Brought to the club by the owners man (not Hammond or Clarke). I hate that this went on with AZ and still goes on now! (confirmed by Charles Watts) Where? On his twatter in the last few days. Who's the chappie that helped the sale of the club, he gets involved with the odd transfer. He brought Sa h...

That pretty much covers it. The Reading Way is back with a bang. The bigger wage earners are being moved out for cheaper alternatives. BM fits the mould for the manager to do a job on the cheap. Meanwhile the Thai's build their houses, flats, ice rinks, then take away our car park, and sell up and f...

So do I. He's a decent right-back at this level, probably our fittest player. £500k is nothing. What replacement are we going to get with that?! May as well see out his contract if we're not extending it.

1-2

Probably our best centreback when fully fit. Just a shame he's carrying various knocks.

Would be a useful signing for any club that can cross a ball.

Negative: We've got mega rich owners that have come in as our supposed saviours at the eleventh hour, yet it appears the debts are still there and only been moved? Perhaps someone who keeps a track of the accounts can shed more light on this? We've returned to SJM’s Reading Way. SJM still has too mu...

The irony though is that you're the one on here constantly saying how you've fallen out of love with football because it's just about the money yet you whine about the reluctance of the chairman to spend more money back then. I hate the game now, but no I don't constantly go on about it - it's come...

Most disappointing season was the season after finishing 8th in the Premier League, and SJM's penny pinching getting us relegated the next season! That was our chance to establish ourselves at the top table, and he threw it away! Would you care to enlighten as to why you think one man was responsib...

NO THANK YOU!!!!

Bang average player who was on incredible wages for his ability. Good guy, runs a lot, works hard, but Tish is better!

Move on!

I'd rather sign Patrick Moore!

And where would we be if you take away his 10 goals? A "team player" in the same position would have scored more goals and provided more assists, and they would continue to do so on a frequent and regular basis. Blackman has always been shite. He just had a lucky streak which is over now....

paultheroyal Will be an awesome stadium when finished.

And thankfully it'll still feel like Anfield and not another boring bowl. The Anfield Road stand is next, adding another 4800 to it.

I didn't think of Pearce as a 'problem' when he was here. He got positionally very astute in his later years here, which more than made up for his lack of pace. A poor man's Tony Adams. He might have got better at reading the game, but he continued to get turned far too easily on an almost weekly b...

Sutekh We need defensive cover, do you reckon Pearce might be worth a punt ?

Why would we go there? OK, he's all heart and will stick his noggin' where others wont, but he's too slow and has the turning circle of a JCB. We still have a problem against pace. Pearce will only make that worse.

I'm an old fart who still loves 4-4-2 with a big man, little man combo up front and pace on the wings.

Blackman 'had' a purple patch where he was full of confidence and everything seemed to come off, but, overall his time here has been massively disappointing! So yes, if someone offered £1m or more with less than 6 months of his contract remaining, I'd bite their hand off!

He was a decent keeper. It used to frustrate me when Keegan would pick him ahead of Shaka!

RIP.
