Interesting* thread on how Dai may be absolutely financially screwed: https://twitter.com/mikeygow/status/1750249299739377877 And that this may help the sale as he is likely to need some cash, quickly. There is a negative spin available, that ultimately he won't focus on the sale of a football club...

… A mention for the ref, I thought he did well despite giving 14 fouls to Derby compared to our 2, Derby's game plan seemed to be to win a free kick and nick a goal from a set piece, the ref resisted awarding a lot of soft fouls they played for. …. Entirely agree - I thought the ref had a really go...

In Ian's absence I will make a rare substitute appearance. A strange but entertaining game where I don't remember either keeper making a save which is rare in any game of football. Their keeper had the shot from Azeez that cannoned back out off his chest but none of our players were quick/close eno...

I was expected a 3 point deduction and to lose tonight. Delighted to be wrong on both counts, or we'd be 10 points behind. Why were you expecting a 3 point deduction? Has anyone been deducted 3 points for a single pitch invasion? Because it wasn't just a pitch invasion. It was a deliberate act by o...

At this point a transfer embargo is like banning a homeless person from shopping in Harrods. I'm not expecting the EFL to give us any more punishments t hat put the future of the club further at risk, not even for the Port Vale match. Maybe some suspended stuff. That is laughable! it will be points...

Seen it suggested by some on X, formally known as twitter, that we should allow Port Vale to win. Like when a goal is scored against the spirit of the game and so they let them walk through and even it up. Agreed. Compensation for the goals they didn't score. And, in the same spirit, maybe they'd l...

Seriously wtf is the obsession with subbing our full backs? At the time I thought he'd done it because their new signing is really pacey and full of tricks. Mbengue is a lot faster than Yiadom and Yiadom was clearly tiring. After the game Selles apparently said it was to manage Yiadom's fitness, ha...

A fantastic win. Azeez MOTM. We can do this! I'd have given it to Mukairu, Azeez is great going forwards but too often, IMO, fails to track back quickly enough and leaves our right back very exposed. Last night Yiadom and Mbengue quite often found themselves having to try to look after two players ...

Double action next Sunday for the Royals Ladies teams. 1st team home to Birmingham in the Championship at the SCL stadium KO 1pm. The development team have a Berks and Bucks senior cup semi-final away to New Bradwell St Peter FC KO 1.30pm Royals v Birmingham is live on the FA player. Not anymore it...

Have replied with... Dear Fiona, Thank you for responding on John's behalf. I'm afraid that the White Paper does little for Reading FC's very immediate plight, especially in light of the EFL's admission yesterday that there is little that they can do if the owner refuses to sell. What is necessary,...

A quick look at X, formally known as twitter, shows a handful of fan groups promoting this 16th minute clap, and the responses from their own fans are almost universally laughter, stating they will obviously not do it, and then conversations starting up about things we have done in the past etc as ...

I have contributed, but like anything it’s individual choice. Agreed. I shall probably contribute but I am surprised that we can't find a suitable lawyer amongst our fanbase who would be prepared to act pro-bono. Maybe they should put out messages on SM asking? Maybe SJM knows someone and can call ...

WRTOP, I've seen this tweet from SBWD: https://x.com/SellBeforeWeDai/status/1747596396562092091?s=20 What legal advice do we think SBWD need to procure, and is it fair for them to be fleecing gullible Reading fans into donating their hard earned so that a few self selected fans can pay a lawyer to ...

Just seen this on Twitter - https://twitter.com/II86505533/status/1747234412830380378 Just called up and lady has promised to pass on my message to Dai Yongge The Message was "Sell Reading Football Club" She was very helpful, hopefully he will get lots of emails today asking him to sell t...

It is possible that the whole thing has got to him and he's ceased to think rationally and is willing to cut off his nose to spite his face. I don't know the whole background but its not a conclusion I would jump to. The signs that I am picking up are of someone under pressure who may or may not be...

He also said Dai "gambled on getting to the PL, which never works" It did work for Aston Villa and Bournemouth. Which is why crooks like Dai try it. That play-off final between Derby and Villa was basically a contest on who's gamble would pay off and who would face a financial crisis. Peo...

At 10:50 on today's appearance at Parliament : Damian Green: If you disqualify Dai, what happens to the club. Parry: The logical consequence is that the owner sells the club. Whether Dai will do anything logical remains to be seen. We'll continue to explore every avenue open to us. We can't promise...

I fear it won't happen to us. The key with Brighton is that the owner sold, while our owner is lying to us when he says he will. Bury's owner rejected several offers before it ended; he lost out big time and tried to sue the EFL for their expulsion, to no avail. It's great what Brighton have done a...

People pushing for more pitch invasions, not sure what traction it will get, but for me Saturday sent out a big message and achieved it`s goals, any more will be counter productive and do more damage than good. It will almost certainly stop fans coming if they`re uncertain of seeing a full game. My...

SBWD stood firmly against the in game pitch invasion on Saturday I think. Have they said whether they would support another one? They suggested invading and occupying the pitch at the end of the game (support team throughout) on Saturday. I believe some of them are now suggesting the protests shoul...
