Brian: The right decision?

[melonhead]

What, you mean like last time we were relegated?

erm.

yes.

there is no denying we are a bigger club now after our 2nd stint in the prem than we were before our first, that money is/was doing exactly that- enabling us to run as a business, keep good players, buy decent ones, get a training ground etc

its a long term thing though, so just taking snapshots every year or so isnt really going to yield much insight

[Biscuit_Boy]

So 46% yes, 42% no and 11% not sure. What did the other 1% think?

Rounding would be the normal explanation.

just f*ck off ok, let it die

No problem, whatever you think is best

No offence to you has a poster, but 34 pages on a guy that left us 3 months ago is just taking the piss

[sandman]

Not when a lot of people have great respect for that person. Someone like yourself who doesn't seem to have much respect for anything might see him just as a guy "who left us 3 months ago" but others see him as a guy who was here for over a decade during the most successful periods in the clubs history, in various roles and was Reading through and through.

This.

Come next season, we'll be still getting updates on Leeds and Brian and debating how the Leeds team are getting on, why he's played those tactics, who is playing where and why blah blah blah.....

Of course, if Leeds are above us it will all be about 'what we are missing' and ' why he should not have been sacked'. If we are ahead of Leeds it will all be about 'how we got it right'.

I can't wait.

[Royalee]

Le Fondre's the latest player to slate his tactics and coaching then...isn't that about half the squad now?

Talking of people who don't seem to have much respect for anything.

He screwed up, he's gone. Get over it.

wish to f*ck he would, all this oxf*rd over Brian is getting pretty tiresome.

[Siddy]

time will tell. based on the last few games,no.

[Man Friday]

I must confess, I haven't seen the "improvement" that others profess to have seen. As the last poster said, time will tell. Nigel's had the opportunity to hit the ground running next season so if we're struggling by, say, Christmas then it doesn't look like it's working.

So tiresome that those with nothing better to do keep reading it and complaining about how tiresome it has become.

Seem to remember last time we were relegated we couldn't afford to keep our players and the drop was the excuse used by RTG's as to why we had black holes and unavoidable sales.

Now going up, investing f/ck all and getting relegated is a strategy for making money?

Depends what you consider an improvement.

Results? Possibly a slight improvement.

Style of football? Massive improvement.

I dare say the style of football will get better, and I imagine that when we get the player NA wants, the results will also improve. Obviously being in a lower division, one would like to think that the results would improve anyway, but the method to getting the results should hopefully ensure that if we do succeed and finish the season promoted, we may stand a better chance at staying up.

To be honest, anyone who can't see an improvement in the way RFC were playing towards the end of the season, probably doesn't want to see an improvement.
