    Morning mate. Possibly. It would certainly be interesting!

    Been meaning to ask, WTF are all those red dots under my name?

    If you mean that red bar it's negative reputation. You've obviously upset a few people!

    Don't know. There must be a way of checking though. If you go to your profile and click on experience it might tell you.

    Just noticed his red dots...if you click on them it says he's infamous in these parts. Surely it can't be Saints fans:grin:

    I agree almost entirely with Trixter, although I wouldn't use the same degree as certainty as him, I wouldn't say for sure that Di Canio would keep Reading up but he's their best shot and there is no point in giving up on survival. Reading are in a hole, mathematically the same hole as QPR but they have the added problem of being the worst team in the league by a distance and having nowhere near as much quality as QPR. All QPR need to do is just figure out how to basically function as a team and win games of football that are entirely within their ability to win. Reading need to put together some herculean efforts to make up for their dearth of quality. They need some serious miracle-working to survive, there are a few good long-term options, none more so than Adkins. However is Adkins going to spark a sudden surge to lead them to safety? No. He is much more likely to achieve goals through steady long-term growth, motivation and building of a team ethic. Di Canio is a ridiculous, bat-**** crazy appointment for a club looking to accomplish long-term ambitions, however, for someone who needs to come in, rock the boat, whip the players into a frenzy and attempt to lead them on an assault to safety? No-one else fits the bill. It's still a huge long-shot but survival is paramount for Reading's future, unless you're signing Di Canio to a 8 year £40m deal the risks are minimal. If they go down, then start looking at the club's long-term future, giving up now by keeping McDermott or appointing a manager designed to get them up from the Championship again is pointless. As long as you're not being completely reckless then you may as well try everything you can to stay up. It's almost as unlikely for Reading to immediately bounce back and get promoted in the next couple of seasons as it is for them to stay up this year, so giving up hope on the latter to rely on the former just seems daft to me.

    According to the BBC Di Canio is not interested.
