It's all been done. No more worries guys. Brian McDermott set to be appointed manager of Reading FC around 2.00pm tomorrow. Delays have been over issues with staff, particularly the recruitment of Sal Bibbo (currently at Arsenal). If I'm wrong (I'm not) shoot me down tomorrow! All aboard the Bibbo ...

Right - can we please stop with these ridiculous rumours now. I ran the idea of Brian coming back through one of his daughters last night on Facebook and she confirmed to me that he'll be here by Tuesday at latest. NO Guy Luzon. NO Dennis Bergkamp and NOBODY F**KING ELSE. If you don't believe me I'l...

Oscar Garcia's assistant (@rubenmaca) just tweeted:

We are ready!!!
Here we go!!!

and has started following Sky Bet Championship, The FL, and luckily - TFS Fulham.

I imagine he is off to Fulham and not us. Phew.

Betfair is an exchange site, so the odds you're seeing are the lowest odds that people are 'laying' at. Seriously fellas, pay very little attention to those odds. Last night there were about 20 managers at 1/100, including the likes of Alan Shearer. That was because the market was actually closed a...

New betting odds

Brian McDermott out to 3/10 from 1/6 and Stuart Gray surprisingly second favourite

Surely over-seeing is the same as watching...?

Lets have an in depth debate on the difference between over-seeing and watching. It's the HNA way.

You guys are obsessive.

Oh yes because questioning someone once on a one time comment is creating an in-depth debate.

You are OTT.

It's unlikely Gazza was wrong. McD was present at the training ground yesterday. He didn't say he took training, only over-saw it. Anthony Smith ‏@Smudgersport Martin Kuhl 'I was informed last night to prepare the team for Preston on Saturday'. #readingfc Surely over-seeing is the same as watching....

Brian McDermott did not take or watch training yesterday - Martin Kuhl

Charles Watts has just posted this. Who was the liar that said he did?

Just spoke to someone at Betfair and they are planning to reopen their betting market with these surprising new odds:

McDermott 4/9
Poyet 3/1
Garcia out at 8/1
Others in between 4/1 & 5/1 stretching to 50/1

If Sky were so confident in there being 3 candidates, one being Brian and two of which foreign, with a decision to be made after Saturday - why have they not put their betting market back up with those three individuals as clear favourites? Seems to me that every reporter is throwing shxt at a wall ...

He has Irish parents so he's Irish. How does Irish + Irish = English? I get that there is the whole picking your nationality based on either birthplace or lineage but Brian has definitely in the past said he would love to manage Ireland, he's never said the same for England, that would suggest to m...

but both his parents are Irish. Irish blood + Irish blood does not = English blood.

You can be born in Venezuela and still be English, same way you can be born in Slough and still be Irish.

Charles Watts @McDermolenko At the time of writing mate, it was. Not just me reporting that either. BBC, Sky all went with it - something changed. 9:27am · 10 Dec 2015 @McDermolenko Welcome to the new Reading Football Club mate. So many people trying to make one decision. 9:33am · 10 Dec 2015 · @McD...

Now also been confirmed that the two in competition are foreign managers.

Garcia + ???

Also being told Reading will not be announcing who their new manager is until after Sat game. Brian McDermott is 1 of the final 3 candidates

Looks like you have a 2/3 chance of losing £60.

Great.

I stuck £60 on Brian this morning at 1/6 hoping for a quick and easy tenner but this has now happened and I now sit here feeling like a bell. Do any ITKs on here know if it's definite? Did he actually turn up for training this morning? I love you all so don't mess me about. What a stupid oxf*rd bet...
