We don't, I think, even have 100,000 supporters willing to shell out £2 for a membership card yet.

Because we would cease to be Reading FC. We would be a faceless "brand" with no connection with our history, our locale or our traditional fans - not a football team.

wich clubs in the EPL are traditional you have to be money to survive.

It looks as if this one (Mad Aussie Royal) was shipped off to serve his prison sentence before he finished school. There is some poor English on this board, but he takes the prize for 'least intelligible posts'.

The Queen -

The Queen could blow out the candles on her 75th birthday cake last weekend, content in the knowledge that her fortune has risen by £25million this year to £300 million—pushing her up one place on the list to 105th. Even Her Majesty was not immune from dot.com mania, with investments in two small Internet ventures, both of which have proved disastrous. But the bulk of her investment income still derives from the relative safety of blue-chip companies.

You do realise that according to fairly recent figures thats less money than our current chairman has? And shit loads of her cash is going to be locked up and untouchable in various things. If Mr Mad can't afford to keep us at £350 odd Million how the hell is the Queen going to inject enough?

Other than that and the fact as already pointed out it's nowhere near even a US billion its an intersting thread with mostly crap content. So this post will fit right in.
