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...

Brace yourself for some bad news guys.......

Snowflake Royal Really liking the way Azeez is trying to pick specific players out rather than hitting and hoping.

Other than his shooting he’s been electric

Azeez's electric...

Lets be honest here - if we start winning games then fans will forget all about the fact that they wanted him out.

Fan's memories never last more than the last 5 games.

I'm surprised by how happy I am with this win. It actually feels like a turning point - hopefully with the takeover to come.

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. If it's for medical reasons then...

Once there's an independent regulator maybe they can introduce a standard contract template that stops this crap. If you're not demonstrating commitment to the team then you can be fired. Same as any other job.

Another 300 standing tickets made available. Looks like they will go on general sale to season ticket holders.

Makes sense that Ashely would wait until Black Friday to buy the club. . . . .

Doesn't look like they're selling as quickly as expected. Maybe trains and tv coverage is reducing demand.

For those of you that are getting impatient, here's a nice bit of fiction to keep you calm. Imagine a corner flag. . . . . . . "The club can confirm today that Mike Ashley has completed a takeover of Reading FC after receiving approval from the EFL. He will become club Chairman. Following the t...

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...

Everton with the shock 10 point deduction! They've somehow got worse lawyers/accountants than us.

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...

Unfortunately this will be a situation where the least financially sensible person is going to be the one offering the most money.
