Oilroyal Speculation over Brian's back room staff, Gibbs at Spurs and Bibbo at Arsenal. I guess this will cost ££.
BM is only part of the equation. Little point in coming back without a team in whom you can trust as well.

Platypuss Just so we all know where we stand, this sub-forum is for discussion of The Team, not its users.
Any off topic-post runs a risk of being deleted, and in particular, any posts by, replying to, or about Dave Royal will be deleted on sight.
And that's my last word on the topic.

Oilroyal Charlie Watts on twitter saying the hold up is coming from the Thai end of the business as the UK decision makers were all for appointing BM last week. Speculation over Brian's back room staff, Gibbs at Spurs and Bibbo at Arsenal. I guess this will cost ££.
I hope this gets sorted soon with BM confirmed before Hull.
Quiet in here tonight.

One8Seven1*DangerousDogNonce 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!
I hope you get shot.. no offence!
Nice to have a man with integrity back, but he wont be able to manage the egos that are here now. He struggled with the couple he had in the Premier League! Then there's the added pressure the Thai's will place on him to get us up. It's no longer a nice of you could; it's a must do and ASAP! We'll be looking for another manager by next Christmas.

I suspect there could be a lot going on - McD, backroom, Arsenal, .

Indeed, at my last job change, I held things up for three days as I couldnt find a doctor, lawyer, bank manager to sign the back of my photograph; and I couldnt find time to change the ink on my home printer. Not sure if either of these things are holding Brian up.
Even if those are issues - Still doesnt explain why Martin Kuhl is insistent he hasnt seen Brian around.

Hoop BlahMan Friday Lowest wages and given £2.5 for PL. No wonder we struggled. It's not rocket science. The bloke at Bayern Munich couldn't have kept us up. It's a miracle we amassed so many points. All credit to Brian for that.
We didn't have the lowest wages and we didn't spend just £2.5m on new players though. It's not rocket science.

Z175 Theres some media talk that Arsenal are bringing in Steve Walsh, the Leicester head of recruitment as Chief Scout. Perhaps McDermott is just honouring his scouting committments ahead of the January window, while the deal for Walsh is tied up? With all the hype he is getting over Mahrez and Vardy I'm sure that wouldn't be a quick deal. Might also explain the media blackout too...
If another manager was seriously in the frame you would really have expected more leaks.
