howser Pearcy, isnt McD the master of his own destiny, as he scouted the players that won us the championship and we got them for a snip, is he not being expected to do the same again ??

Alan Partridge Not sure that's a big issue. Can't imagine there's many if any that buy tickets and season tickets on what the chairman says. Actions speak louder than words and whilst no doubt about it big name signings or intent will put bums on seats, not sure RFC or any club will lose many of there existing fan base.
What I find really hard to fathom is how this 'well run club' can't seemingly do what every other club in the country can do and sign a couple of players in positions where there are obvious massive holes. Even Portsmouth have been able to get Sonko and the full back from Stoke as they are short. How can a club that whilst I accept has had to be a lot more stringent on the transfer coffers this year, simply be in a position where signing half decent players on loan is complete pie in the sky. Going into championship matches with Gunnarsson and Pearce at centre back (without a massive injury crisis out of the blue) is completely unacceptable in my opinion. Feel sorry for Mcdermott because he'll take the can for this when results inevitably get worse if these two remain at centre half for an extended length of time.
McDermott is the first RFC manager for a LOT of years, we're talking 15-20 years to be given literally nothing on a player budget for a season. How can things be that bad here?

brighton_royal Shall we have a whip round to ship Rasiak's lead-lined concrete boots out to Cyprus?

From the looks of things BM doesn't even have the limited resources to be fair that these guys cost. He also doesn't have the advantage that Coppell had and that's previous experience and contacts in the game. A lot of early Coppell signings were players that had done the business for him at other clubs.

That Friday Feelinghowser My only regret is the bollox of "getting back into the Premiership" that he spouts at the start of each season, when it clearly wouldn't appear to be that way.
Bums on seats mate. He's hardly going to say "could be a tough year, be lucky to stay up" is he?
tbh anyone buying STs in the expectation of a premier league push at board level is a mug. If it happens it'll happen at Hogwood and on the pitch.
Love him or loathe him JM has never been anything but straight up about the financial position of the club and how he's prepared to fund it.
Maybe those that want more investment in the team should have declined the ST price reduction.

That's right, I mean it isn't as if an ambitious big spending club like Forest would go into a season without a recognised left, then sign one on loan for a few months before finishing the season without a left back again. Is it?
We have three centre backs, the same number we had at the start of the 05/06 season.

paultheroyal Back on thread i for one am delighted Rasiak has gone. Journeyman not suited to Reading FC and although he served a purpose, his time has come.
Thank you and goodbye.

One of which wasn't injured before a ball was kicked in that case. Gunnarsson was also 4/5 years younger.
