Re: The Magic Number Thread

Snowflake Royal I've heard only one of Burton and Cheltenham can catch us. Can anyone confirm?

Re: £397K on agents fee

Reading spent the second-highest amount on agent fees (league One) in the last 12 months only Derby spent more than £434k I am rather surprised by this given all of our spending restrictions anyone. Is this needs must, or do we deserve less sympathy than we thought? Are you? I’d have thought it was...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (h)

A lot of stick for Mukairu, some perhaps justified as not a lot came off for him but I do think we are a better side with him in the XI as opposed to playing Elliott or Ehib out there Natural width draws the defenders out and opens up space for the likes of Knibbs to operate between the lines where...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

*Snip* Smith was definitely offside when Wing shot. Officials got that spot on. Saw the replays straight after the goal and it was clear. Solid couple of yards. That figures. Couldn't judge it I was focused on tracking the ball and when you're on the back row of the upper tier behind the goal. :lol...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Deby fans have spent a lot of time (ironically) accusing Northampton of time-wasting, S***housing, and cheating (Shout out to Gayle and Hourihane!) However, there does seem to be some acceptance of this by Cobblers fans on their forum. Just hope we get a stronger ref than the useless git we had agai...

Re: Potential New Owners

ITK Eddie: I understand sports . com are not one of the two advanced prospective bidders for #ReadingFC. When asked to, they were unwilling to cover the club’s shortfalls while Dai is able to pull the plug on a deal. This is who we've missed out on: Sports . Com (S.C) is owned by lottery technology...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Loafer i have heard on the grapevine that a takeover is imminent from somebody who goes to the same hairdresser as ruben selles


Is it Finn Hair in Woodley? as I heard they both enjoy the occasional Saveloy and a spam fritter from the chippy next door.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I obviously don't agree with death threats or threats of violence, but football fans notoriously have a dark side. One day a situation like this may end very badly for a crooked owner. Pang and Dai will probably be fine as Reading fans aren't so bad, but Imagine how this would end if someone was do...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

For those saying protests don't work, I'm fairly certain if we got every game abandoned from now until the end of the season, bringing the entire competition into disrepute, things would start to move very quickly Yes, we would very quickly be ejected from the Football League. Sadly there are still...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Speaking to someone at the club today and there is real fear now. Even the most senior figures don't understand what Dai and Pang are doing and they can't rule out 'shenanigans'. I know that every course of action seems futile at the moment - but the only thing that has a chance of working is putti...

Re: Wycombe will be culpable.

Where exactly do they think Reading are going to training after it's sold? There's clearly no plan at present. Other than renting our facilities back off them all the alternatives are pretty dire for a professional team. Think you have answered your own question. They neither think nor care where R...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

This will be spun as giving the club a lifeline as it will give us the working capital required to keep on going for a few months more. That may (or may not) be true but it doesn't solve the long term financing issues we have and actively makes finding a new owner harder (which would solve the long...

Bit pointless to blame the reason we lost on the actual reason we lost? Is this guy for real? It all evens itself out over the course of a season.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

But why would he effectively give money to Dai, that he'll never see again. He's too old to get involved again. I guess, if he is contemplating buying the training ground - and I think his visit was nothing but conincidence - then I don't think it would be a purchase of the mind but of the heart. H...
