Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'm also bemused as to how Wycombe could make it work financially, it's worth 3 times as much as the club. Given the limitations on use. I wonder if they planned to rent it out as event space in the summer. Certainly under UEFA FFP rules money spent on infrastructure, youth development or training ...

Re: Selles In

Great stuff. I do worry that we are not as far from the relegation places as the article suggests, especially with any more points deductions. But the article gives me confidence we can survive on merit. I was at the Cambridge game, it was very impressive. OTOH if we do survive, the thousands of di...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

genome Thanks both!

No news is good news. Or bad news.

Definitely bad news.

The clock is ticking.

I think we've got about 5 weeks left for exclusivity to be signed before it's too late to save us and so pointless.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Right, I've been away for a few days and haven't been following anything to do with Reading. Can someone summarise the current st8 of affairs for me please? Nothing has changed. No exclusivity deal.

Re: Selles In

Any between losing to Fleetwood and the wins against Wycombe and Carlisle week fair game in my view. Even after those 2 we lost to Eastbourne and Barnsley. But you'll find some crackers from September or even August! By Fleetwood we were on a run of P8, W1, D1, L6. That's quite a generous start poi...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I hope more than anything I am wrong, but I think we’ll get to 2 April with no news. The club will go silent apart from the usual tweets from admin and in the middle of April news will slowly filter out confirming that takeover talks have collapsed. I don’t trust Dai to sell the club. Nigel Howe re...

Re: Selles In

Any manager that had the results that Selles did at the start of the season would be under immense pressure and be facing deserved criticism. Especially one with zero track record of success. Sure, he was dealing with an 'impossible' situation that wasn't his fault - but managers ultimately carry t...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Dai basically made two mistakes, but they're both pretty bad. 1) Put too much of his own money into the squad rather than follow the profit and sustainability rules (which would probably have led to better recruitment), ultimately forcing us to work under EFL sanctions for years on end. 2) Ran out ...

I 5hink we all know by know how this will almost certainly play out now. You just have to hope his rational self interest wins the day in the end. He gets nothing from the club if he doesn't sell. He's tried asset stripping and selling the training ground and it has failed. As difficult as he seems...

Nobody is forcing you, there is a block option. i worked there for RM and the site including the car park is huge. You used to work there? Well that changes everything.

Re: Rival Watch

Only 3 games in L1 tomorrow, but one is Burton Albion v Port Vale which is massive for both of them. Draw suits us best, but if there has to be a winner I'd prefer Burton help bury Vale. Draw best, but I'd far rather Vale won and were still 6 behind than Burton won and move equal points. Max teams ...

Surely he isn't serious.
