Do we know where we're going?

by Gus the teenage cow » 18 Jul 2017 14:14

A profound question I'm sure you'll agree but a pertinent one, and if I be so bold, a necessarily pertinent one...where the f**k are we going under the Chinese? At the moment the voices that speak to me are saying "Play-offs at best" and that's not what we want to hear.

I would like them to formulate a plan and to put it simply rather than tread water I want us to sink or swim

Option 1: Invest big, better to go bankrupt going for the big time than swim in an endlessly mid-table pond or fish-bowl or whatever noun makes this analogy work

Option 2: Be financially savvy, develop local players, accept the fact we'll be relegated but delight in having a squad that were all born within. let's say, 5,000km from Reading city centre. Become a latter-day Crewe Alexandra

.....but I, and I hope I speak for all the fans here, will not tolerate a kind of halfway house neither here not there, purgatory (this means between heaven and hell)

Hi Gus! Welcome back.

I absolutely agree that all Reading players should be born within 5000km of the Club.

But if you had him on ignore, how did you read his post? Or am I confused? (Very likely actually).

Bloody stupid question. I Think the club and board think we are going to do better, otherwise why would anyone be bothering. Ever though about the option where we do better than last year? No - of course not. Another typically negative and dim Reading fan who'd rather slag off the club and team than support them and be optimistic!

Hi Gus!

Where are we going? How about Sailing the Seas of Cheese? I am thinking you would approve since they are dairy products.

And then we'll figure it out once we get to wherever we end up...

Well we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

We're on our way, we're on our way, to the Premier League, we're on our way.

How do we get there I don't know, carried there by Modou Barrow, all I know is Reading's on their way
