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

Dai has had all the time he would need to get relevant professional advice and is unlikely to be impressed by the personal abuse or attempts to steamroller him. If anything, these are much more likely to stiffen his resolve to get the best financial outcome for himself and anyone else financially c...

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

paultheroyal Dont know why, but i am just sensing a thawing, that statement in the sale was ever so slightly more definite and positive.

I am feeling a chink of light.

Re: “ Sell before we Dai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group v2.3b sponsored by Sports Direct Tennis Ba

My biscuit with the whole thing is that the protests feel more against the club than the owner. Best thing to come from the tennis balls was a bit of public attention, but I don’t think it helped the team and I don’t think it adds any pressure on Dai to sell. Our best bet is the EFL fining him direc...

Re: Boycott

I've been boycotting Reading football matches for about three years now and I find that not having to spend time with other Reading fans and not having to watch Reading play football has made me much, much happier. You should try going along to a game or two of rugby - higher class fans at a higher...

Re: BFTG - Wimbledon away (pre-season friendly)

Ian; Playing to the strengths of the academy, of whom may make up at most 2/11 players in the side, at the expense of the other 9, seems like a good way to fail. Maybe it's the football we want. But we need the players for it and we don't keep them long enough to move beyond the first stage of evolu...

Re: BFTG - Wimbledon away (pre-season friendly)

A club that can't compete in the transfer market should be playing to the strengths of the players, the manager adapting the style to them, not the players adapting to the style of the managers. There is a reason a team with Readings budget has performed better with a faster, more direct, counter-at...

Re: BFTG - Wimbledon away (pre-season friendly)

Didn't suggest it wasn't. Point still stands though and we've had this situation before under Adkins and Rodgers where we're trying to play like other clubs instead of concentrating on our own strengths. Playing possession football badly does not mean you should stop trying to play possession footb...

Re: What are your expectations for this season? (with poll)

I'm with genome - getting a kinda good vibe. The signings being made are my type of signings. Okay, no bank breakers or 'on the radar' names but long term, young, cost effective, hungry promise with a future ahead of them. Much prefer that to your has-beens, old duffers and short term loans. I also ...

Gunter: alright footballer, probably at our level, difficult to judge over his time with us as we have been a shambles side, looks better in a more coherent team like Wales. As does HRK. I don't think either of them are stars but they are better than they seem with us. You could argue that they a co...

Moyes would be ace. Stam: I just don't get the excitement on here. If you didn't know his name, you all would be wondering what the fcuk our owners were doing bringing in a manager of zero experience or success.

Of course it works
