Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

4) Improve matchday experience Bring back programmes, involve local suppliers, get rid of Compass and their appalling food. Think of initiatives to make matchday more enjoyable and bring fans back.

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 23/24

can I throw in another interesting law of the game that people often don't know? If a game goes to a penalty shoot out and one of the teams has had a red card during the match, the other team has to nominate a player that is excluded from the shoot out so that in case it goes way into sudden death ...

Re: Football Rel8d Gripes

I had forgotten that it's this time of the season you get headlines of 'x ruled out for season', which means they are out for 2 weeks. Also x hasn't scored for 5 months or x haven't won a game for 5 months, but includes the summer break and weeks where only 1 game, or no game has been played and ac...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Whilst true, I also very much doubt that any catering company knowing the issues with payment Compass have experienced would enter into and happily announce a partnership with the club without some kind of confirmation that the financial situation at the club is about to markedly improve. That's ho...

Re: £397K on agents fee

Reading spent the second-highest amount on agent fees (league One) in the last 12 months only Derby spent more than £434k I am rather surprised by this given all of our spending restrictions anyone. Is this needs must, or do we deserve less sympathy than we thought? Are you? I’d have thought it was...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Won't they be in financial ruin if they don't go up? Will at the very least have to have a fire sale. I think so, I think they might also be in trouble re: points deduction if they do go up? Yeah, they will have to have a fire sale, but the problem is the wages these players are on - are they actua...

Re: Record Watch 23/24

Sometimes I think about Sunderland fans when they had the record - they must've thought it would never be taken, only for us to beat it a couple of years later.

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

I think it is somewhat negated by the Championship being a very tough, even league. With the squad they have it would be considered a failure not to go up. They have an embarrassment of riches.
