What managers WOULD have taken the reading job?

[W.C.]

So Gus has rejected a club higher up the football league than us with a promise of a big transfer budget and, now I'm just guessing, a pay rise.

Much respect to him for that. We're very lucky.


But, what other managers, if they were working with us and were then offered the Reading job, would have jumped ship?

I'll start:


Steve Bruce. Off like a (potato faced) rat up a drainpipe.

 

[Box of Frogs]

Michael Appleton

 

[W.C.]

Dougie Freedman

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Michael Appleton

Twice.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Steve Coppell..... oh hang on.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

That gnome with the wet shirt Ian something

 

[The Modfather]

That gnome with the wet shirt Ian something

It would be hilarious if they went for Worzel

I may of missed something but has Gus been offered a big transfer budget?

Or is the transfer budget relating to Reading

 

[Lenny Rider]

Ron Atkinson or Steve Bleasdale

I was referring to the reported big transfer fee pot he'd get if Reading were relegated

 

[W.C.]

Steve Coppell..... oh hang on.

Think about it though, they are going to get relegated. How many managers want relegation on there CV?

Ailsa Stewart from Home and Away AKA Mark Hughes, he's got Reading written all over him.

 

[W.C.]

He must have been offered better money for a new job. And then, more money to play with when they are relegated.

PLENTY of managers would have gone for it.

Plenty of normal people would in another work environment.

I wonder if Sven would have thrown his hat into the ring?

 

[Shy Talk]

Micky Adams

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Brian McDermott

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Safe to say McGhee wouldn't
