Leam Richardon’s Score Plummets In Second Approval Rating

The results are in from our second approval rating on Leam Richardson, which we ran following the end of his first season in charge , and… they’re not good. You’ve given him an average score of 1. 7/5 , which is one of the lowest scores we’ve ever recorded for a Reading manager.

To break down the voting, the overwhelming majority of you (87%) gave him either a 1/5 or a 2/5. A handful of you went for 3/5 and barely anyone opted any higher than that. A quick side note, in case you wondering: yes, these are the results after adjusting for people spamming the poll with loads of 1/5 votes in a row.

We see your tricks, you rascals. View Link I’m not a fan of Richardson personally and gave him a 2/5, but an average score of 1. 7/5 still feels harsh for someone who’s delivered a mid-table finish at a club in a transition period.

Have I seen enough positives under this manager to give me reassurance that he’s the man for the job long term? No, but we’ve also had much worse seasons too. Regardless, this score is a remarkable drop-off for someone who started with a decent enough one in his first approval rating.
