Not sure how I would feel about McDermot?
He did have success at Reading first time around, played good football too, and don't forget he also played for us when we were very very good, so may have a little bit of affinity and/or knowledge of us. Plus there is the link between him and Tiger.
But, he does come across as a bit of an oddball sort of character and is not going to put bums on seats with his charisma, or lack of personality. Also he hasn't had a great deal of success recently.
Probably a safe pair of hands, as would be Steve McLaren, who would get us in amongst the promotion contenders, but may divide the fan base initially, before hopefully proving themselves a success.
