If I were out of contract but considering signing I’d leave it as late as possible up until pre-season to test my market. There’s not really any incentive for the likes of Pereira to sign early unless it looked like someone was going to get signed in your place. The club could say "This offer ...

Good read. One tip is, read it all the way through as it returns to Reading at the end.

morganb If we were to have a whip round to buy a jar where could we put the money we collect?

In a Heinz tin can(s)? As long as the Baked Beans were emptied and the can was washed first, of course.

Of course It will, unless the players train in it.

How big is this glass jar, presuming it must be a whopper to be able to hold this £90m? Does the £90m include the cost to purchase said glass jar or is that another debt in another glass jar? Do such glass jars need to be kept apart for tax purposes? But there is no debt. the glass jar is empty! So...

It's going to take me longer to understand this "There is a debt, but there isn't" situation, than it took to sell the club. So, is the debt invisible or just hidden in plain sight?

Don't worry guys, it's probably not long until the BBC axes Radio Berks. Then we can all look forward to weekly commentary from the Oxford matches on Thames Valley FM. I seem to remember they did this quite a few years ago. As you say, the commentary was the O**ord match, not even a score update fr...

Royals and Racers The City have just published a Reading FC registration of a charge document which was done on Monday 19th.

Are you trying to confuse me even more, if so it has worked.

good for us as wycombe will be nothing next season. would much prefer Charlton to go up, as i'd have them as favorites to win the league next season Why do you think Wycombe will be nothing next season - haven't they got a really rich owner now? As far as I gather the "really rich owner" ...

More papers have been sent to the EFL. More details to follow, sums it up.

Because we're not really waiting for any further signatures? The big difference between now and then is that the announcement actually confirmed the new owners - last time it was all hidden behind NDAs. If you know we aren't waiting for signatures, can you tell us what is holding everything up this...

With 90 mins to go until the extension deadline, and despite being told ‘there is nothing to be concerned about’, is anyone becoming concerned? Even just slightly? I've been concerned since the announcement on May 3rd.. We have been here before, with only a signature on a piece of paper being requi...

OOC players will want a pay rise, I assume, fees paid for o new ones? I think 10-15% increase will go only part way to fund this, but can't see a bigger increase, even though RC will want to be more profit making or at least losing less.

Snowflake Royal Brum's record is just never getting beaten is it.

Isn't that what a lot of us (and some players, of that era, I'm looking at you Glen for one) thought about 106?

But will have to pay for its maintenance cant remember which interview it was but he said the first thing he did when he bought Wycombe was to improve the fan experience by improving all things on match day and generally just making sure every thing was maintained and working well. So yeah i imagin...

When are we playing the pre-season game against Wycombe?

Going into added time. Reading winning 9---0, Leyton Orient winning 1---0
Reading in 6th. place on goals scored.
Final whistle either Reading finish 9-1 or Leyton finish 2--0 (or both).
Reading in 7th. But a fantastic effort by the team throughout the year.

They should go full hog, get a chopper to lower down the match ball again, then get the Amazons on the actual pitch with equipment to play Black Magic live. Then couhig can come out with a contract in his hand to announce he's bought the club Then Dai will come running out and says "Oh, no you...

I mean, maybe - but that would still involve outscoring Orient by 10 goals in 2 games or a 10 goal swing. I don't think those are too likely. My coupon for the weekend: Rovers 0 Reading 5 Orient 0 Wycombe 5 :wink: In reality as Mr A says win the game - if we happen to get 2 or 3 ahead then by all m...
