Eco Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sacked, not sure what the owner expected from this season but they've still got a good chance of survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC101 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I was talking about managers earlier today and I said McDermott will be the next manager to be sacked. I personally don't think they can stay up. I can see Nigel Adkins going to them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Always comes across as a genuine guy. Got manager of the month in Jan, hope Reading go down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I hope if we ever get to the prem, we will appreciate the small fish big pond idea and not over spend, don't sack the manager, just treat it as the laugh it will be and in terms of money etc, plan for relegation. The number of clubs who over spent in the prem and expected too much is very high. Compare QPR to fulham or swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 If they do hire the dire and overrated Di Canio, they're sure to get relegated. Might as well take Saunders off of Wolves... SkySports say he was in the stands for their match on the weekend. However, doesn't mean he was there cus' he's already been lined up for the job. However Reading are only down the road from his last club so may prefer to stay in the area. However I might be reading into things too much.

Brizzle Jordan Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 His record as manager W 76 D 43 L 50 Winning % 44.97 Respectable. Anything over 40% IMO is decent. When Mourinho is above the 65% mark over the whole of his career it really is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I can only imagine that it is a last throw of the dice to keep them in the Prem. It's harsh as I think he did a very good job but owners will try anything to stay up nowadays. They obviously haven't seen how well it worked for Wolves last year. Lets face it if Mick McCarthy was still in charge there they would not be languishing in a championship relegation battle and would be pushing to get back into the prem instead.

Alex_BCFC Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 It is a stupid sacking. McDermott probably would have had them in the top 6 in Championship next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Nice bloke who loved his football! Nigel Adkins is a good shout Nigel Adkins is on gardening leave from Southampton, so he legally can not sign for another club. As Southampton are still paying his wages. My bet would be Roberto Di Matteo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 SOD to Reading anyone? Never gonna happen. They won't want him and even if they do I don't think he's the sort of bloke that'd go. I'd have BMc down here to help with coaching though. Great coach, should not have been sacked. Seems like he'd fit with SO'D's philosophy, but probably too deadbeat to have them both here!!!

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 eems a harsh decision indeed, could well backfire. I can only imagine that it is a last throw of the dice to keep them in the Prem. It's harsh as I think he did a very good job but owners will try anything to stay up nowadays. They obviously haven't seen how well it worked for Wolves last year. Lets face it if Mick McCarthy was still in charge there they would not be languishing in a championship relegation battle and would be pushing to get back into the prem instead. I dunno- Wolves transfer budget was comparable to other bottom half sides, wage budget too- they had stagnated and were on a truly appalling run. Three, at most League wins since August. No their problem was not sacking McCarthy as such, their problem was finding nobody who remotely resembled adequate replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Fred Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 if this is no more than a roll of the dice to stay up its even more ridiculous..they have nine games left,if you take account who they play in their next two{from which they wont get any points}....madness.
