Well as i live only 11 miles from Reading and have a few mates who support them and think he is a "Reading legend" often said to me that they lost respect for Charlton when they sacked him, I used to ask them would they swap him for Mcdermitt, well i hope he joins them and see what a great manger he isnt.
Sometimes football defies logic. Sack a bloke who got you into the premiership on a shoe string and replace him with someone who is struggling to win the second division with one of the biggest clubs. LOL
OK below is a list of the second division clubs in their current order, please point out the ones which are bigger clubs than Bradford. (This should be good, I'm waiting)
Can't see him getting it. A big difference between being linked and genuine interest. Surely he doesn't have the experience they need. Mind you, stranger things have happened.
Parkie deserves to move up a league or two but I doubt it will be Reading, it would be a half sensible decision, but getting rid of McDermott was a stupid decision, so expect an unknown foreign manager
50k a year would explain why he got our job full time and kept it for so long. Aren't Reading still in the PL? Why would they sack McD for someone with no credentials? Being a nice bloke does not make you a PL level manager, especially when Adkins is available. My advice to Phil would be take the pay rise and spend the next few years on the project to get Bradford out of the bottom division which is "work in progress". If he did go to Reading he'd soon end up unemployed.
I can't see PP getting the Reading job. It'll go to a foreigner, perhaps with some Prem/FL experience, or to a British manager who is in between jobs; an Adkins type
They're relegated. Mcdermott was much more likely to get promoted. Adkins would be a fool to take it, should take cardiff/leicester a club who failed to go up but are ambitious and willing to over spend in the prem. I honestly can't see any capable manager taking it: bit like wolves last season. They can only go for a champ manager or below. Someone like Saunders before he took wolves: Unless they go for trap door Dowie.

Top bloke deserves big break
