I do have a soft spot for Cioffi, he was very passionate about the club and put his all into it. Shame it didn’t work out but now he’s managing Udinese!

Enthusiastic and Positive?

He wasn't very positive in the FA Cup at home to Fleetwood, was he?

Trailing 2-1 and needing a goal, he replaced Josh Doherty at left back and replaced him with errm ............... a left back.

Needless to say, that was his last game in charge of The Reds.

I mean, he needn't have said those decent things about Crawley. Wish him the best of luck, reading that.

The management game is a bit strange and managers can get sacked consistently and up progressing in their careers. He seemed like a good character and a liked his enthusiasm so I hope he makes the most of this fortunate break.

In Serie A that would be considered more than just positive...

...almost reckless...!

Earlier in his career Brendan Rodgers got sacked by Reading after only 6 months in the role, two and a half years afterwards he then became Liverpool manager. Not saying Cioffi is going to be Real Madrid or Man United manager anytime soon but you never know sometimes in football.

So true, wouldn't it be great if he can here with a top team in a pre season friendly

I'd like to see us play against a Premier League team in a friendly to be fair, think it would give a bit of a better indication to whereabouts our level is that than games against Horley or Three Bridges. Did hear one or two things about us maybe playing Southampton this summer but not sure
