Approval Rating: Support For Rob Couhig And Co Continuing To Rise
Loyal Royals are increasingly happy with the job being done by the club’s ownership.
Our latest approval rating survey reveals that the support for Reading's current owners, led by Rob Couhig, Todd Trosclair, and Rick Catania, continues to grow. After starting at 3.46/5 in September 2025, the rating has steadily climbed to 3.85 in recent weeks, placing them among the top four ratings in our approval series. This modest improvement marks steady progress and brings them just shy of the highest score possible, which was previously achieved under the extravagant spending days of the Dai Yongge era.
While the future looks promising with the summer signings and the decision to retain Leam Richardson, the team's on-field performance remains crucial. As we approach the end of September, we must continue to evaluate the results to determine if the club could potentially celebrate promotion in May 2027. With continued success, a maximum score of 5/5 would be well-deserved.
However, there is room for enhancement in the matchday experience. Despite substantial investments in the SCL and the owners' marketing efforts, some fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the matchday atmosphere. A significant portion of respondents (around 6 percentage points over the past year) have moved from a lower score of 2/5 to a higher one, but the reasons behind their shift are not entirely clear. To gain further insight into their perspectives, I would like to hear directly from these fans.
