readingbedding Good observation.
I mean McGhee only 'betrayed' us about 14 odd years ago.

rhroyal I haven't been on here for a while and I may have missed certain threads. However, I'm just making the observation that both McGhee and Pardew betrayed this club to move onto "bigger" things. In both cases, their move away would have been reasonably understandable had they not both been filled with lies, deceit and, in Pardew's base, a pure breach of the laws.
Well, how's it going for them now? After Pardew's brief success at West Ham, he's now been appointed at a bankrupted side a division below us, who will also start on -10 points. As for Mark McGhee, who has NEVER been able to get over the fact that Reading FC have moved further forward than he has (read some of his interviews, most notably one after we thrashed Brighton 5-1), he has taken a job with little or no prospects of winning any domestic trophies. To add to that, he had just lost his first game 5-1, destroying all hope of European football, a potential silver lining.
When you add to that the playing careers of the likes of Sonko, Shorey, Kitson, Little, even Sidwell, the message is clear. NO PLAYER OR MANAGER IS BIGGER THAN THEIR CLUB. Whatever the size. A lot of respect seems to have been taken out of football, and these cases are very satisfying in the light of this. Here's to a poor Real Madrid career for Ronaldo, and equally to Kevin Doyle flourishing at Wolves due to the constant humility and hard work he gave this club.

And we will still be giving him grief 14 years from now! Just shows the grass is not always greener on the other side. I believe had Mcghee stayed we would have up automaticly that season and he would have been one of the most sort after managers. Bruce Rioch got the Arsenal job after Bolton beat us in the play off final. Whose to say he wouldn't have got it had he stayed? No Reading fan would have begrudged him that job?

Agent Balti "Betray" - sweet baby cheeses. What next? Stoning him if he ever appears in Reading? Get over it. It's a job.
