Brian McDermott sacked

Who ever they appoint it won't save them

Manager of the month for January. About time we had a transfer window for managers to stop this craziness.

 

[Biscuit]

Reading FC may as well ask Chris Huhne to be the gaffer - They'll take three points from anywhere.

 

[APACHE]

Foreign owner, saids it all.

Managers are not transferred

He has been sacked (but will still have contract paid up)
Theoretically gus could sack a player, for example Barnes, for under achievement.

Poyet to Reading?

 

[Paris]

Reading have been letting in far too many goals. They need a manager who can sure up their defence. It's such a difficult job to take on at this stage of the season. Surely whoever they go for will have the opportunity to get them back up when the inevitable happens. With that in mind, Nigel Adkins if he wants it.

Poyet to Reading?

Have you been looking at the Barnsley message board perchance?

Regarding the sacking of McDermott, I think Stan Collymore summed it up perfectly last night i.e. "It's a bloody disgrace!"

 

[severnside gull]

would Reading's Russian owner employ an avowedly fascist Di Canio as manager? Funny as f**k IMO!

 

[Icy Gull]

just like mcCarthy at wolves last season, pointless and a bit stupid i think....

Is that the number of points the new manager can expect over the next few games?

I doubt if being an avowed acolyte of Il Duce would preclude Di Canio from being employed by a desperate foreign owner tbh. Money's far more important in football these days than the minor irritation of a head-mental, neo-fascist saving your arse (even if it does Google-off & alienate half the support). Likeable Baldies For Show: Fascists For Dough. Innit.

Unfortunately it seems sacked managers do not so readily get their contracts paid up, it usually becomes a long and drawn out process, irrespective of their legal entitlement.

I am not sure Gus could sack a player for underachievement, he might give him a free transfer or make things uncomfortable for him, training with the kids etc. but he couldnt force him out of the club if he is within his contractual period.

 

[mune ni kamome]

I guess in theory anyone with a contract could be sacked for breaching it. For example refusing to train etc.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Taking into consideration the clubs position in the league and the tough games yet to play cant think that any decent manager would fancy his chances of avoiding relegation.
Last season many supporters felt we had missed out, looking at Southampton and Reading now few would want to swap places.

If they appoint Di Canio it will surely be the worst ever appointment in football. I can genuinely see them losing every single game with that arrogant fruit cake in charge
