Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

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

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Online Companies House filings normally take about 24 hours and I think by post it’s around a week. I’ll be keeping an eye on the “People” for Reading football club. I think someone was trying to wind up fans with some false information yesterday.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

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...

Re: Rival Watch

It looks like Rotherham really mean business and I think Rafferty from Pompey will be a good signing for them. It really highlights how desperately we need the takeover to be completed. Otherwise, we’ll lose out on our targets and the agents of our best players will be looking to get them out of the...

Get that Ellis Taylor signed up. Can we play Ryan at LB? I love Carson’s ball delivery but he can’t defend for toffee.

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Snowflake Royal Where was our left flank when they attacked then, two spare.

Scrambling it away, living life dangerously.


Great run from Clarke then though.


We’re getting ripped apart down our left flank. Similar to the first team.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Yeah, if this drags on recruitment will be affected. Plus, after the false promises of last season I can see our best players wanting to bail. I don’t think there’ll be any announcement until mid July now, but at least the new season doesn’t start until 10/11 August. On what basis do you make the j...

Apparently, if anyone can’t get to the game tonight it’s being streamed live on Sunderland’s YouTube channel.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If it drags, must surely impact recruitment for next season. With the ownership sorted, we're definitely an attractive option at this level, but any agent or player who agrees to sign while Dai is still owner is a moron. Yeah, if this drags on recruitment will be affected. Plus, after the false pro...

Re: Rival Watch

Not that it’s the right place to put this but I find watching Premiership football so dull these days. I am watching Man City play West Ham, but I much preferred watching Crewe play Crawley earlier. I am probably alone here but City’s success has just made it all so oxf*rd boring.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Howe originally said he hoped the deal would be completed by the end of May. There’s no doubt that things are progressing, but the football insider suggested that it would be another 2 months until the EFL approve the deal. If that’s the case we won’t be in a position to sign players etc. until the ...

Re: Rival Watch

Its good there's another decent side in the league which will hopefully stop Hollywood FC going up. And stop Reading FC too. Really doesn't help us having Bolton in L1 next year. Until the new ownership is confirmed, I don’t think we have to worry about Bolton still being in L1. I’d be happy with a...

Bolton remind me of us under Stam. Oxford are deservedly ahead tbf and I see no way back for Bolton, but hope I am wrong.

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I can’t say I am happy about the club getting more bad publicity and a £200k fine. However, if we get another £5m if/when Palace sell Olise, happy days.

Re: New Owners Prediction League

I have given up speculating now. I appreciate it’s just all normal marketing, but I still worry when every message from admin is about fans paying money for something. I still have a horrible feeling that this will just drag on and on until that Huang bloke says the takeover has collapsed. Oddly, he...

Re: The Retained List

It's just nice that, for the first time in years, we're retaining a decent core of the squad and talking about targeted signings before the season is over rather than being left with a 7 a side team and scrabbling around in the bargain bucket in July after every one else has had their fill. +1 In r...
