Re: New embargo incoming

Lower West
tmesis At Reading there's no sense of what exactly they are trying to achieve by running things in such an unpopular way.

Re: Mark Bowen

The club is a total shambles at the moment, but I can get why it may be appealing to Bowen. Dai has oxf*rd up big time, and there's a chance he may realise that. The appointment of Bowen, and some of the other backroom staff, suggests that the new approach would be for the Dai and Pang to step back...

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

Right now I'll just be satisfied with someone who comes in with great energy and who talks a good game. Someone who's ambitious and understands the game at this level. If he's expecienced in the Championshio or League 2 I don't care. We can't expect decent proven Manager's to want to come here in th...

O'Neil earnt his stripes last season. No way he'd drop to a desperate mess like us. He would walk into a decent Championship job.

Re: Mark Bowen

traff Nicky Hammond just joined Leeds on an interim basis. Maybe just feeling nostalgic but would have been happy to have him back on a consultancy basis this summer.


In a heart beat, but he'd also be a victim of the interfering and over-ruling Dai.

Rumours now that Bowen could be off to Norwich. LOL

Re: Speculation - Mark Bowen to Norwich

Meh. We're not rebuilding fcuk all so what does it matter until we have an owner that knows what they're doing.

Re: RFC accounts for 2021/2 published

He reckons we are still losing £2m a month, WTF did he get that figure from? £40k a week, sounds about right. Moore etc aren't off the books until the end of the month. I presume you mean £400k a week? It has been at this level for a number of years now. You'd think with all the restrictions we'd h...

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

How could the EFL do that? The embargo ends June 30th. There is no FFP limitations in L1. If they feel we breached something last season that is yet to come to light, they will have had to punish us against last season, surely.

Re: Mark Bowen

There presumably is a point where an owner could be barred from being an owner and ordered to leave or the club is kicked out the league. And there is possibly a legal process to force compulsory sale or transfer of ownership. But that bar is likely extremely high and may need Gov intervention. Mos...

Credit must go to EddieRFC or whatever his name is on Twitter. He said weeks ago about Dai wanting to sell and a group in the US wanting to buy.

Re: Potential New Owners

Royal_jimmy Ian who wanted relegation was warned this might happen (it may have done anyway) but I think less likely so.


He said it would be more exciting being mid-table in L1 :lol:

Re: The squad in July

Stranded From the veiled wording here - seems that the club hadn't yet announced Sarr leaving because Sarr hadn't told the club he was going to leave


Yet the Club and fans knew he'd left as he posted a photo of himself with his new shirt over 36 hours ago. No excuse for not acknowledging this sooner.
