Caskeys Lovechild RoyalBlue sandman Just read a quote from Trapattoni a few years ago when he was asked about picking Di Canio for Italy ''Di Canio for Italy? Only if there's an outbreak of buconic plague''. Hopefully AZ doesn't compound the mistake he's already made this week and takes a similar view with the Reading job.
It will actually be his first mistake.
I haven't heard an outcry of protest from other club chairmen regarding the decision he took and, as I've said elsewhere, it's very easy for pundits, other supporters and ex-players to take the righteous, holier than though, attitude when it's not their club in the position in which RFC finds itself.
What position? It's third highest since its establishment? Yes what an awful position to be in....
Here we go again. we should be grateful because having won the lottery they through most of the prize away but we're still better off than we were for so many years. 'Little Reading lack of ambition'
So when your house is repossessed and you are forced to downsize having worked so damn hard for so many years to get that house in the first place, you and yours will look with content and say 'this house is still the third best we have had since we got on the housing ladder'?
Having gone to the effort of typing this in response, I see that actually your point completely failed to address the original one that I made i.e very few of those who are currently critical of the conduct of Anton would have been screaming out for the retention of their manager if their team was bottom of the PL, no matter what that manager had done for them in the past.
By top level English football standards, McDermott got a pretty fair chance compared to most. Just look at the way Warnock and Adkins were treated for starters.
