Poyet NOT to Reading thread

[ROKERITE]

Out of interest, who is it you support?

The Rokerites, as was, Sunderland; quite possibly swapping places with you in a couple of months.

I don't think he is

He wasn't

Does being a premier team mean you have a better squad ? it hasn't helped blackburn bolton or wolves - yes I think our squad is at least on a par if not superior

I appreciate your view point, but I just can't see it. I believe we have the weakest squad in the division, but I still think it is stronger than the whole of the Championship. It is very much the same squad that won the division last year, or if not improved. You have some notable quality players in your squad, but I'm afraid it doesn't match to the depth and experience in our squad.

Evening gents. I have been hovering over the forum for a little while now and have seen a couple of posts that have simply baffled me, but I couldn't believe this one. Inferior squad? Please can you elaborate.

What is the word on the street in Reading about your manager's job?

Ah cheers, is it an old nickname? I'm only young after all

No, I genuinely don't know. Don't recall seeing any of his posts before and don't recognise the name 'Rokerite' if it applies to a football club.

Look up Roker Park

He's a youngster and probably not heard of Roker Park.

Reading can do one. Tiny industrial estate that is a shit hole.

This is most certainly the case! I've heard of places like Ninian Park, the Dell, etc, but never Roker Park...

Nah, that'll be Reading

Fair enough.

By that logic then Mcdermott is a much better manager than Gus for getting Reading promoted with an inferior squad then?!

Would be very disapointed and surprised if he did go to Reading but the only thing I could console myself with is that he didn't go to Southampton which was my fear all season.

You have some notable quality players in your squad, but I'm afraid it doesn't match to the depth and experience in our squad.

With regards to the wider issue though - I'm not sure how relevant that is to the actual question. When you go down, you will lose a lot of those players and would probably have a similar quality side to ours and other Championship teams. Whereas if we go up, we could built our squad to the level of yours (or higher, but I am not interested in that argument). So it's still very much a temporary upwards move.

I agree, we are doomed. But because the fact our squad is the weakest in the division, I can't see many players leaving and for those reasons, I am quietly confident we can go back up with the right person in charge. The reasons teams have faltered when getting relegated was they lost notable players and couldn't replace them, the likes of Newcastle and West Ham had the financial means that they didn't have to sell their squad when they went down, I feel we would be in the same position.

I am including Upson and Bridge - but if you also add in Vicente, Lopez Bridcutt, Kuzack, Buckley,Ulloa we have the spine of a lower prem squad

Would there be money to spend at Reading should Poyet go? I can't recall them spending any money in the transfer window to try to stay in the premier league.

I'm actually embarrassed for you

What if I told you Roker Park was closed when I was 3?

Can we have Martin O'Neill please if Gus does leave?
