Won't somebody please think of the footballers! If you put it into context If one of us earns more than a nurse we are likely to live a more expensive lifestyle than a nurse - have a bigger mortgage, have more kids, have a more expensive car on lease, that sort of thing. Maybe if you expect to earn...

rabidbee They won't be crimes, will they? Breaches of licensing regulations and/or breaches of competition rules.

Yeah.

True but what happens if you breach those repeatedly, doesn’t it eventually become a crime?

It’s just common sense - it’s amazing how delegation to an untried, expensive, new layer of bureaucracy is actually seen as a solution to anything Is just desperation borne out of helplessness whilst hoping someone else can solve our problem for us…. Of course; that always works…. Couldn’t you make...

And you are probably a Socialist who can propagate two or more totally contradictory principles simultaneously and cannot make a reasoned case for anything - and instead, simply makes silly (or worse) insulting personal comments. The most regulated markets are often the most corrupted, the most ine...

Leaving aside that the bill will fall after Rishi's shock calling of a GE next week, how likely do you think this would get through Parliament anyway? Yeh the biggest risk to this Bill is time. There are about 14 sitting weeks left till the November election. But given the opposition support the Bi...

That's the GWL we all know and love. Turn up, make some patronising remarks designed to impress us with his wisdom whilst stating the mostly obvious with a few random grenades designed to keep us "interested". Would you say it’s gotten too personal between you and GWL, Leon? It seems ever...

I mean, he could have done exactly the same thing any number of ways. The Reading fanbase will eventually have to come to terms with the fact that Dai Yongge spaffed £200m on Reading Football Club, and all we have to show for it is relegation to League 1 and a very nice training ground. Its the mos...

A very fair point! I'll have to check the numbers! Back in the day this used to run at a loss and I'd have to put my own money in to pay for what was (back then) obscene bandwidth. That was when I had to put in restrictions on images and avatar sizes to restrict what I was paying out. Thankfully ba...

SouthDownsRoyal Why is there no poll?

Good point might try and add one later

Given the turmoil surrounding the club, there have been few winners and much suffering. But one individual has gained from all this. Hobnob. The increased traffic through the board as a result of Reading fan distress has no doubt swelled the coffers at Hobnob Towers. I feel quite some unease at Hobn...

Greatwesternline I'm extremely frustrated that a poster I'd never seen before The Green Programme started talking about financial regulation and I wasnt there to discuss it.

God dammit.

It’s a tough board sometimes.

Hard to keep track of the multiple stickied threads all on the same subject.

Imo it won’t happen. I think the most likely scenario is that the rumours were just a complete load of b/llocks made up by someone connected to Wycombe to take the heat off Wycombe and their vulture like destruction of RFC. Will be happy to be proved wrong but I just find the above a more likely sce...

Phew!

Don't worry, you two are both in it too.

And me.

Unnecessarily harsh on us both and yourself.

Phew!

If new ownership does occur, can we please not only remove Dai Yongge but also discard the notion that new developments don't warrant new threads? Currently, discussions on the potential ownership change are scattered across three threads, perhaps even more, because people are hesitant to create a ...

If its these sports.com people then maybe a documentary is on the way Not sure that Reading quite has the same emotional and cultural pull emotionally internationally as Wrexham does. ’This club is all about community and heritage. The fan base, consisting in large part of IT consultants from the B...

corrected for you

thanks

The pathetic nature and whining of our fans never ceasars to amaze me

Sad to see you so dismissive of other fans’ mental health.

Exactly Ok yeah, if you guys are happy with just ‘the most points ever achieved in the football league’. Some of us have higher expectations of the club and its record, Ie ‘most points ever achieved in any professional league in England and Wales.’ I’d be happy just to have a football club m10 Yeah...
