As ever a level headed response from SC. Also goes a long way to explaining why he's now in the top 10 (8th I think) longest serving managers in England - despite the fact he's been with us less than 4 years!

Sir Steve crowned again

It’s a very competitive time of year when you are trying to attract players to your club. Such an award has got to be a selling point for you if players are maybe looking at Reading as a club from overseas, don’t know too much about it but then hear that you got the Manager of the Year award....
“Well you would think so wouldn’t you? I have to say I thought that might have been the case but I heard recently that we were quite serious about signing a player and the message came back to me that ‘the player concerned has no interest in talking to Reading’ (laughs).So in the real world come a Monday morning other things are looked at; the size of the club, the prospects, potential, the remuneration, all these things make a decision for a player. Maybe it just gives us more of an edge than we had last year but I am not going to bank on it.â€
