West Brom can't afford to take any risks with their next appointment. It wont be Adkins. If it was though, then he'd have a set of players better suited to passing football, much like Rodgers when he walked into Swansea. Then our retarded fans will sit here, like they eventually did with Rodgers, and moan we let him go.

So people are choosing Dolan because of one backs to the wall game at OT?

Really?! I suppose it is the Reading Way but I'm bored of the Reading Way.

I think people are choosing Dolan because of the fantastic job he's done in charge of the academy for a number of years, the exciting attacking football which the academy sides play, the fact that as a club we seem to be focused on bringing our own through, how he did a more than decent job as Exeter manager before joining us, and yes, the fact that the performance at OT last season was as positive as any we've seen in the last 18 months.

I would love some mental Holloway press conferences. Would cheer me up no end.

Brilliant, having to find a new manager when the club's ownership is up in the air is exactly what we need.

Wouldn't blame him at all for taking the job if offered. Hasn't done great here by any means but doesn't deserve the hate he gets, and with an uncertain future at Reading he'd be mad not to take a long-term contract at an established PL club.

Straight swap for Steve Clarke please, or Dolan failing that. Could wait a few weeks and get BFS in 8)

I think we all miss the Reading way a bit actually, that's why I think Dolan would be a decent choice.

Arise, Sir Phil of Parkinson.


That would be the worst move ever. He would fail and then get pelters

Rather not go down that route


How do you know that he'd fail? Most thought Brian would fail and he didn't.

You don't whether he or anyone else would "fail" until they get the job.

I'm glad it's not your decision


At least we'd have a laugh

Depresses me that people find Holloway amusing. No, he's a sour little twat.

Then again, we are a nation who seems to find Mrs Brown's Boys amusing.

I'll be gutted if Nige goes. I also want him to see the job through, with some backing would be nice. If he does go, I'd love Ollie in or failing that, Dolan would get us playing some good stuff, If not a tad more direct.

At last, someone speaking some sense.

If we can't afford Kean we should bring Sven in from the Chinese wilderness.

'Greed re Holloway. Not really amusing at all, although to call him a sour little twat is harsh.

Mega 'greed re MBB
