A go fund me has been set up to pay the staff. Now how does this work. Surely we can’t just give money to the club isn’t that against the rules? https://www.gofundme.com/f/37j3jlh920?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer I understand that this is helping...
I mean: Say a player signs a 5 year contract but in their second season something just goes wrong where they're no longer performing. Maybe they're out drinking too much, or getting involved with dodgy (but not illegal) stuff . . . or maybe their form just generally goes down the toilet. The manager...
I agree we don't know what's going on. But EFL clubs at least should have standard break clauses in contracts that say if you, for example, don't start a single first team/U23 game in a calendar year then you can be released from your contract with a standard payout.

Here's an idea - sell points to supporters. It works with other schemes such as Avios. Would be a good cash generator and the meltdown alone it would cause would be worth it. Tuck that idea away for April Fools Day then pop it up on Twitter saying that is what the club intend to do 1 point for ever...
You make top end Championship in 4 years sound like a long time. It's not; it would be a great outcome. Ultimately you can buy a club with current PL aspirations for £60m, or buy a shitshow for £25m and turn it into that yourself. But it's a risky game, as you may well be funding £5m+ losses per an...
The riches of the PL mean that pretty much any EFL club can be sold to investors as having the potential to increase in value 10 fold. And with all the Wrexham stuff there might be a few more people out there willing to believe that fairy tale. But, sadly, the time frame in which Reading could achi...
