Confimred new owners of Raeding Footbal Club

[Victor Meldrew]

Would it be that difficult for the club to come out in response to that article and say that it is just a load of old tosh?
Presumably being the big club that we are these days (or think we are) there is a press secretary or at least somebody as a media spokesperson to deal with matters like this?
If it is a non-story then tell us that it is a non-story.
JM ,the man that historically has courted publicity whenever the opportunity arises, has been remarkably quiet of late.

again- either its true in which case they cant

or they dont feel the need to respond to every made up nonsense in the press or socal media


either way theyre doing the right thing

[Geekins]

Theres 2 Sheiks after the club

Abdul Ratthel and Muhammad Wroll


They are looking at joining forces if so we would have Sheik Ratthel and Wroll

I can't see any reason why those Sheik names are not real but i can't believe you after Meltdowngate last summer.

This. It's not even an article, it's three lines of complete speculation. Why should they respond to it?

Doesn't Jonny Fordham now write for the Sun?

Hope this is a joke...

[Scutterbucketz]

Well if all this true, AZ isn't in a great selling position. If he can't convince Daddy to spend his millions to make a bit of a go of it then how will he convince anyone else?

For the postcount.

I'd like to see them issue a couple of press releases on the subject and then a third press release which simply reads:

Lulz. It would deffo get the fans back onside.

It'd be a real shame, really, if he doesn't buyout SJM's share. I get the impression that he genuinely wants to help the club.

Do you? Because I get that impression that he is as dodgy as a nine bob note.

I've heard that, depending how they handle their exit with regard funding and which business Premier League parachute payments are made to, there is a risk (albeit small) of the Club actually going into Administration.

I've heard that we'll be liquidated in January.

I'm normally liquidated over Christmas and then spend January on the wagon.

Yes. So long as one of the press releases reads, in its entirely, "RattLOLed".

I would have thought they'd end the rumours straight away if they were nonsense. Maybe there is something in this.

[genome]

Just a copy and paste from the Sun essentially. And just because RFC have refused to comment on the rumour doesn't mean that anyone has asked them about it directly.

Wow. Slime-bag Reading East Tory MP Rob Wilson is only the 4th-dodgiest bloke pictured here

I think there is something to it. I bumped into an ex-employee of RFC on Saturday who saw someone still very high up at the club at a charity function last week (they still get on well with each other) - he practically confirmed that AZ is off and a new buyer is being sought PDQ. Said some other interesting things as well.

When I saw the dreaded "administration" word mentioned above, it is a deep concern. Can the parachute payment cheques really just be made out to another enterprise? Don't they belong to the club?

Agreed, but with the red tops picking up on a potential lie first posted on football-rumours, and now SSN and local papers, you'd think the club would want to knock the story on the head rather than let their easily over-reacting fans get carried away and believe it all. Their silence on the matter only adds to the speculation.

Corrected.

There's supposed to be some "Arabs" (friend's description who works at the hotel) looking at buying the hotel off of SJM. Maybe they're interested in the club too.
