Let's oxf*rd hope not.


Belt up Orion!

Someone said on Twitter that you’re a sad twat! Should that be filed under rumours?


I'm just having a laugh now. Seems to have wound you up as well, but we'll need someone twitter to confirm.

Yeah, even in Taranaki but I will attempt to ignore all things Reading.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'll take that bet. No takeover = no finish 24/25 season. At least I lost my shit yesterday. I am just glad to be off to New Zealand tomorrow so I can forget about this for the next 8 weeks. Jamie Hodder looks to be fairly reliable. The article is mostly speculation Hopefully, it all gets sorted ou...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

How stupid does Dai have to be, to be frustrated that with each new discovery of damage he's done, the prospective buyers are reducing their offer. Interesting that we seem to be getting a deadline of a week or new talks with someone else. Suggests we should have concrete news within the next 10 da...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

It doesn’t look like the takeover will be happening anytime soon. I really fear for the club tbh. Off to New Zealand for 8 weeks to visit family shortly so I can avoid all this drama. I was going to renew my season ticket but not until the ownership is resolved.

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.

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 ...
