There is also some speculation that the whole business of talking to McDermott& Gus is Wolves trying to talk down Bruce's contract demands by demonstrating to him that there are other candidates.
Football's a murky, duplicitous game.....
All the smart money is that McDermott went and talked to Wolves precisely so he could then go and negotiate a new and improved contract with Reading on the strength of it.
Is GP switched on/cynical (* delete as appropriate) enough to be doing the same?
