Bloody long way en all, i bet players with the choice of the likes of Hibs or Hearts or a move to Aberdeen would probably rahter go to Edinburgh, every game is an absolute mission.Harpers So Solid Crew wrote:Scottish football is skint, players earn more at level 3 in England than many in the Prem in Scotland.

I think that the majority of Reading fans in the early 90s knew that MM would move on to bigger and better things. he completely changed to profile of the club and we also played some of the best football I have seen from a Reading team. I am at a complete loss why he has not made more of his attributes since leaving us.Cripple Creek wrote:McGhee's career trajectory is very strange indeed. I believe he really was Reading's best ever manager if you take circumstances, the money he had to deal with and the way in which he got Reading to play into account. The way he turned us into something from pretty nothing with no resources was almost Cloughesque. I didn't imagine for a minute he would stay at Reading and genuinely believed he would at this stage be one of the UK's top managers. I can't believe he was just a flash in the pan but there doesn't really seem any other explanation.
That and he got a bit lazy.Svlad Cjelli wrote:I think because he started believing his own publicity and stopped listening to others and taking their advice.
Totally agree with all of the above. David Pleat always maintains that McGhee made a rod for his back by prematurely bailing out at Reading and Leicester in the way that he did.Terminal Boardom wrote:I think that the majority of Reading fans in the early 90s knew that MM would move on to bigger and better things. he completely changed to profile of the club and we also played some of the best football I have seen from a Reading team.

all of the above - why did he never hang around at any club long enough to build a strong club and a strong reputation? baffles me - he is such a good manager.Negative_Jeff wrote:Totally agree with all of the above.
