No, any positivity went in the Wilder farce. Going to take an incredible season start to get it back again.


Win the first 2 and it’d be forgotten about :)


Which would be an incredible start for Reading... :lol:


True. I’m not saying that’s going to happen just to be clear

Re: Potential New Owners

Think the other issue is fans are genuinely pretty easily placated. See the joy at us paying a tax bill for example Announce Selles and Walcott today, get linked to a few half decent midfielders and suddenly everyone is fairly positive again No, any positivity went in the Wilder farce.

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

I can't see us spending over £500k this summer at best. Amos and Fornah would probably do well at this level to be fair, providing both can keep fit and be consistent but they should stand a much better chance here than anywhere else. Assuming the 3 midfielders we have been linked with come off, th...

Re: HMRC Winding up petition/order

Guess that’s where a good manager comes in rather than one who’ll drop you after one bad game. Hunt said the right things about plying without fear then dropped Camara totally after one bad half

Re: Selles confimred

At last! Very positive words from Bowen and am enthused about the fact that they have defined a philosophy for the club and have hired a manager (Yes Ian, I said manager :wink: ) who they feel fits and is ambitious. The players we are starting to be linked seem to fit what we are looking for - so w...

Re: Selles confimred

Extensive comments from Bowen as well

As I said early on if this is Bowen’s choice with a clear policy and structure in mind I’m in. And that seems to be the case

Re: 2023/2024 Kit Leaked

Apparently not fake

I quite like them. I like the concept more than the execution

The away one would look decent as casual wear, though don’t like the collar.

The image is the lion isn’t it? Not the back of someone’s head. That’s the other issue with that one, not clear what it is

Re: HMRC Winding up petition/order

I am not sure of the rules but could we use mostly u23s for the Papa Johns Trophy? That for me would be far better to help their development. What are we basing the not ready statement on? Plenty of them have already made numerous first team appearances. Weird thing is we announced we signed some 2...

Re: HMRC Winding up petition/order

Hopefully, there should be some good news about signings today/tomorrow. I think 6 or 7 new players is enough, especially as Selles needs to mould them into a team. Maybe save one or two options for just before the window closes. I agree with Hound, lots of signings doesn’t guarantee success. We ne...

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

And linked with interest in Luke Amos, out of contract at QPR. Once seen as a promising central midfielder when on the books of Tottenham, he would probably be a decent player at League 1 level. People like him, Adeniran and Fornah are sensible targets that we should be interested in, but this shou...

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Yeah you’d think L1 prob Amos level so again would prob be a sensible signing for us

Profile again - reasonably young but fairly experienced CMs - is what we need

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Yeah wouldn’t say no if he didn’t cost us anything

He showed flashes but champ was a step too far for him. Would expect him to be a lot better in L1

Re: Harvey Knibbs

He is a midfielder rather than a striker I think. 5 goals and 5 assists is ok But he is basically young, reasonably experienced, probably cheap enough. He’ll come and be a solid squad player who is prob sub or substituted more often than not He is a solid enough signing, don’t think anyone is preten...

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Heard a few whispers that we will make several signings very soon. But we have no money in the pot for transfer fees so all will be free agents and loans. But whilst we are embargo free, we still have to stick to an agreement with the EFL on maximum wages and percentage spent on agents fees. Surely...

Re: Dennis Adeniran

YorkshireRoyal99 As long as he doesn't turn out to be another Tyrese Fornah or anything like that, then yes all for it. Seems like the type of player we should be going for.


Don’t know what Fornah (or TDB) were meant to be; which was part of the issue

This lad seems a definite CM
