The Fans decide: poll for next manager

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Unfortunately I don't have a link. On the radio apparently...

TBF to Dowie, look at what he did with Palace, who were in a very similar to posiotion to the one we're in now.

We could do much, much worse.

Personally i dont think we could do much worse. Dowie's whole career revolves around half a season at Palace, thats it. The rest of his managerial career quite literally speaks for itself.

It will be McDermott full time.

Which means no money which means relegation.

Please. Don't get ahead of yourself.
There's no way it is going to be McDermott full time. NO WAY. Never going to happen.

Just watch m8.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

I really hope it isn't true. Got to be brutally honest here though - surely Fergie Jnr would choose Sheff Wed over us with their huge potential & fanbase?

Lots of jobs about at the moment. If there is any truth in JM not giving Rodgers cash, then would Fergie come here? He was given a fair bit of cash to bump Posh up the leagues wasn't he? Correct me if I'm wrong on that though..

I hope not but the club webby says he is to manage 'forthwith'. No mention of temporarily. He is also second in the betting odds.

I fear I really do......

[winchester_royal]

McDermott would not be the worst option.

We don't have time, especially in this busy period, for a completely new guy to come in and get familiarised with the team.

Bring back Pards.

He had the job till JM feel for Todger's act.

Just like his last time at the club except he wouldn't have to totally re build the club. Works well with BM and NH. What more do we want?

Can some explain what Ferguson has done to show he can work on a budget? He spent a fortune at Posh and even then they were Barry Fry's buys. We need a been there done that manager. Where has he been and what has he done to show he can work in the situation we are in. Back to back promotions are nothing to be sneered at, but he had players and a budget above the level of the rivals, thats the exact oposite of where we are. Ferguson will be a decent manager, like Rodger's. But at the moment we aint the club for a manager to learn.

Boobies, that is pathetic, even for you.
What Madejski wants is a manager who doesnt spend two million pounds on someone who doesnt play.

£1.1m, and that really isn't a lot for a young sort after central defender.___ As for the Chairman, he clearly wants someone who will go about his business quietly (Coppell), and not grunt and moan for money to spend. Rodgers didn't get much support at all. The next manager, whoever that may be, will know from the off that the ship is tight and he must work with what he has, with little money where possible.

I have no idea whether that's true or not - and nor, I suspect does anyone else outside the Club.

Pards may or may not be agood choice, but which part of the job would mean he wouldn't have to rebuild the Club. Maybe not the stadium, but the rest is a mess or have I got STG's.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

The way I see it is one of these 2 scenarios:

1) BR did have a blazing row with the club & left unexpectedly which could point to Brian getting the job FT as we weren't in the hunt for anyone

2) The writing was on the wall for BR, and the club sacked him with someone else in mind & they've moved quickly to ensure their target doesn't get snapped up elsewhere.

Which one is it?!!

[winchester_royal]

McDermott would not be the worst option.

We don't have time, especially in this busy period, for a completely new guy to come in and get familiarised with the team.

Yet, according to you, it seems we have time for a completely inexperienced man to learn his trade?

He's more experienced in football than Ferguson.

Posh Spending I've posted the spending at Posh before. He didn't spend that much at all. Look it up on their official website and you will see a great deal of their squad comes from L2 and non-league. They're record signing is six figures

The first one, no doubt about it.

JM would not have had the cojones to sack BR at this time. No way.

I have experience in football

I do not have experience of being a manager of a league football team

I'm inclined to agree at this point. The club is being bloody quiet.

How's that then, considering we are talking about the Reading 1st team job. There is a huge difference, as displayed by Rodgers.

But compared to other clubs at that level.

Plus I'd bet my house Barry's got some dodgey tax avoidance scheme going on.

We had the worst academy going, no scouting set up, no training ground, Nigel Howe running things and players that make this lot look half decent

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Theere's a reason why coaches are coaches & managers are managers. Giving it to Brian would be a grave error IMO but if he does get it then we have to get 100% behind him.
