Strong rumours that Portsmouth are looking to replace Danny Cowley & Co. with 36 year old John Mousinho…still a current oxf*rd player.

If true, that’s one hell of a gamble.

of course, but Jim and Mick were kind’ve coerced into it by timing and situation, the other two had a bit more pedigree (than a mainly non-league career who ended up at oxf*rd) about them.

Assuming that John has achieved the relevant managerial experience (assistant coach at oxf*rd fc?)

And Jim and Mick started off as part of a managerial team of four - that went down to just the two of them almost immediately.

Curious. What promises were those?

Given that the main bone of contention for McGhee before he left was that the board wouldn't sanction the signing of the lad from Palace , Williams (I think) I'd be fascinated to know what came after?

From recollection of one of their podcasts, it was relating to their own new contracts

Yes, I think it was that the club never committed to them ahead of the following season, then on top of it all, they were dumped for Terry the Taxi despite successfully keeping Reading in the second tier on what was always a “survival only” budget. They deserved a shot at managing on a “promotion” budget, certainly wouldn’t have done as bad in that last season at EP as their replacement if they had remained and the club and Reading may well have then avoided the disastrous reign of TB2 and that dreadful period back in tier 3.

Yeah, pretty much that (except the club had verbally committed to them, but then sacked them)

Either way, remember feeling pretty much gutted for them at the time.

Should have stayed at Derby and built his way up

I get it’s almost impossible to reject an offer from such a big club so close to his own heart but it’s done his career no favours
