Re: Will we exist as a club 1 year from now?

Of course. After the club folds in September the ground and training ground will be sold for housing to pay our debts too the HMRC. We will reform as AFC Reading in the 7th tier Thames Valley League playing Ascot and Windsor. We will ground share with Maidenhead until a new site can be found to bui...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.1

I'm confused. On the one hand, I'm hearing that the aim is to get an owner in who will run the club sustainably... On the other hand, people want new signings and to challenge for honours... Which is it? Given where the club is at and the finances in the EFL, wanting both seems like cakeism... It's...

Re: Readings most underrated and overrated players are....

Over-rated: probably controversial, but I never understood the Phil Parkinson thing - he did a lot of symbolic stuff, ran out towards the East stand and put in a thumping challenge in the first 5 mins to show hes the alpha male - but otherwise a very ordinary midfielder and not a patch on Mick Goodi...

Ever get the feeling the FL are going out of their way to screw the club over... https://therealefl.co.uk/2023/06/18/miserable-weekend-deals-double-blow-to-reading/ In addition other media reports suggest Karl Robinson has rejected the chance to take over.

Re: Mark Bowen

Sympathetic to Bowen, but if seemingly the entire operation of a multi-million pound company employing nearly 400 people rests on one individual then that's a massive problem. A pub shuts if the landlord suffers a bereavement, a corner shop or fish and chip shop maybe, but a professional football c...

Re: The squad in July

I don't know, but I did read somewhere that his 3 year Reading deal in the championship wasn't too shabby - but then that article had Hendrick on £50kpw as our highest paid player and presumably we only paid a fraction of that. Given our predicament, a nominal release clause + a drop due to relegati...
