see if something has changed.”
Selles expressed admiration for his team, acknowledging their seven-point lead over the League One relegation zone.
He praised their recent performance as one of the best but emphasized the potential for further improvement, urging them to continue pushing forward.
“The boys are working really, really hard to get that performance to get those goals.
“I think the way they have been focused on the task is excellent.
“It’s very difficult to find a group of players that want to compete for each other in that way so I’m very proud of what they did today.
“We were ruthless in the final third. We were ruthless in the things that we did and I would like to see that more.”
Selles expressed gratitude towards the Reading fans for their unwavering support, noting that the connection between the team and the supporters has strengthened recently.
He highlighted the fans’ appreciation for the team’s attacking style, teamwork, defensive efforts, and their enthusiasm for playing in front of a lively crowd.
