Royal_jimmy How do you know that they are rich though? I doubt they're any richer than Madejski was in his prime.

They must be rich, they own a football club.

Norfolk Royal Reading and the Thames Valley area is hardly impoverished. Sandbanks is a tiny area near Bournemouth and has no real relevance.
However, if you're looking for wild punts, then why doesn't one of the richest, if not the richest companies in the world which has its UK head office in Reading (ie Microsoft) take any active interest in the town's football club?

Microsoft are winners in the Global players market, Reading fc are just another average championship club with no real ambition of getting anywhere near the top

This is actually interesting, doesn't seem to happen much in the UK, walkers were well known for their association with Leicester. In Germany its quite common, BAYER Leverkusen, VW have been Wolfsburg's sponsor for ever, Ford and now laterally RWE with Cologne. It's a shame local businesses in Reading with a worldwide profile have never been interested.

First season, We didn't need to and signing big name players may have wobbled the ship.Royal_jimmy I'm referring to when we were a premier league club.

Bayer Leverkusen don't have Bayer in their name because they are sponsored by Bayer. They are really the (rather more successful) equivalent of Vauxhall Motors FC, being original the works team of the company.
Wolfsburg are the same, being originally the Volkswagen work side.
There's also something of a difference between a multinational which happens to have an office in a town, and a multinational from a town, with its HQ there. The latter is far more likely to be associated with a town.
Royal_jimmy So Bournemouth are going to sign Afobe for £10m.
Why can't Reading pay proper money that players are worth and Bournemouth are an even smaller club than we are. If Bournemouth can find money to buy players then why can't we?
In the prem we wouldn't even pay £5m for a decent player.
Why are we so tight in investing on the right player?
