I was on the phone with a club insider at the time, wasn't possible. That's where delegation helps - you can't do it all yourself, you'll just drop a ball or two. My balls are always dropping, you're right a I do need an assistant. If you are free at the moment then feel free to apply. I'll need to...

It was revealed to me first, I have inside information before many others. Don't be jealous, it isn't a good trait. Yes darling - then just be a bit quicker in typing it out next time then - as its only exclusive if someone hasn't posted it elsewhere before you. I was on the phone with a club insid...

Er no. I have direct contact with Eddie. Try again chump. Good for you but that has been on Twitter for most of the last hour - so not exactly exclusive, chump.

Old Man Andrews

Stranded

Old Man Andrews Just read on Twitter that Veljko Paunović will be at the stadium today.

Corrected for you.

And we don't need to talk about the home form or some of the performances. You can see how well we started under Bowen but seriously tailed off, for a number of reasons. That is barely a 50pt season and that will have factored into this review. The new guy's away form is something else, even by tha...

Why do we need to hear anything from the new manager? I would much rather he was working with the players than talking to a bunch of idiotic supporters. This really - the Portugal trip is clearly about the squad/management team working together without any distraction, so am glad there hasn't been ...

I wouldn't call it shambolic, more an owner committed to taking the club where he wants it to be, In the process losing the confidence of the very people he needs on board. Clubs that succeed have an internal structure that's built around football. The owner doesn't appear to understand the relatio...

Well, if Reading are in or around the bottom 3 at the end of November then I’m sure we’ll all be welcoming Quinton Fortune or Eddie Niedzwiecki as caretaker while the next European unknown is being lined up. And to help the club on its way 3 of Reading’s first 4 league games are away at Derby, away...

Seems to be a very highly rated prospect. Why are we getting him?? As Hound said, Kia. We appear to be going down a similar line to Wolves and having an agent help us attract talent that we would normally have no chance of getting in, they either help us get promoted on increase in value pretty qui...

Well he is definitely in Portugal, in Faro which is either where or near where the players are, so possible.

Fairly highly rated by all accounts, wanted by both the Old Firm clubs in recent times. Is a right winger.

From what I understand of the FFP rule change, doesn’t it just effectively delay shit hitting the fan for us by a year? So if we spend big and go up, great. Spend big and fail and our points deduction would be after we release 20/21 accounts, which would be spring 2022. Essentially yes but that sti...

Have you deducted all the allowances ? The FFP figure is not the same as the P&L Where do we find these? Capital items such as the training ground costs I would have thought would not been in the P/L. What do these allowances consist of? thanks There are a number of things- Academy costs, I thi...

I used to be called an RTG on here but losing Bowen could easily set us on a slide to L1 or worse. With Howe also effectively gone it looks like we will be run by agents going forwards. I genuinely hope I am proved wrong but I expect a very tough season ahead and with no one left at the club to exe...

I'd challenge how much is actually him. We only hear about owner decisions on firings, hiring and sales. Loads of that is mundane day to day stuff I'd have expected Howe to have sorted out. Anything that would cost the club the level of money some of the deals fans have had would, at a bare minimum...

NewCorkSeth I reckon a move to work u dear Chris Wilder would be ideal for Meite. He has bags of passion and energy so could see Wilder coaching him up to his max potential.

Honestly, for the right sum of money - this feels like a good deal for all at probably the right time.

Hound Wycombe apparently

Interesting - Wycombe seem to be scouring the Scottish market for players - could be an interesting and cheap way to improve their squad.

2 years left on his deal so going nowhere this window unless we get a silly bid - think you are looking at 10m+ before we would even consider it. If we are going 3-5-1-1 or 3-5-2 this seaon, there is absolutely a question about where he fits in to that and if we can get 10m for him then it does give...

Or kept ticket prices rock bottom, gave away Ifollow for free to season ticket holders if they wanted after lockdown, spent money on the team, subsidised 1871 at the expense of away ticket sales etc He’s screwed up with some of the hirings but certainly he isn’t all bad I'd challenge how much is ac...

Wouldn't say Hoffenheim are hated as they are pretty non-descript.
