TheWearing During his time as chief scout he scouted some of Reading's great players. Doyle, Lita, Long, Gunnarsson, Sigurdsson (Academy) Matt Mills, Cummings. All the coverage goes to the managers, even though he is the one who recommend then to the manager.

I hope who ever is doing his job in his stead, is doing as good a job

TheWearing For me he is not getting the credit he deserves.
You never hear about him in the press, never on sky sports news. The job he has done for us since he took over from Rodgers.
When he took over we were: 20th with 23 points after losing 4-1 to Plymouth who were then relegated.
He then guided us to 9th on 63 points, 7 points adrift of the play offs.
He then guided us last season to the play off final, with limited investment.
After we lost to Man City in the FA Cup quarter finals, we had limited media coverage.
Even though we received 82 points in the last calendar league.
He is not even up for manager on the month for December! Even though we lost once and won 4 consecutive matches.
He is operating with limit funds, and the job he has done has been very impressive. He has a better win% compared to Coppell. Which is a incredible achievement (even though 2 seasons were in the premiership)
During his time as chief scout he scouted some of Reading's great players. Doyle, Lita, Long, Gunnarsson, Sigurdsson (Academy) Matt Mills, Cummings. All the coverage goes to the managers, even though he is the one who recommend then to the manager.
Perhaps McDermott prefers doing his job without getting praise or negative input from the media. Goes along with the job in the shadows.

Bandini Significant areas of him are exposed to the elements.

floyd__streete Brian is basically the managerial equivalent of Elm Park; a bit shabby looking but much loved by the locals.
