Re: MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (a)

Never a penalty. Ref blew very quickly. Absolutely awful decision.

Looks like George Puscas got 15 minutes for Romania in their win over Ukraine at the Euros. Anyone see it?

Re: Olise

More concrete rumours coming in to corroborate. I think this is better news for Dai than Reading FC, sadly. Having worked on a few M&A deals in my time, the consideration is often adjusted for cash within the business. E.g., if the club has an extra £5m cash, the price goes up £5m and it's fair...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Yeah, you can't stop them from competing whilst they are innocent. Imagine the court cases if they were forced to sit a season or two out and were then found not guilty on all counts or only on some of the lesser charges and were only fined or had a small points deduction. This very much feels like...

Re: Rival Watch

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Manchester City get relegated down to L1 or even L2, and have all of their trophies stripped of them as part of the punishment when the Premier League FINALLY get around to having a look at those 115 charges........... It would greatly surprise me if there is...

Re: Royals on the Box/Internet Thread

A disaster for any match going fans who face the inconvenience of early kick-off times in order to accommodate live TV and also for the club who will be worse off. I've heard RoyalsTV is a nice revenue generator for them, particularly on a midweek when a number of STH's won't attend home matches bu...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

It's easy to be sanctimonious but did any of us really give a shit when Derby and Portsmouth were in the shit? I mean really give a shit? Reader, I'll be honest, I didn't. I did about Portsmouth - and not in a good way. It made me rage at the time - the club were paying £100k a week to players whil...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (h)

Given the amount of stick Selles got a while back, I think it's only fair he gets praise now. I think he's done a great job at turning it around under these circumstances. Agreed reckon we are going to make the playoffs which would be a successful season all things told. Nice to dream, but dont thn...

Snowflake Royal
Brogue This is going to be a tense finish

Win would be fantastic, but a draw is still good, and I don’t see them scoring 2.

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

The post appears to have been deleted. If it is £300k for both then that's disappointing, but hopefully we'll have a sell on clause for both of them. If that figures is true, it just shows how desperate the club is for money right now. If it is true then I hope people in the club remember how certa...

All this going on and, of course, SKY not showing the slightest interest - shows how utterly meaningless Reading are in the scope of things and that this isn't actually going to do much of anything.

Everton docked 10 points :shock: Opens the door for Burnley, Leeds and Leicester to sue Everton for relegation damages. This.

There's a post on Twitter claiming that after Ejaria refused to go on at Hull he left the ground there and then in his track suit and got the train home. The same post claims he has lunch away from the players in his car. Saw that, quite an interesting read - https://twitter.com/ThomasH_1871/status...

Re Caicedo vs. Bellingham, one essential difference in the transfers is the level of wages, bonuses, signing fees and agents fees associated with any Bellingham transfer that don't exist to the same extent with Caicedo. It's a cracking signing - and totally hilarious that they have taken him from u...
