When the financial problems started to bite two years ago, Moore privately told the club that he wouldn't refuse a transfer if it would help. They responded by publicly stripping him of the captaincy. Don't think it's fair to characterise Moore as happily sat on the bench. If you're going to find fa...

Who needs Meite when we’ve got Azeez?

Middle ground, no expectations, open to good things but alert to bad ones. People thought Stam would be a disaster and he had us penalties away from promotion. So I don’t get believer points :( Did think it was stupid that people were judging him based on Southampton. If anything I’m less positive ...

If we got new owners and stability, our return would be "when", not "if". An immediate return may not be on the cards given the smoulder mess Dai is leaving behind, but we would be an absolutely massive club in L2. Convince managers, players etc., that we've put this terrible er...

I haven’t forgiven Luton for breaking our unbeaten streak in 2005/06. They should have had the decency to just let us win like everyone else did.

Dgaf about them signing our players. And anyone on their high horse should look at what we did wrt Doyle and Long…

Apart from when John Mackie racially abusing Carl Asaba in 2002. And when our own fans sang racist songs about Seol and Al-Habsi. That's a stretch and a bit. Seol maybe, the songs are more closely associated with Park Ji-Sung after all, but the songs about Al-Habsi being in ISIS made news. There wa...

Snowflake Royal

Stranded

Snowflake Royal Yikes, triple barrell. His parents should be imprisoned.

We also have Jacob Hammond-Chambers-Borgnis.

Surprised we haven't tried to sell them both off as a 6 player set.

Just portmanteau it ffs parents.

NathStPaul Reading FC are many things but we have never been a club associated with racism, stamp it out nice and early.

Obviously he's a professional who just wants to get paid at the end of the week, And therein lies the rub - no matter how much you love your employer, if they stop paying you on time and you've got a mortgage to pay and a baby to take care of, you're going to become very pragmatic very quickly. Por...

If there's a sell-on clause, would that purely be for the next transfer? As it seems pretty obvious he'll be at Olympiakos, then a dirt cheap transfer to Forest - so does that sell on fee actually really matter here?! As discussed, there are FIFA regulations regarding international transfers that w...

I am pretty sure last Thursday that one of the journos tweeted Selles saying they were discussing incomings with the EFL. That was probably related to Holmes being loaned back to us by Luton though. No way can I see us signing anyone tbh. I am fully expecting Smith, Knibbs and Wing to depart before...

Will Unwin @Will_Unwin Nelson Abbey is set to leave Reading to join Olympiakos, I am told 2:11 PM · Jan 19, 2024 · ^ guardian journo So as he's out of contract in the summer and Olympiakos is not an English team - what does this mean regarding any compensation? Nothing. If he goes now, it is a tran...

Not ideal, but being brutally honest it's a good way to bring cash in now without harming the first team. The lost talent will either be the next owner's problem or be irrelevant when we're extinct. I was about to say it wouldn't bring in much - but if we lost a 16-year-old who has been with us sin...

Where's the SCIAG beef come from Brogue? He's knowledgeable about the youth set up and players, and sometimes he gets things wrong. A bit like you saying the game wouldn't be abandoned or it was confirmed William Storey had bought the club. I know which things I'd be more embarrassed by. He's just ...

I would save your breath, SCIAG believes Tom Holmes is better than Jake Cooper and Rob Dickie :| he has weird views towards our academy products. Saying things like letting Teddy Howe go was a massive mistake, and how he was going to be a regular championship defender. checks where he is now? weymo...

Anything above 150k would be ok I think. :lol: Jesus Christ you people have low expectations. It isn’t 2003 any more! Even £500k is a steal in the modern market. We obviously have a shit negotiating position but look at the fees for Dion Sanderson or Liam Kitching to get an idea of what the going r...

I was thinking a lot about the playoff final yesterday Was that penalty shootout a huge sliding doors moment? Inevitably, play-off finals have huge impacts for the clubs involved. We’d have struggled sporting wise but we’d have been in better financial shape for at least the next three years. Too h...

So, let's say that yesterday's protest has convinced Dai to sell, the next step is to find/convince someone to buy us. Is there anything we fans can do to help find a buyer? Google “billionaires”. Go down the list, and get contact details for each one. Call them up and ask them if they’d like to wa...

Don't agree with it, personally. Not sure it achieves anything meaningful. Having seen it, I am supportive of the on-pitch protest but not pushing it to abandonment. All footage shared is of the out pouring of love and pride toward our club and anger at what is happening. That would still have been ...

Also where do you think Barack Obama was on 9/11?

Maybe if he'd been doing his job in the White House then the attacks wouldn't have happened.
