blythspartan Is Jamie Hodder reliable. He’s reporting that we have lost one of the investors and that exclusivity has been extended.

He *can* be but also Pete O'Rourke who reported on FI last week can also be very accurate.

Now that there is no football at all from a Reading perspective, the focus is purely on the effing takeover getting done. As someone has already said, we are now in the time that means every day without it could impact the recruitement - for example we were rumoured to be interested in Rafferty but...

Also, what the circumstances of the club have shown is that if we stabilise, what a fantastic club we are for a young player to be at. Competitive at PL2 level with a crystal clear path to the first team. Strong argument that any player just below the very top talents, could do a lot worse that comi...

:?: Pretty much no chance with any goals. Multiple crucial saves. One poor pass. :| Do you really think he looks ready for the first team? Think he could do with a loan to help him improve his decision making and distribution. Agree that none of the goals were his fault but he kicked numerous balls...

George Puscas currently on the bench for Bari in the 1st leg of the Serie B relegation play-out.

Loser of the tie drops to Serie C.

One other thing that is helping here with VAR and its use - there is a Sunday morning highlights show and most weeks, they have one of the refs who officiated a game the day before to explain the thought process of why a division was given and why VAR was used. The ref of the Cologne- Union game was...

The 2024/25 season will mark the 40th Anniversary of a side not called Celtic or Rangers winning the league.

Feels very shortsighted to me, just getting rid. They just need to vote or putting strict rules in place on how/when it can be used and even applying a time limit i.e. if you spot nothing obvous in 30 secs, the decision stays as it was given on the pitch. Removing it will just see PL clubs playing ...

Don't really care who wins the PL but it will be objectively hilarious after all the Spurs fans wanting to lose fall out. if the following scores (or similar) happen at the weekend: Man City 1 West Ham 1 Arsenal 2 Everton 0 and Arsenal win the title anyway - and Spurs fans getting shit from Arsenal ...

Let's see shall we but it would be good to have it all sorted well before the start of next season which is just over a couple of months away-that is why the "months" concerned me. Yes Stranded there has been a lot going on between us and the EFL but not for the right reasons so let's hop...

Football Insider says the Chiron deal is just about done expect EFL approval which is expected in the coming MONTHS-let's hope it is more weeks than months. If it is to be believed, we have been working with the EFL very closely to get a lot of the work done - so I will be surprised if those checks...

Interesting* last day ahead in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Naturally the key story will be can Leverkusen clear the last hurdle for an undefeated league season but plenty on intrigue elsewhere. 4 clubs in the mix for relegation and/or the relegation play-off. Cologne need to win at Heidenheim to sta...

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but who would host the final were we to progress? I believe we'll be away at the winners of the other semi (Tottenham or Chelsea). Correct. Interesting that Spurs are playing the game at their first team stadium - could suggest a day out there or at Stamf...

2 more charges on Bearwood from Redwood published on Companies House - appears they have loaned the club 2.83m over the exclusivity period. So either the deal completes soon or the club is even more financially handicapped than it was a few months back. Been lots of speculation on exactly how much ...

Hopefully it gets played when there is no PL games and there is a live feed on YouTube/Royals TV so more people can watch.

Yeah not the sort of player I’d want is to go for Was on the bench a lot last year - was it injury or not favoured? The latter - he nearly went to Bristol Rovers in Jan but the finances stopped it, so was used as an impact player really. He will score goals for someone, but just don't think he is t...

Probably makes us favourites to make the final.

Which is frankly crazy.
