Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

Royals and Racers Tuma has been sent off for an elbow incident playing for Slough today at Maidenhead.


Not ideal when we've sent him there because the unders don't have a lot of games for the next month.

Re: Reading hit with winding-up petition by former chief executive

Just before the transfer window. Likely hoping the club will give him the money to avoid a potential transfer embargo.

We know from the Olise agent saga that it's the sort of trick Howe would pull.

Re: The generic transfer thread

Would love to see Mainoo go abroad and tear it up Go to Napoli. That's where United flops become world beaters. Whilst not at Fergie levels, his record is hardly a flop... is your team still going?

Re: Joe Jacobson - Liability or Asset ?

I obviously touched a nerve with that previous comment about the Knibbs transfer.

Having qualifications doesn't mean he's not a liability in the specific situation the club is in after Dai.

Re: Joe Jacobson - Liability or Asset ?

Yes, he is a liability. The situation this club is in, having to recover from Dai, is too big of a job for a rookie CEO who is learning on the job. Couhig is allegedly sharing the CEO duties with him, but I don't see how that doesn't create an issue having a guy who is your boss be sharing your job ...

Re: Joe Jacobson - Liability or Asset ?

Sure Couhig said at one of his Q&As that both fees for Knibbs and Mbengue had not yet been agreed and had to go to tribunals, of course he may have been mistaken on these things but presume he’d be on top of the financial side of things. I think you may have to go back, have a listen to this Q&...

Rather have Jaida Parker.

If Hugh is as bad as the last bloke we got from there then Hull can keep him.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bradford City (a)

As if the result wasn't bad enough, Richardson's after match comments are outrageous. "We have got a lot of youthfulness and players who have been to Valley Parade for the first time, you can't get away with that. Maybe 60/70% of our players have never been here, never played against the likes...

Re: Club shop

It’s excellent to see demand so high that so many items are out of stock. It’s a shame when you can’t buy what you want or the size you need but I’d be more worried if everything was available especially at this time of year. An excellent revenue source. Maybe next year we will see a larger Christm...
