Brogue 777 deal with Everton is officially off

What happens now? Everton can't be in the greatest financial shape and another buyer isn't going to complete a sale quickly.

Administration presumably.

BBC doing an exclusive today on the Champions League Final: "Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is set to join an exclusive list of British players to have played in a Champions League Final for an oversees club despite being relatively unknown in his homeland. The 19-year-old was born in Reading and spent t...

There's no excuse if he's guilty, and it seems likely he I; the FA don't tend to just float charges based upon flimsy evidence in cases like this. In any job, if any condition (health, mental health, whatever) means you cannot abide by strict and transparent rules, you should get support. But it wo...

Happy to get this thread back onto takeover talk! BBC Berks spoke to Mark McGhee last night (interview will probably be replayed on their Saturday sport show today and is available via the BBC sounds app) and he revealed he'd been asked by some German contacts of his about purchasing the club back i...

Section 75 is one of the nice consumer friendly protections which, if loans were invented today, would never in a million years be passed into law Possibly, possibly not. The government has legislated to reimburse all victims of payment fraud, no matter how many warnings they ignore from their bank...

THIS CLUB IS A COMPLETE ******* SHAMBLES FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

The Dai effect is rubbing off on everyone.

What's next?

I was disappointed Swift only went to WBA, thought he could have done better, but maybe it was his level. Similarly with Olise - it looks like he's destined for the top, but maybe a sideways move to the second team in Manchester is, in fact his level. Neil Webb to Pompey was a sickener…. Yes ,espec...

Rather have Clive

Please let him be assisted by a Herr von Smallhausen

Will UEFA allow Man U and OGC Nice to compete in the Europa League given they're both part owned by Jim Ratcliffe (INEOS) and UEFA have a rule banning clubs playing each other when they're owned by the same entities?

Norwich have appointed Johannes Hoff Thorup, previously boss at Danish SuperLeague club Nordsjælland

If you add in semi-final defeats, us and Leeds are even worse :o . I make it that there are a total 104 clubs that have played in the football league play offs of which 20 clubs are no longer in the football league. Believe that this means there are only 8 clubs that have never competed in the play...

Clyde1998 Could be worse. Watford's logo from 1974 to 1978:

STAR asked me to post this When did they ask you to post this, hopefully not 6 weeks ago? :arrow: https://x.com/STARReading/status/1795815747920212164 We are in a tough position. Discretion is essential at this stage of negotiations, but we also know Reading fans are anxious for updates. This is be...

Yeah, they ran on a shoestring with the second most expensive goalkeeper ever, one of the most expensive CB's ever. They also got gazumped on Caicedo (117M Euros). They've bought some excellent value players, no doubt, but let's have it right! Nunez: 85 VVD: 84 Szobozlai: 70 Alison: 62 Keita: 60 et...

How many managers can anyone name that haven’t been sacked ? I’ll start …. Ferguson, Guardiola Bob Paisley Bill Shankley Bill Nicholson Terry Neill Jack Charlton Joe Fagan John Lyall Kenny Dalglish https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/18073446 Quite forgot he had that 12 months or whatever there in...

I'll go one better on the stink test stranded. Just days after exclusivity is extended, some rando twatter nomark says its all off. Why was exclusivity extended then? Was exclusivity officially extended? Before I left for my holiday there were two contrasting stories floating around. One was that D...

Many congratulations to our ex goalkeeper, Alex McCarthy, for getting promotion to the Premier League with Southampton yesterday; I hope he gets his chance as their first choice keeper next season. Looks like he's out of contract, with Celtic and Liverpool interested: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/li...

It's not a surprise to read this from Klopp, but remains refreshing to hear. From a Q&A hosted in Liverpool for fans last night, asked whether FSG held the purse-strings too tightly. Especially the final paragraph, which is a reference to Chelsea. “Can you imagine LFC as the club with unlimited...

Chelsea granted permission by Leicester to speak to Maresca, whom they will apparently offer a 5 year deal - which they will pay up in full when they fire him next year. Leicester will apparently get 10m in compensation. Chelsea clearly very impressed by his side nearly choking the most nailed on p...
