This would be an absolute dire appointment. He lasts approx. 1.2 years at each club, and we really don’t need a negative styled tactician coming in. Just hope this is nonsense. Give me Bruce or Joka.

Loader hasn’t been happy for a while now. If he doesn’t get a chance soon then we may well lose him on the cheap; and if so it makes a mockery of our academy when we have such a talent and we don’t utilise him but instead continue with a misfiring League 2 striker (who may or may not be able to step...

5-1 away win at the weekend and 4-0 home win last night. 250+ attendance. Decent.

Brum Royal Any idea on what the squiggly thing is next to the name?

Charity related I think.

Coppells Lost Coat I am going to assume this interest is on the £60m loan that was lent to us by the Chinese??

However the whole tweet is a little more interesting and shows we are doing good business elsewhere.

This is dated season 16/17 fwiw.

Good to know this club is in safe hands isn't it... and where are the local press to report on this?

Out of interest - are they standing throughout the game? This is going to be a problem at some point, especially if the stewards are stricter in the East Stand or away end when it comes to standing. Club 1871 should be careful they aren't seen to be getting special treatment. The South, like Y26, s...

Nothing at all suss to be honest with you. Have you looked into the new ownership? It's nothing ground breaking, but will hopefully take the club forward and ultimately be good for the Town (City...)

When the FA find out where the club are getting their money from they won't be around. Enjoy it while it lasts.......

So where's it from then?

Not for me to say. Heard it from a reliable Hellenic League source though.

Martin (Chairman) is a long-time family friend. Do go on?

Old Man Andrews Interesting you don't want our top academy prospect just because of a non-existent rivalry with Oxford.

Odd behaviour.

I hope he scores 20 but Oxford concede 90.

They're not a rival (yet), but Reading City did well in their first game at the weekend, winning 5-1 I think it was, away.

They play at home tonight down Scours Lane. Under 16's free entry. It'd be good to see some Reading fans lend them some support instead of the other local clubs like Maidenhead.

Good lad. Just 45 league games to go.

Forget Maddison. Their owner confirmed we were interested but baulked at the players wage demands. We're out and haven't been back in since.

I was in hospitality for Derby and I have to say I was very impressed with the South Stand. I think I saw they'd sold just over 300 tickets before the game. It looked 400 or so in there for the game. Good noise throughout the game and at times worked with Y25/Y26. This can only be a good thing for t...

CountryRoyal I’d say £1m is still quite a lot for a 25 year old striker who has only really scored well at league two level.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for us to pay it, but I think £700k would be about the upper end of his value considering his remaining contract length as well.

£1m is loose change today.

Denver Royal Player becomes available, on a free, might be an upgrade for us?

There's no question it would be an upgrade for us. Unless Mannone does go back to Italy as was rumoured a month ago, then I can't see us making a change in that department.

Apologies if touched on already, but Mr Gourlay recently saw off the marketing chap who was helping with the South Stand home fans thing, and he's since brought in his own man. Worse still, Gourlay's idea of improving the atmosphere is........... A MARCHING BAND! As I understand it this was dismisse...

My lad tells me we are being linked with Ashley Williams on a one year loan deal. No idea if this has any validity but he is past his best and given we already have O’Shea I wouldn’t be too keen. It would mean the Elphick deal is off and surely means Moore would be sold. Zip junior has added this m...

gazzer, loyal royal hearing small whispers that JVDB will be heading back to Holland in the next few weeks

Hound see HITC have picked up the Swift thing. Thought for a minute there may be something in it, until I saw them referencing the chronicle as their source

The Chronicle ran with the rumour from a spoof Twitter account as well. You really can make this crap up!
