Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Pepe the Horseman
Elm Park Kid I was just told by a good source that we were in discussion for the sale of three of our defenders yesterday and that two of them have now been agreed.

Guessing Holmes and Abbey. We're fooked aren't we?

Re: “ Sell before we Dai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group v2.3b sponsored by Sports Direct Tennis Ba

You guys are ignoring the possibility that Dai literally doesn't even think about the club and our protests don't get anywhere near his 'bubble'. Like, the only time Reading fc comes into his day is/if when Pang asked for money. That it's the latter making all the decisions, including the sale.

Didn't Blackpool fans force out the owner through protest and not turning up?

Mola, Dean and NGW? Guessing not


No one is giving us money for Mola and NGW.

The timing is not a coincidence. They will have used the same sources as SBWD. Proof will be in the pudding I guess - let's see is the squad is still together at the end of January. That said, somebody has to actually want to sign our players for semi-decent amounts. If clubs feel interest isn't hu...

It wouldn't surprise me if some key players have been sold today so that Dai can meet that wage deposit requirement . . .

Re: I've lost count - Embargos, HMRC Payent defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Andrew Sparkes and Eddie Niedzwiecki have been let go. 3 things: 1. They are important staff members so the club must really be desperate. 2. Indicates that no takeover is close. 3. May well effect performances on the pitch. Who is assisting Selles now? How long until the lights are turned off? You...

Re: Selles In

Although the former is not sustainable and so he won't last long under new ownership anyway in that case. What's not sustainable? Playing good football and getting results? Playing badly and getting results. Don't forget the Stam season. Isn't it generally agreed that that was some of the worst foo...

Re: Selles In

Whilst I find the discussions on here interesting, the only thing that a manager is judged on is results. Whether Selles stays or goes won't come down to formation or tactics or man management or anything like that - it will come down to whether the new owners think our league position is good or ba...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I did hear from a good source that Bowen has been pretty petulant with the local press this season. Not quite the level-headed grown-up that we were hoping for.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

To be fair - It's pretty standard that an owner in this position would ask for future payments based on any 'windfalls' the club gets over the next few years. Whether that be promotions, player sales or anything else. Though, that would be based on the assumption that initial sale price was relative...

Re: I've lost count - Embargos, HMRC Payent defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

The EFL can't force anyone to sell a business. But they could, in theory, throw the club out of the football league if he remained as owner. I say 'in theory', because in reality it doesn't appear as though the EFL has that authority to do so based on its established rules and precedent. And it's fr...

Re: Confirmed - Ejaria gone

Supposedly £12,500.00 p.w. saved so good for that reason, perhaps that will make the inability to pay others on time less likely in the coming months. Wonder how much it cost to pay him off though. Given our financial situation, i'd be surprised really if we paid him anything upfront. I wouldn't be...

Obviously no one knows the full story. I hope he manages to sort himself out (or whatever was going wrong) and finds success elsewhere. I remember reading this book by an ex-scout who said that when looking at young players you had to really investigate their background and personality. Because ther...
