"Our academy is a nice to have for a team that wants to be Championship and financially sustainable." And herein is the issue IMHO. The Championship is not a financially sustainable league - the figures have been posted on here innumerable times. Clubs run at a loss in order to survive or ...

Championship clubs are more expensive, whereas we should be in bargain territory. Why would we be a bargain? Because a club in desperate need of financial support will be in a weaker position than a club that is financially stable.[/quote] Our price is what Dai wants to recoup. He's dropped £70m++ ...

Amen....

none of them virgins are going to go to the training ground. they haven't got the minerals just strikes me as massively counter-productive strategy..... I still have trouble processing the protest because the owner spent too much.... I'm old enough to remember the abuse Boards and Chairmen got in t...

The email gets me annoyed. We have always valued the loyalty of our fans. Now more than ever before. And we will continue to recognise those who are steadfast in their loyalty to Reading Football Club. No you won't, you've just wiped 20 years of loyalty, Fans who have supported the club inconsisten...

Any Leader worth their salt would be using this situation (outside of the playing staff's control) to build up a siege mentality - 'let's prove that we can play and win football matches' If this isn't the mindset and the approach, then I'd be concerned Gives unheralded younger players a chance to sh...

Think this is the fairest way tbf. My biggest gripe is the club waiting until a few days before the first away game where points are needed to go on sale. Why not make the statement at the start of July (for example)? I'm gonna go with whatever staff are left firefighting on multiple fronts and hav...

As has been mentioned elsewhere...

Football clubs not paying tax is more common than it seems....

This looks a bit more positive. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12096419/American-investment-fund-777-Partners-close-buying-Everton-they.html except its in the Daily Mail.... Not sure what the relevance of that is tbh. The Daily Mail is generally wrong about most important things...

Following your team means the ups and the downs.

You don't get to choose - if you do, then it's a different kind of Fandom and you might as well choose a different hobby...

Oh, I'd love it to be attainable, I just can't see how being competitive and sustainable are compatible given where we are, in real life. I've renewed my ST and will (try to) enjoy the football, but the rest of it is impossible to process. Like Mbappe being offered €700M to play in KSA.... Makes no ...

The concern is that Dai is running out of road, Having spent my entire working lifetime in Corporate finance. This has all the hallmarks and indications of a meltdown. That's a commercial dispassionate viewpoint. No point in glossing over how dire matters are. On a personal level I'm praying for a ...

Same a previous, just quickly messaged my acquaintance at the club, asked if I needed to be worried, and he said no. Again take from that what you want.
