[royalZILLAAA]

You think Leeds under Brian McDermott will employ the up and under?

..and the subsequent spear tackle on the airborne defender

If not top 6 at Xmas fear it will be an Exit for Brian

Majority of Reading fans when previous manager is appointed at a new club - 'Good luck Brian'

Majority of Saints fans when previous manager is appointed at a new club - 'F*ck off Nigel'

Difference in class.

Interesting appointment.

Leeds have a history of violent and aggressive tactics - I hope Brian can bring the best out of them, as we were stupidly fair and sportsmanlike.

It also sets up the inevitable, return to Madejski game too, which will be nice.

Isn't he injured for the season?

Their gain


Delighted for the fellah, it'll be a toughie though.

A shame that his success severed all links

[Ian Royal]

Glad to see him back on the horse so quickly, although thought he might do better with a little longer to reflect on the mistakes of this season and what he might do differently in future. Best of luck to him, a good job to take.

[YateleyRoyal]

In all seriousness, was it too difficult to look for the right thread in the right place? This already exists elsewhere.

Twitter and the Saints forums were full of angry fans slating Adkins for choosing us and hoping it doesn't work out for him here the day he was appointed.

i hate leeds with a passion. it is regrettable that bm is there now since he is such a classy gent and they are a trashy club. when the news broke that he signed with them i texted my mate who is a united fan who also hates leeds that bm has gone off to manage them he said that bm is to good for them as well. bm is highly respected in the football world, even outside of reading and it truly is a shame to see him go there.

He's just been on sky and said that when he was sacked he still believed Reading could stay up

Yes and....Adkins is spouting the same manta

what would be the point of them saying that they dont believe we have a chance of staying up? dont you think that would piss off fans? i assume NA, SJM, AZ, and all the players know that we are down theyre just trying to keep the fans happy.

The difference, Adkins is our manager, he can't just say 'we're down', even though he knows we are. Brian doesn't need to keep that line of patter going.

[AthleticoSpizz]

All a bit subjective tho' BB

so that means the 'majority' does it?

"I had to pick myself for about three days," McDermott told Sky Sports News. "After that, I just wanted to move forward."

And they're off...

Good luck, Brian. I suspect you're going to need it. You wont get much time to get it right there, and the minute you struggle at the wrong end of the table for several games, the daggers will be out.

LOL at their fans thinking McCarthy and Le Fondre are on their way!
