Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If previous reports have been accurate (US/Saudi out a few weeks ago, Genevra now), and no new bidders have entered if's the Wilf brothers, which is an amazing outcome. They already own an NWSL and NFL side and have been sensible with spending.

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Luckily we have a shit ton of options on our doorstep. 3 or 4 years max wasn’t it? The nearest league standard ground is Wycombe. After that you are looking at Aldershot or Oxford. Any money we'd save by not paying Dai rent would be far outweighed by the loss of crowds. Brighton erected temporary s...

That's game over. Players can't even train now. Worth STAR not messing about with a phoenix club - Wimbledon started forming their phoenix on the 30th of May and 2 weeks later had everything in place to compete in 02-03. All of Reading City, Rams RFC's and Palmer Park (may be easier to organise as ...

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

How is invading the pitch/throwing tennis balls/wearing black going to convince Dai to accept £5 million less or for a buyer to pay £5 million more as surely that's all they are interested in rather that what the fans do? The only real chance the club has is to get enough political attention we get...

Re: BFTG Stevenage

The one fly in the ointment (well a lot of flies) is that the big clubs will be all over us very soon, if not already Both yesterday's CBs, Ehib, Vickers, Savage (for starters) look like future stars. It's all very well to say "Pin them down to long-term contracts" but, presumably, that i...

Re: BFTG Stevenage

If we get that Hutchinson for the rest of the year we'll be in a very good place. Having him and Button as old heads to calm down the kids who all have a massive clanger in them (expected given their experience) will be important. Credit goes to Bowen being allowed to implement a plan. While Selles ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (a)

From the little I've seen of Hunt's U21s they also play with a big press - this was an extremely good result but it does show the benefits of the first team playing in a very similar style to the youth team; you're not asking them to play against much harder opposition and totally change styles, jus...

Re: Ince & Ince appreciation thread.

Ince has done a phenomenal job. And should there not be a similar shout out for Bowen and Carey (he is still here isn’t he, haven’t heard any mention of him in recent months?)? To turn this team around without being able to spend a penny on fees is amazing. Bowen's the key at the moment, he's done ...

538's mathematics has Huddersfield, Hull & Blackpool going whilst we finish a glorious 16th. How does maths show us dropping from 3rd to 16th ? That needs us to get a fair bit worse and a lot of teams to improve quite a lot. Presumably their maths shows WBA finishing above us ? The way they wor...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (a)

It was nice to see a Reading team that are tough barstewards to break down and run at - although Holmes is likely to give away quite a few pens this season playing like that, albeit neither of their shouts were particularly strong yesterday. First run of 3 consecutive clean sheets for 18 months is a...

Re: Rival Watch

They were asking £40m for Sarr at the start of the season? On the basis of today they'd do well to get £3.50 and a packet of fags.
