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

European football next season. What an achievement given everything that's been happening at the club.

Re: Squad Bible

Obviously the big one is Azeez, but anyone else think his form is closer towards his early season at the moment? He's always trying the spectacular and is not creating chances, even though he continues to work hard and make runs off the ball. I'd be happy if he stayed, but I'd still want us to stren...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

When was the last time the season ended and we were already excited to come back next season? As that'll be how I feel tomorrow. 20/21 perhaps as we expected fans would be allowed back? But for on pitch reasons, I'd actually go back to 2012. Even in 2017, I knew walking away from Wembley we were lik...

Re: Ex Players

Despite what has allegedly been said by others before - i struggle to believe there is no sell on fee. That would be literally outrageous and a terrible piece of business. I would have to move on from Antonio in terms of worst ever transfer / contract scenario!! Why would you struggle to believe it...

Perhaps the release clause required a sell on %?

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

So, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, Redwood have lead money and Dai's shares in the club are the collateral - so if the deal falls through and Dai/the club default on repayments of that loan, Redwood can claim the shares as repayment? Therefore essentially getting the club for no...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The next month is going to be super boring isn’t it. Nothing to play for other than pride and momentum to take into next season in the remaining two games. Contract negotiations and releases likely mostly on hold for the takeover. Blackout on takeover info until its done or falls through. Speculati...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

UpThePrem So the charge is for 240M sharea at 50p. I'm no expert , so does that mean its costing £120M?

That's their nominal value, which reflects what Dai originally put into the club when they were issued. It doesn't reflect their market value, which is substantially less than 50p per share.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Nothing is done until it's done. But if Dai wants to change his mind, he has to repay all money lent over April and May otherwise the club and Bearwood can be seized at which will be a cut price.

https://twitter.com/AndrewWearing/status/1783779565636067666 Another charge reported on Twitter. This time Redwood have lent money to Dai's holding company and his shares in Reading FC are the collateral. Suggests things are close. If they're loaning money to his HoldCo, it suggests it's not funding...

Re: Ex Players

If we do have an Olise sell on clause, could it complicate the takeover? If Dai's representatives tell him there's a potential windfall coming this summer, he may want to amend the terms of any sale to ensure he gets his share.

Re: Ex Players

Don’t think Palace get enough credit really. They’ve picked up 3 superb champ players for not a huge amount. As said in the article, they are a completely different side when Olise and Eze play, and Wharton looks excellent A pretty good last 3 games for them. Great to see the praise in the media fo...

Re: Ex Players

Pretty sure Bowen is on record saying we don't have an Olise sell on clause. Don't you get solidarity payments by default though, at 1% or so? If he goes for £80m, would still be a handy amount at this level. But just imagine if we had agreed 20% or so. P.s., Wharton looks like a player. Alongside M...

Re: Rival Watch

The 3 sides already relegated have a big opportunity to troll their opposition and impact the final table then. Carlisle can deny Derby, while Fleetwood and Port Vale can respectively drag down Burton and Cambridge with them.

Re: Rival Watch

At the top, it would be the most hilarious bottle job if Derby lose to Carlisle on Saturday, but even then Bolton would need a 4 goal swing to catch them. Chances probably at about 1%.

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

Top corner is unsavable but also maximum risk of row Z. That being said, I am surprised that professional footballers can't reliably find it. We're talking about the top 0.5% in terms of talent who are paid to practice. Surely any pro should be capable of leathering it into the top corner from 12 ya...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Does this mean we've reached the stage where all representatives are basically agreed and we just need to get Dai involved to sign it off....?

What could possibly go wrong?
