Brendan Rodgers has been confirmed as the new manager of Reading having quit Watford for their Championship rivals. Rodgers was only appointed Watford boss in November of last year having previously managed Chelsea's reserve team. Reading have been on the lookout for a new manager following Steve Coppell's resignation at the end of the season, after his failure to guide the Royals to an immediate top flight return. A club statement on Watford's website from Hornets chairman Jimmy Russo read: "Following speculation over the Reading vacancy I had spoken to Brendan only last week and he had assured me that he was 100 per cent committed to Watford FC and our plan for the future. "Once Brendan had confirmed his desire to discuss the opportunity and Reading had met a contractual compensation figure, we were powerless to prevent him doing so. "I then spent up until Monday evening negotiating with Reading a vastly improved compensation package, starting at £500,000 and potentially rising to £1m. "We also had a frank and open conversation with the manager on Monday afternoon to further understand his position. It was at this stage he strongly reinforced his desire to talk to Reading. Disappointed "The club is disappointed and saddened to lose Rodgers after he joined in November 2008 from Chelsea on a 12-month rolling contract. "The new-look board at Vicarage Road has been open and honest with Rodgers about the club's financial position following the end of Watford's parachute payments. "The board had been working with Rodgers for several months on the club's five-year plan and vision for the future, which brings stability allied with what it believes will be a competitive team in line with the current strong and proven recruitment process. "Watford is going through a transitional phase, as all clubs do when they come out of the Premiership, but everyone at Vicarage Road was looking forward to the new season, following the encouraging start made to managerial life by Rodgers.

But to be fair Kaka also rejected City so maybe he just dont fancy the Premiership

Just way way way more expensive lol. Let Real have him Id say.Stupid stupid amounts of money.Yeh class player but he's 27 and 73m..that is beyond rediuclous.Save it and spend elsewhere

Lol true but aww very thoughtful though..gives back what people lost even if they dont appricate it

Awww been an eventful season for him lol But yeh deserves it and just hope yeh he keeps up his form..and gets along with Ancelotti well cause that seems to infulence his performance

Apprantly gana be cleared up on Monday with Kaka having the last say so..says his owner anyway http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8082147.stm

They're not even in Europe this year and yeh even with the players they still need to gel etc so yeh cant see a top 4 finish.5th maybe Can honestly see City going crazy and become a situation where the owner is picking the players and Hughs is just slightly wtf by it all

Yeh be a good signing...as long as we actully play him! But yeh nout offical yet so we'll see...but hopfully

But 50m however much it was for a 27 year old been crazy money..56m Real are preparing to pay and we're mena top that...nah let him have him Id say

Exactly!!!read it and was kinda eh what makes no sense really City then the money part and ooooo that explains a lot

For Johnson I dont think it helped his first game back was a 3-2 win and that he made several mistakes.Pretty good player but buying him back..seriously lol..then again the Sun live in their own world and make things up as they go along

Source aside but 60m?! At that price with our luck he's bound to flop

Im sure he dont give a monkies to be honest

Hopfully we need Drogba playing the way he is defo

Well he's got a big game really for his first,Community Shield.Win that everyone be ooooo loose it he's gana get critics no doubt Bit hmmm about this but hey he might do alright.Just hope he can keep players playing at the same level they are at the mo or better and not go back to the old ways such as Moulda. That and leave Beckham where he is!

He apprantly been taking lessons and thinking in English lol Hmm duno about this one.Hopfully he'll prove most wrong and have a massive impact etc.Long as he can get the backing of the players and keep it thats the main thing to start with and hopfully he will and not have another Scolari seg.That and keep them all playing at the level and way they are esp Moulda!

Awww from the offical site: Chelsea Football Club has released the following statement: Guus Hiddink has done a fantastic job as temporary first team coach. Everybody at Chelsea FC would like to thank him for his efforts and wish him luck for the future. Winning the FA Cup was a fitting tribute to his management and coaching skills, and a perfect send-off for him. We are very grateful to him for what he achieved during his short time at the club. He will always be welcome back at Chelsea as a friend, and in any other football capacity. We wish him all the best for his future endeavours. John Terry and Frank Lampard both showed their appreciation for Hiddink and all his fantastic work after yesterday's FA Cup triumph. Speaking at Wembley with another FA Cup title to their names, our captain and vice-captain expressed their thanks to our Dutch temporary coach for all he has done at Chelsea. 'We love him,' said Lampard, 'everyone appreciates what he has done both inside and outside of the club and the fans have taken to Guus very quickly. 'The way he works behind the scenes obviously works, but the way he has conducted himself has been taken on board by the fans and the press and public, that's why people respect him so much.' After such a short but successful tenure at the club, yesterday's win was the perfect way to say goodbye to Hiddink, and there were touching scenes after the final whistle as the players expressed their gratitude. 'It was very emotional; he has had a very good bond with the players, which has gone both ways,' explained Lampard. 'We are resigned to the fact that he is leaving and we wish him well, but it was a great way to go out. He is a great man and we're sad to see him go.' Terry added: 'We have had a great time under Guus and they are big shoes to fill whoever comes in now, there is no doubt about that. 'How he has handled himself in training and how he has represented the football club have been great. 'He never lets something get too far. If he sees something happen in training he makes a decision there and then and he tells you. Little things like that make a massive difference. 'But it's definitely not goodbye to Guus, it's the start of something new. He has seen things that need to be changed at the football club and he will continue to help change those things in the future.'
