No. He was the cheap option and now we're paying for it.

Not sure yet, he needs more time.

I blame the chairman for not supporting him in the transfer market.

Manager Backing?

by roadrunner » 18 Sep 2010 17:22

I don't for one minute have any doubts over Brian's ability as Reading manager, but the below post was raised in the Boro match thread earlier so I put it to you; do you back the gaffer, is your support waning, is the wrong man in charge?

Avon Royal Just out of interest, how much of this crap do we have to endure before we can question Brian's suitability for the job?

Just asking.

You were looking for attention and now you've got it. I'd have thought you'd be happy.

This is where we are at nowadays due to the annual £4m deficit, no worries about Mcd, but he can only do what he can with tools he is given, I found it fascinating that after hearing Coppell go on about being "happy with what we have" we now have McD is coming out with a similar line , or is this the line given to them by the gods from above, makes them sound not so bad,............. and of course who would want to replace him ? who would come here with Madejski in charge, after all he is the man who says we have a great team.

I can hardly contain my joy.

It's wonderful how anyone who even thinks about questioning the almighty Brian is set upon like some sort of heretic.

I detested the appointment of BM and was very vocal about it here.

But I put my hands up and admit I totally mijudged the guy and am now a big fan.

Has done INCREDIBLY WELL since he's been in charge.

Do I back Madejski though? You must be f**King joking.

Can we afford to sack another manager? We'd probably have to sell off the televisions in the plush media suite if we did.

You can't blame Brian for the departure of basically anyone worth selling over the last 2 years.

Heretic, no. Idiot, perhaps.

It makes you sound like the kind of moron who calls post-match phone-ins to say the manager has lost the plot.

One defeat and you lot go off on one.

Pathetic.

The person who best deserves to be asked that question is Madejski who seems to have great difficulty backing his pretty able managers with the funds they need to be able to compete effectively at this level. Of course they all say that there aren't players available who can add to what we've already got - presumably they're not too keen to fill the dressing room with monkeys feeding off the peanuts that are available.

And we've lost more than one game but the rose tints presumably obscure the results sheet.

I don't see many going "off on one" as you put it. Avon Lady seems to be a bit miffed though.

Give him my backing, still not sure about just playing 1 up, McNuff needs a kick up the backside, this QPR thing pre-season seems to have had some affect on his performances this season.

So how much funds should the chairman be paying out of his own pocket every year?
