From the BBC website:

McGhee departs as their least successful manager since they were formed in 1903, with a win percentage of 27%.

Shame, Dons legend but something just isn't right up there. Maybe Willie Miller should have a go

Scottish football is skint, players earn more at level 3 in England than many in the Prem in Scotland. McGhee bemoaned that he could never compete for players.

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.

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.

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.

I think because he started believing his own publicity and stopped listening to others and taking their advice.

Started going downhill when he and Colin Lee had that falling out. They were an excellent double act. Our version of Clough and Taylor.

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.

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.

He'll probably write a book about it one day.
