Reading Football Club has announced today the departure of Manager Brian McDermott. Owner Anton Zingarevich wishes to place on record his thanks to Brian who had achieved great success with the club since taking over as Manager in December 2009.

Brian gained promotion to the Barclays Premier League last year for only the second time in the club’s history thanks to a remarkable run at the end of last season. However, in our current situation, owner Anton Zingarevich felt that a change was necessary.

The search for a successor will start immediately and it is hoped that a new Manager will be in place as soon as possible to lead the fight against potential relegation.

Absolutely gutted. This decision is, for me, far more disappointing than the mistakes we have made elsewhere this season.

Sad for him but pleased as we need a lift. It's not quite over, but is under the current management.

[Lacoste]

Happy with this but thanks, Brian for everything.

Too masny mistakes this season to keep your job.

[Ouroboros]

Extraordinary timing.

Not happy.

Anton Zingarevich says "a change was necessary" and search for a successor to lead fight against relegation starts immediately.

Meltdown.

[Bowman's Quiver]

I'm staggered and appalled.

[trueroyal1871]

Thanks for all the memories Brian, you're a top top bloke it's just time the club moved on and I'm glad that it's happened sooner rather than later. URZZZZZZ

[southbank1871]

Fukk this, why now?

[Lacoste]

Antons decision is correct however if this decision has been made to avoid the drop, it has happened about 6 months too late.

[Gunny Fishcake]

Blimey

[muddyfeet]

I feel really gutted for him

He's done so much for the club

[Ouroboros]

Bet he's back in the premiership before we are.

This.

Fukk this, why now?

This.

This.

[Jano]

Absolutely pointless to do it now, unless they have some sort of miracle worker to take over.
