Rodgers exit a surprise - Gooding

Rodgers left the Royals after just over six months in charge and Gooding, who now works as a radio summariser on Reading's matches, was shocked by the news. "He took over a club that have had a big shift in policy - Brendan knew this when he took over," he told BBC Berkshire. "He was left with a young inexperienced squad. He has had some money to bring people in but I was still really surprised when he was sacked."
