Reading manager Veljko Paunovic has reacted sternly in a tense exchange with a Greatest Hits Radio reporter over his future.

We asked him how he felt about a majority of fans losing belief in him and he replied: "I understand that, but I believe in me and I don't need anyone to believe in me"

We followed up by asking if results don't improve whether he'd consider quitting the club, at this point he became agitated saying "You've got to stop, you've got to stop dragging me down, next question"

Reading are without a league win since November.

The game on Saturday at QPR will be watched by nearly 2000 loyal Reading fans who'll be hoping to witness a change in fortunes.
