We still went further than the first round, which was better than most previous managers for quite a while. Maybe we should have a tongue in cheek smiley.

Apart from the League Cup.

I didn't like the football with Oscar. I was bored to tears most of the time. There were times when I really didn't want to go to matches.

Reading asked Tony Bloom for permission to talk, which was given. Things had broken down long before that.

He turned Reading & Wolves down. Tanno said so in a match preview on Player. It was rumoured he was talking to Fulham

1. Mick McCarthy hasn't left Ipswich 2. It's the Sun. What are you doing reading such rubbish? 3. Why would it bother you if they did manage Ipswich? 4. Even if we didn't go up, do you think they could manage to beat us? 5. Why am I bothering? Edit as I've just realised you're an Ipswich fan...
