winchester_royal2 world wars, 1 world cup It's exciting I give you that, certainly INFINITELY more exciting than Eamo getting in. I definitely don't want to be negative. But can you blame me after what we have been through over the years? The men who betrayed us owed so much to us, yet were despicable. This guy will owe us nothing.
I do want to believe you, so I'm all up for positivity but to laugh it off as you are concerns me. You have to at least admit its a tiny concern, even if you are quite positive it will be ok in the end.
I know you're a good chap winch, so I don't want to flame you, and I certainly don't want to be dragging this up in several years. You of all ppl I don't want to be gloating at!
Of course nobody wants to lose a successful manager, but if Poyet does come and gets us to a position where he is offered the Chelsea/Arsenal job then we'd be in for a fantastic 2/3 years and we'll have a real foothold to establish ourselves with the right appointment after that, like Swansea did with Laudroup. We're a small club, and any manager that brought that kind of success would have bigger admirers and would follow the same course of action. I'd worry about hiring any manager who wants Reading FC to be the pinnacle of his career, as that to me suggests a clinical lack of ambition.
Yes, if he joined then I'd prefer it if he didn't go round whoring himself out. But I don't think he's been doing that, and those are just a couple of quotes taken out of context.
We'll see I guess...this will most likely end up being a pointless discussion anyway.
I see what you're saying, even if I respectfully disagree and still have concerns. You're right after all this we'll probably wake up to Bullivant being given a second chance. At least he never left us for a bigger club! :p
