Congratulations to Birmingham I guess. Pretty big achievement even with their spending.

Now there's a thread for people to only post in once the takeover is officially complete so we can all see it's happened.

No posting here until then. And we can keep up the inane discussion everywhere else without the flashes of expectation and disappointment

You're welcome.

FYI - y'all. You do know this is a 450 page thread absolutely filled with nothing?

Are you new here expecting there to be actual news when the other 449 pages have basically none?

I'm not sure I've got the hang of this.

Puns!

Been a bit tied up this afternoon (bl**dy work!) and when I saw the page count had jumped signficantly I thought "'er we go, 'ere we go....its happened!!!" ..................and then read 5 pages of crap giving absolutely no new facts. What a let down! :evil: Yep, people need to stop post...

Hope we do our bit, because with everything arranged and potentially a home sellout or near enough, it would be a shame to not get the win since it's becoming a bit of an occasion. I almost feel its more of a downer to win and have Orient win, than to draw or lose. You have the juxtuposition of the...

Huang Kad eat your heart out, I have ITK news ... the deal is done and just needs a signature. Sadly my ITK did not specify whose signature. Thank you for reading my insider knowledge Yay. Except we all surely guess it's Dai's signature, and this is where we were half a year or so ago and it all we...

Whatever happened to the poster formerly known as Readingbedding?

Thanks for that; venturing into the Musk-owned cess-pit that is Twitter is not for me, so updates from there are appreciated. +1 Where's the infamous HK wlsay he's sitting? Lower west stand - anyone who DM's him is free to buy him a beer at the game.... What a privilege he's offering. Lower West - ...

People are mental

I hope someone is getting the police involved with that

Latest from Twitter for those who don't use: HK saying announcement today or tomorrow latest. Someone else claiming to be ITK saying RC at game on Sat and all club social media stuff has been completed. BUT James Earnshaw saying work still being done on deal.... Huang Kad is at the game on Sat, eve...

Fezza Are we still under a suspended points deduction for pitch invasions? I'm assuming that the club's message is more about protecting any chance of the play offs from an EFL that is at the end of its tether with us!

Not for pitch invasions, its for match abandonments.

Didn’t see it, but I would say there's been a lot of talk when things looked worse of it being our last chance to make any sort of statement and go out with a bang if the deal isn’t done, because that would look like the end of us. I'm hoping the deal is done by 3pm Saturday, or if it isn’t the club...

Is it done yet?

Either way our problems had nothing to do with Dai's finances until about 5 years into his reign, so if the PL did have concerns, they haven’t been born out. Everything wrong with us is to do with how Dai ran us, and spent beyond our income. Not where his money came from. Even when his money dried u...

Forbury Lion I spoke to some Indian's about this and the main reason they said they don't support Reading and wouldn't come to a game even if the tickets were free is because they live in India.
Seems distance is an issue.

Millsy has stolen your log in Forbs.

Looking it up, perhaps a bit harsh on our signings. Left in 2020/21 (That long ago!?) Transfers in Laurent, Ejaria (turned out a bit disastrously, but hard to predict), Camara, Onen, Luzon Loans in Gibson, Semedo, Esteves So only really Ejaria competing for Holsgrove's position. Wiki has Holsgrove a...

The Times are reporting the Premier League advised the EFL to not sanction Dai's takeover in 2017 and they were told he'd have to sell if Reading were promoted to the Premier League. How would the PL know anything about the deal, its out of their jurisdiction, they wouldn’t be involved. And the FL ...
