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. 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 indic...

I think the term 'investor' is being bandied out erroneously. You invest to get a financial return. We aren't looking for investors, we're looking for people with money to burn. It ain't gonna grow if the new model is to live within our means. 'Funder', 'donator', 'bankroller', 'sugar daddy' - all ...

I thought the 'view from the stands' was that 1 season loanees wasn't the way forward.... Or is that just in hindsight when they turn out to be shit ....

And do we have 100% proof that Reading had loan agreements where the loan players had to play if fit or is it just random dribblings trying to make sense of why Paul Ince kept picking certain players? Can I remind you all that the manager at the time the teams were selected was Paul Ince, someone w...

YK had an almost Roberts esque impact that year.

But for a penalty shootout loss he'd be a club legend...

I'd join a campaign to get new BBCRB coverage... a modicum of self awareness would be nice...

Has to switch BBCRB off - Dellor is just so past his sell by date, he actively makes listening painful...

Juat turned on BBCRB & Dellor already makes me want to scratch my ears off....
Same inane clichéd ramblings...
Probably found his level...

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...

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...

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. That site states that we've been handed a ...

Wow..... This is all a bit like Brexit.... We are hundreds of millions of pounds in debt and the owner need to find a few million a month just to keep the club afloat. Relegation means a 66% drop in income. What did people think was going to happen???????? Common sense left the building a good few ...

Some questions: So 'play when fit' can be a loan requirement to ensure parent club pays their share? Explains Hendrick situation... Also, does that mean that PINCE/whoever picked the team knowingly put the club in future jeopardy based on 1st team selection or are they just arguing over the validity...

I'm not melting down - I agree that the instant reactions of people with limited knowledge of things is draining - I just found this bit intriguing "As a club, financially we continue to face a number of significant challenges and our owner, Mr Dai, is working very hard to resolve those issues ...

So based on albeit limited experience of corporate speak, I take it as implicit conformation that there are ongoing talks to sell the club....

Or am I over reaching?
