“Ruben Selles is a real class act. As with all the top managers I have been in the company, he is a kind, respectful, interesting guy. The job him and his staff have done over a period of time, has been phenomenal. No excuses, no moaning, and he would have every reason to complain in the last few years.”
McDermott also offered a positive outlook for the future if the takeover situation could be resolved.
“I really hope Ruben, the staff and players get a break. The right owner comes into the building . The potential is enormous. The football people here are just what the club needs. There is a sense that the Reading Football Club supporters have a real love for the manager and players.
“Let’s hope the right people come in and take over the club. With the manager, staff , players , academy players coming through, there is so much that can be achieved.”
Tivonge Rushesha could have a genuine opportunity to shine for the Berkshire team in November due to a lack of squad depth.
Ruben Selles is a fantastic fit for Reading FC.
It’s good to hear this since Reading supporters still think highly of McDermott because of everything he achieved for the team, not only during his tenure as first team manager.
Everyone would concur with his evaluation of Selles as well, given that he has performed admirably for Reading under very trying conditions.

As McDermott suggests, it’s all about changing owners going forward, so supporters will be hoping for some positive news on that front in the days and weeks ahead. That would mark the beginning of a bright, new era.
