Looking at PPG right now is a nonsense analysis.
Alot of people seem to want to give McDermott only 8 or 10 matches at the start of next season and if results haven't improved by then want him to face the chop. This is just completely ridiculous. We brought him in to do a certain type of job in a Reading sort of a way and then we just sack him without giving him a chance to even do the job. Total madness.
Next season is going to be a huge struggle for Reading FC and one summer transfer window is unlikely to be enough for Brian to work miracles unless he receives huge financial backing from the board which is highly unlikely.
With the huge amount of change that will take place over the summer, (Change that Brian has no choice to deal with because of the mess laid down by his predecessors) next season is most likely to be a huge struggle where staying in the division will be a good achievement for us. I will be supporting Brian with the main aim of keeping us in the Championship and starting to put in place a group of younger, hungry players that will carry the club forward in the future. I will follow the Royals home and away and for me success is staying up. If he keeps us up next year, I'll be delighted and I'll be singing McDermott Whoah, McDermott Whoah. He used to manage Slough, he is a Royal now.
Next year, success means survival. Then we build year by year a new challenge to go for promotion.
