I’ll pick players to take down United, vows Dolan

Caretaker boss Eamonn Dolan has denied Reading owner Anton Zingarevich will select the team for tomorrow’s trip to Premier League leaders Manchester United.

Dolan was handed the reins temporarily on Monday after Zingarevich sacked Brian McDermott with the club four points from safety.

After McDermott’s assistant Nigel Gibbs followed him out the exit door, Zingarevich turned to Dolan – the club’s academy director for the past eight years – to lead the team.
