Libertine Why hire him in the first place if the owners had no confidence in him doing the job?

photographer The Thais want to go to the Premier League. Everyone knows this. Why should the Thais give Brian millions to spend considering the crap he has brought into the club every season he has been with us (Blackman, Akpan, Kermit, Manset, Shorey, etc).
And why should the Thais trust him to coach, manage and inspire premier league players when Brian has fallen out with Premier League players (remember Guthrie?), saying that they prefer Adkins to McDermott. He has proven this season that he couldn't inspire the premier league players on loan here, as shown by their performances on the pitch. If Brian can't inspire premier league players to beat Huddersfield, then why would the Thais 'give him a chance' to pour even more of their money down the drain?
If the Thais were here for the short term, they would have kept Brian here for a comfortable and stable future of mid-table positions every year, while they rake the cash in from REP. Thankfully, from Brian's sacking, it looks as though that's not the case. Not only do they want to go to the premier league. They want to stay there. Something McDermott could never offer.
Brian didn't give European Championship winner Daniel Carrico a chance after just 5 months at Reading. Why should we give Brian a chance to waste money on his useless transfers? We all know McDermott is terrible at scouting and managing players.
Good job Thais

I think they did have confidence in him. They must have said to him in the interview, "you need to make improvements, because we're pretty rubbish at the moment".
6 months later and we've gotten worse in pretty much every department? He has to be held responsible. Sack him all day.
If they said to him "Brian, don't worry about this season, it's a write off", then yeah, it's a harsh sacking. But I doubt very much they said that.
All McDermott (2nd time around) did was make Steve Clarke look like a good manager.

Every manager makes duff signings. Every manager. They aren't going to give anyone many millions to spend so it's a bit of a moot point. The Thais want to go to the Premier League? Well a manager who's secured promotion to the PL with the club would seem a fairly sensible option then wouldn't he.

Just an idea

royalp-we But maybe Ian, just maybe, Brian stated in his interview, alongside JM and NH, that he will get the current squad to finish the second half of the season strongly.
Sometimes it really is as simple as that.
