Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Maybe the EFL should have the power to divert TV revenues to the tax man and/or player wages in situations such as those we've found ourselves in and then to get most clubs on board with that idea, further divert them to pay outstanding transfer fees owed to other EFL and non league clubs. Might do ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

People shouldn't be driving to games anyway, it is bad for the environment. Who said they want it to use as a car park? - probably want to do some building development before selling the club on less the car park, not realising the Thai's already did that Seriously though, If a prospective buyer is...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Just listened to Nigel Howe on the podcast, it would seem some prospective buyers are surprised they`re not getting the hotel too and some are concerned that we could lose all the car parking space when the royal elm park development finally starts, said he hoped they could buy that too, fukks sake...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

I listened to a recent episode of The Price of Football and Everton's appeal/points re-instatement, Apparently the EPL didn't have clear guidance regarding penalties that could be applied, so at the appeal they referred to the EFL guidance and as such applied that penalty which was lower. They also ...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Yes, but the fans have done that off their own back without the club being involved - hence the constant messages from the club about staying off the pitch, etc... Fans probably should've been punished with a game or two behind closed doors. If the club were going to organise something like that it...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

On top of that who in their right minds would renew their STs by the deadline date which is normally late June with the potential uncertainty still hanging over the club? They should definitely factor in zero ST revenue to cover the June/July wages and tax bills. I won't renew, just too risky. Yes ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Maybe Howe should be asking these interested parties to show their interest in the form of a secured loan to Reading FC to help out with the tax bill/wages and avoid subsequent points deductions. Everton have done this with their prospective buyers, however they've borrowed so much that the lenders ...

Stranded Anyway meeting with Howe is today apparently, so be very interesting* to see if we hear something positive.
Howe can legitimately say he's been meeting with interested parties if he meets STAR, BBC Berks or anyone... doesn't mean they've got any money to make an offer

Winston Biscuit With previous accusations at DBWD

Reading4eva What's the smallest, longest range one we can get that can carry a Dai Yongge get out of our club flag?

This is genius :lol:
If you get two, you can use them as roller skates and stick then under the feet of a Dai Yongge manequin and drive it around the pitch as a target for tennis balls.

Re: Reading fan at the gym today

Did you witness this gym goer stealing a rolled up yoga matt and spraying half a can of lynx on the headwear of a Sikh gym goer whilst trying to avoid questions about swang8?

If so, I think I know who it was.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The positive - at least it seems to be being done "correctly" and whilst it is taking time now, this may speed up the EFL checks as the work has already been done to prove funds etc. The negative - What if these checks can't prove that any of the bidders have the requisite funds, or readi...

Pepe the Horseman Credit to Dai for keeping hold of our best players in Jan. Big turning point.
I assume he didn't get round to selling them and/or they were with a different agent to the one who normally does his dirty work.
