Thames Sports Investment

[tomrfcurz]

I can see this being a fancy name for 'John Madejski & Friends'. In essence, Madejski divides costs between multiple individuals meaning less cash out of his pocket but still is able to keep stability in the club. Obviously multiple investors should in theory mean multiple investments which you would assume would increase any transfer budget, unless of course he is literally dividing the way the club is exactly between himself and his 'investors'.

Perhaps TSI are a new vehicle, as they obviously are in a similar vein(sp) to the way there are franchises in the States, could it be that LI could become a part of it all and other sports teams in the town. Take down the dome and an arena could go there, put a secong floor on half the car park and a hockey pitch could also be added. The UK's first all sports area, like an Bluewatewr for sport. SHaring infrastructure and the like

a 7 minute gap there.

iT IS A FRIDAY NITE THO, Oh FFS

[When Hicks went up...]

Billionaire Russians.

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

I'm expecting to see a 61 plate minibus daubed in big blue comic sans type saying: 'TSI Proud to support Reading In The Community' at schools in the local area.

And that will be about that.

I for one would like to welcome our evil new overlords.

If we have a black hole every season, why would anyone want to go into business putting their money in, so JM doesn't have to put so much in, let him still be the Chairman - what's in it for them?

I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing rumours from local estate agents about showing both mysterious Russians and potential new signings around homes in the Reading area.

Yeh but how exciting, Man City exciting or Aston Villa exciting?

He has said it would have to be billionaires when he sells...

[floyd__streete]

I believe that Thames Sports Investments got bought out by Carlton Sports Investments in 1992.

[Maguire]

TSI won't exist as a company, it's just a name fellas.

He didn't say what it would have to be for him to divest himself of some of his shares...

[Badger Finger]

Maybe George Gillette got excited when he saw there's already a road named after him.

Doomed!
