Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

The one thing that stood out to me was we kept in the game even when we were under the cosh. We always looked like we were capable of hitting them on the break and Azeez has well and truly proved me wrong. We definitely need another experienced striker and as mentioned above Ehib isn’t going to impr...

Re: Selles In

I honestly believe with any other manager with lower league experience we’re easily sat in a comfortable mid table position. However, I am starting to think that Selles was probably the only one willing to accept the role given our current shit show. It all started off fairly promising in the league...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wigan Athletic (h)

After the performance against Lincoln last week I am really looking forward to this one. It’s a really important game as it sets the tone for a busy period of games where we could lift ourselves out of the relegation zone. With regards to Mbengue he’ should be a CB atm, but I’d like to think that he...

Re: I've lost count - Embargos, HMRC Payent defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

As much as I don’t like the idea of anyone being made redundant, I see all this as the club trying to get their house in order in time for a potential sell. Irrespective of whether I like it or not it needs to happen, as right now the senior management need to do everything within their power to sav...

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

At least SBWD said there are some positives, albeit it’s just words atm. For me, the performance at Lincoln, getting rid of Ejaria and Pang actually being at the meeting are all a bit more encouraging compared to recent weeks. Although unconfirmed reports of staff redundancies are grim, if true. I a...

Re: Brighton U21s (League Trophy)

Having witnessed some good tussles against Brighton over the last 30+ years, I can’t bring myself to think about this game. It just serves as a painful reminder of a club that’s been well run and one that’s been oxf*rd. Hopefully, we can win and get a decent draw in the last 8.

Re: I've lost count - Embargos, HMRC Payent defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Basically, yes. This pretty much fits my 'new owner soon or we don’t start next season theory. He now has to pay £20k in fines. - he won't. Plus the previously stipulated amount to be held in lieu of paying bills on time, by 12 Jan. - he won't. Then on 13 Jan he'll need to pay £70k in fines. - he w...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

When was the last time an English club bigger than Reading folded? Bury. Bury spent more years in the top diviosion, Bury soent more season in the second division. Bury won the FA Cup. Is this a joke? 12k ground normally half full, not in the top flight since before the 2nd World War. Like those pe...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

From what i've heard, Dai has just completely disengaged. He doesn't follow what's going on at the club at all and isn't taking any of the takeover stuff seriously. Sounds about right It’s like he’s just got bored, but why not sell up and go away with a few quid I agree, maybe sell us to Ashley for...

Re: Matona-Glody Ngyombo

Stranded Well, if true, he has played 17 games in the Regionalliga West (effectively German 4th tier) and is a defensive midfielder.


He sounds ideal for National League South.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

But it's not logical. Who in their right mind would reject a bid, put us into administration, lose control of the sale process and in all likelihood receive a lot less? If none of the bids are up to his asking price, the only logical response would be to fund the club again, get it on firmer footin...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If Dai just wants to kill us like his 2 other clubs how does that actually work? I understand that only Dai can put us into administration, which would most likely result in new ownership and a points deduction, but we’d survive as a club. However, what would be the main trigger for the club to be l...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I am starting to think we’ll continue to limp along this season and get relegated. Then next season we’ll be hit with a catastrophic points deduction which will all but relegate us to the National League. Sadly, that could actually be one of the better scenarios. I don’t trust Dai and I think out of...

Throughout my lifetime of supporting Reading, barring the last few years, we’ve always managed to build up a head of steam in home games and put sides under the cos...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I am not sure if it’s just twitter bollox, but I have seen tweets saying that the deal with Genevra has collapsed. The reason being that Samuelson was involved and his fee, along with Howe’s fee couldn’t be agreed. If true how the oxf*rd can Samuelson be allowed anywhere near our club again.
