Reading fullback Liam Rosenior has slammed his former manager at Fulham, Lawrie Sanchez.

He said: "It was my choice to leave Fulham to move to Reading.

"Sometimes you don't get on with the manager and everyone knows me and Lawrie didn't see eye-to-eye. He tried to make it into a playing issue like I wasn't good enough, but that was never the case. I found that hard. I was upset and surprised.

"For Lawrie to talk about the team conceding certain goals and putting my name to it was pretty disrespectful and I want to prove to people I'm a better defender than that.

"Steve Coppell is the right guy to take me on to the next level because he has great experience as a manager and a player.
