ROYALS chairman Sir John Madejski is confident a new manager will be in place before the weekend after making a swoop for Brendan Rodgers.
The Chronicle understands Reading have been in talks with Watford in an attempt to thrash out a compensation package.
It is thought the Hornets wanted double the £500,000 Royals initially offered for the services of the 36-year-old who is on a 12-month rolling contract at Vicarage Road.
However, a compromise has now been reached leaving Rodgers free to open discussion about the terms of his contract which is likely to be for at least two years.
Madejski would not confirm Rodgers" appointment last night (Wednesday), preferring to keep the new manager"s identity a closely-guarded secret.
But with an announcement expected any day now, he told the Chronicle: 'We"re still going through the process but I think the appointment will be imminent, possibly before the end of this week.'
