I too wasbuoyed by what AP said and referred to it in the match reaction thread before this one was started.
However, in the interest of balance, it should be stated that two Reading fans I spoke to when AP was appointed as our new manager said that he talks a very good game and can keep everyone on side, even when things are going pear shaped on the pitch around him.
I think the implication was that they got a bit tired of him saying the right things but failing to actually do anything about it on the pitch.
