Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Basically what anyone should already know, but: Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has said that Reading FC owners Rob Couhig and Todd Trosclair pumping £1 million a month into the club is a 'dangerous' strategy. Maguire, a Football Finance lecturer at Liverpool University and co-host of the Pr...

Re: What do people expect from a football team and manager

Finally someone who gets it ! Unfortunately, LR will be judged by RC on points accumulated this season and not entertainment rating.... i think tickets sold will also have a bearing. Serious Question: do League One managers have explicit KPIs linked to Tickets Sold? I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if...

Re: What do people expect from a football team and manager

I believe short attention spans and the desire for instant gratification are to blame for how we feel when we don't have results + performance + effort + team connection... Some ppl are saying they would swap results for a young team with 'connection'... I don't buy that - ppl forget how quickly bad...

Re: Club to be sold again ?

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (a)

If the Internet is to be believed, Richie is our...
