Re: CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

I'll eat my proverbial if it is a current RFC director (which Narin is) or even someone at all from Thailand. It's a Brit and almost certainly a nobber and I don't know why everyone is taking a screenshot as irrefutable evidence rofl.

Re: Goal of the season 2024/25

Silver Fox BTW when did we have 10 goals worthy of going in a GOTS poll? What a cracking year


Absolutely, having Wing in the team guarantees some thronkers I guess! What a bizarre season all round tbh.

Re: Predictions for this weekend

Yeah agreed, it's been a season worth cheering for, win or lose on Saturday. 75 points is seriously impressive.

Re: Goal of the season 2024/25

Wing v Crawley for me. Was at that game and sat in the Dolan stand you got a really good view of how much that moved through the air, it went left then right wickedly and the video doesn't do it justice.

Some absolute crackers this year though, we've been spoiled

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if the fact that we are a sizeable (and saleable) asset outside China. He's evidently looking for a good sum up front, maybe he hopes to stash it somewhere safe beyond the grasp of the CCP? There are unsubstantiated rumours he's in the UK. Nice little nest ...

Let's be honest, if it isn't Couhig we are totally, utterly oxf*rd.

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

Gents - far be it from me to incur the wrath of Brogue ( :? ) but what is the actual news - if any? Is it that Platek has dropped out and Couhig is talking up buying the club? Is there any evidence that this is proceeding? We know for certain that the Exclusivity announced in March has failed and t...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

On the academy issue, Joe Jacobson was certainly really positive about the value of the academy at Reading when he was interviewed by Dellor. No idea whether Jacobson would be involved now, but he was obviously privy to Couhig's thinking last summer. If it were me (ha!), assuming Reading don't go u...

Brogue *** Breaking News***

This thread has now overtaken the 'Academy Watch' thread, moving to number 3 on the all time biggest threads on the team board.

Thanks for all your support.

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

A quick buck, for him, means a 3 to 4 year project which isn't unreasonable. He will run us sustainably which will be the first time since SJM and, to me at least, is no bad thing. But to really see a return on his investment, he will need to get us back in the Champ, which he will know he can't do ...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

Surely the point is that Couhig has one of Dai’s ball in a vice-like grip (and the EFL are holding the other one a bit more gingerly), so now Dai is just going to have to take Couhig’s offer, or lose everything? And I think a whole bunch of us suggested that the litigation was a fairly transparent ...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

WestYorksRoyal
windermereROYAL Administration would very probably mean starting next season on -12 points. if we still have a team that is.

That's fine. Bigger things at stake than a L1 relegation battle.


Quite, I'd take Reading in L2 over no Reading at all.

Re: Man down -SCIAG

Really sorry for your loss CR. Even more so in such tragic circumstances.

He was a great poster and, whilst I didn't know him real life, I imagine that extended to his personage in the real world too.

My thoughts are with you.

Re: Gylfi Sigurdsson > Michael Olise > Steve Sidwell

Given where Olise currently is and likely will spend his career, it has to be either: For us: Sidwell > Sigurdsson > Olise Or career wise: Olise > Sidwell > Sigurdsson Sidwell was a key part of many seasons of success or partial success for us. He went on to play (occasionally) for Chelsea, then co...

Re: Gylfi Sigurdsson > Michael Olise > Steve Sidwell

I think it depends on whether you mean when they were playing for us or throughout their careers and their ability as a whole.

Playing for us I would say:

Sidwell > Gylf > Olise

In terms of career and overall ability:

Olise > Gylf > Sidwell

Re: CONFIMRED - This might be it!!

Well if it goes to shit and he looks to sell us after a year or two that’s still better than going to shit and having an owner that isn’t selling the club.
