My guess is that while Howe does his best to broker the best deal he can for the club, Pang is working independently to get what Dai thinks is the best deal for him i e the highest bidder.

I’m keeping my celebrations over the Bearwood news ‘on hold’ until we know the wider effects on Dai’s behaviour. A pity the news didn’t come out a week later as the sale of the club might have got over the line. I have fears Dai will stop talks on the takeover now.

Is it time to regularise punishments and so do away with independent panels in order to bring swift and consistent outcomes ? By that in this case I mean at the start of the season the EFL clubs agree what the punishment should be if a club breaks the 100 day rule and all clubs that breach the rule ...

I was against trying for an abandonment before yesterday and even during the invasion I thought the protesters should have left the pitch before the game was called off. My reasoning was that I don’t think it will have any effect on Mr Dai and the EFL, for all their contribution to the situation, no...

I’m open minded on what sort of protest should happen next but can someone in favour of trying to get a match abandoned just outline what this might achieve please. I’m not being flippant just asking a genuine question.

A few observations. I think the big positive about the tennis ball protests and the march was to raise awareness of the issue. Before that the media (including Radio Berkshire) were barely covering it. I don’t think Dai has been bothered by anything that fans or local MPs have done. At this stage I ...

Lewis Smith was also the referee against Ipswich in the EFL Cup so could oversee us getting knocked out of two cup competitions in the same season.

As has been mentioned most of the online football media reported an 84th minute equaliser for Wycombe. Did something happen around that time in the game ? Goal disallowed or shot into the side netting ?

There is no quick way by public transport but by train Reading to Oxford and Oxford to High Wycombe takes about an hour and a half.

Are Maidenhead likely to fulfil their obligation to the competition this season ?

We need Samrit Bunditkitsada to rescue us.

Anyone know whether there will be players unavailable for this due to the forthcoming internationals ?

Beat West ham on the evening of 9/11, Wycombe away around 3 years ago. As far as I can make out the full record on penalty shoot outs is this: Won Lost ⋅  Feb 1993 - Exeter City (a) (League Trophy thing) L 4-2 ⋅  Feb 1998 - Cardiff City (h) (FAC4) W 4-3 ⋅  Sep 2001 - W...

Apologies if this has been discussed before but if Wilder is the new boss are there any ex Blades that he might want here ? That pleasant young man Billy Sharp for instance to see if he can do better this time or any slightly younger players ?

Will Sheffield Wednesday be fishing in the same managerial pond as us when they sack Moore ?

Referees and their Assistants are in constant communication via earpieces.

I watched the Wigan game and Coventry’s decision making in the final third stopped them winning comfortably. Maybe could say the same about the game against them at the SCL. Wigan however at least gave it a go and got a fortunate equaliser. I doubt we would have come back under the same circumstance...

Apologies if this has been said before but in my opinion the only parties who should know about the threat of the points deduction at this stage are the EFL, the independent panel who adjudicate and Reading FC and at the moment everyone else should be in blissful ignorance. Even once the threat had ...

[quote="paultheroyal" my understanding is we are not paying a penny for Rahman or Hendrick - the only caveat is they must start in 90% of games if fit.[/quote] This could be part of the problem. Kieran Maguire on one of his recent podcasts said that this kind of loan condition would break ...
