Top bloke Brian McDermott. Has done a great job at Reading and deserved much much better than this. My local side and would no doubt be a fan if I wasn't already long wed to the mighty Addicks. Hope he gets something very good as his next job.
Despite various possible sackings rumours of CP this season it has not happened and I think our board deserve some credit for not being trigger happy following the results after his appointment and some of the runs this season.

Agreed, it's a bit boring, all the threads slagging off our owners for 'hypothetically' sacking CP.
Back on thread, another ridiculous sacking. It's after the transfer window, so (unlike Harry R at QPR) a new manager can't bring any new players in, so all the new manager can do is train/motivate the existing players better !?!
I better Harry R is pumping the air at the moment!
It'll be interesting to see who gets the job - allegedly di Canio was at the Reading game at the weekend. Co-incidence or has he been tapped up to replace McDermott and reading pulled the trigger before their preferred candidate takes a job elsewhere?

Whilst wishing he was pumping his daughter in law.

You don't know what might have happened if their hands weren't financially tied.
Yeah, I can really see Di Canio turning Reading around since he'l have to use the same players that McDermott used as the transfer window is now shut.
Not only that but Reading's players - with a new broom coming in - will now know that they probably will be moved on in the summer anyway so how hard will they be trying now?
Another dopey Russian twat in charge with more money than sense, I hope they go down and any Reading fans who booed McDermott or called for his sacking should hang their heads in shame.
It no co-incidence that Wigan have stayed up as long as they have, Whelan BACKS his managers and doesn't panic.
Well I'd say he had it coming tbf. For most of the season the analysts have been pointing out that it's oh so easy to get down their flanks & they conceed so many goals this way. Yet he's done nothing to address this. The left back, Harte ( he's about 50 :-) & was playing in Div 3 for Carlisle a couple of years ago, is about as quick as Doherty & on Saturday he couldn't even stand up. He just fell over with no one near him.
Most weeks their defence gets ripped by the opposition & by the analysts, yet he's done nowt about it.

To be fair the Russian owner has hardly swamped him with funds, has he?

And loyalty.
Richly rewarded.
Want to be a manager of a prem club forget the tv and get back on the bus

Much better managers around in my opinion.
