I wouldn't rule out Shane playing another year. I don't think he has definitely said he will retire: Not the ideal way to finish a career and he might well feel he has something left to offer in helping Reading get back up. It looks already like younger players may be a big part of the rebuild so could imagine having an older head around might help. 
Might well be the case that he waits to see who the new manager is and has a chat with them before making a decision.

His wife posted a picture on instagram of a signed Reading jersey and the messages were happy retirement etc along with a caption saying people say he has more to give but when you know you know.

Looks like he's hanging up the boots

Back home to Cork City 
Flying so high, trying to remember
How many cigarettes did I bring along?
When I get down I'll jump in a taxi cab
Driving through London town, to cry you a song
