Reading sack Brian McDermott

[officepest]

Just been announced. Pretty stupid decision I reckon, he got them up on a budget of about £10 and were always going to struggle, plus the new bloke will have nothing to spend anyway.

All the best for the future Bri, proper Gooner.

Sad, but maybe predictable, news... Have fond memories of McDermott (including the game at Notts County when Brian Kilcline crippled him !) as a player for us so hope he isn't out of the game too long.

Think Reading are a cert to finish bottom now

Di Canio may have done well for Swindon but look at the debt they are in - I think it was £13m in the end. That is a huge amount of a club like Swindon.

He will have little money at Reading, although they will obviously have that ridiculous parachute money for a couple of seasons. McDermott worked wonders in taking Reading up - I can't see Di Canio replicating that. He's a nutcase, too.

for me he will always be synomanous with our kit with the red and black hooped socks and the green away strip.totally pointless imfo there
