Re: Ex Royals

Weird how someone can crash a very fast car with no one else around in normal driving conditions on a straight road and we don't here a peep about a conviction for careless / reckless driving. You should probably raise that with the Essex Constabulary if you're that worried about it mate. Just an o...

Re: Ex Royals

*GOOD NEWS ALERT* Michail Antonio back on the pitch already (85th minute sub for Jamaica last night). Fantastic news. I can remember quite clearly hearing about it, seeing the photos of his car and thinking he may well not survive. To see him back playing again is great and I hope West Ham give him...

Re: Confimred - Paudie O’Connor

I'm lost. Is Mbengue joining a new club? The speculation has been that Mbengue will reject us in favour of somebody higher up the league. Ian is suggesting he won't make it through a medical, should he try to go down that route. All of which is, of course, speculation... Oh ok. I was replying to so...

Fair chance he won’t get through a medical if that is the case surely.


Why would Mbengue have a medical?

All players have a medical signing to a new club.

Re: Confimred - Paudie O’Connor

Does this suggest Strickland won't be moving to first choice..... Which saddens me..... Or that Mbengue is defo off. Mbengue played the final third of the season with a heavily strapped knee, and if you watched him in the prep for corners he was constantly stretching his knee out and rubbing it. I ...

TiagoIlori If we’re promoted from league one and he’s playing for us regularly, then I think everyone’s a winner.

I've seen some complaining that he should be joining a Championship side.

Re: Conflict of interests, the Hunt's

looks like Paudie O'Connor is coming in, and Matty Jacobs both of which have Stephen Hunt as their agent. Is it healthy to have a football agent as the brother of our manager?

Re: Jamie Gittens to Arsenal - are we entitled to compensation?

We are entitled to compensation but its not based on transfer fee. It's a fixed fee for costs of training a player. Something along the lines of €75,000 for each year in a cat 1 academy. https://www.easportslaw.com/news/training-compensation-and-solidarity-mechanism#:~:text=The%20basic%20principle%2...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

Bearwood open day is a cracking bit of PR there. Will cost the club relatively little but it's something I'd imagine a lot of fans would love to do. Cost? 7k visitors spread throughout the day, charge them for parking, sell them some burgers, sell them some new kits for next season, sell them some ...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

I assumed that giving money as a load was to comply with FFP rules, but I can't see it in the regulations (although maybe I just don't understand the language). So, presumably, giving money as a loan to the club makes it easier to recoup it if the club becomes very profitable - perhaps it's more ta...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

The club shouldn't owe Couhig the Sale Price. He bought the shares from Dai for £25m. Depending on his actions and the success of the club the value of those shares will increase in value (or not) but buying those shares should not have created a debt to Couhig. The £25m that Couhig paid Dai is a r...

Re: Rob Couhig - New Interview

Tim Dellor is a BBC presenter not a producer. He interviews who is put in front of him. It's not his job to go looking for interviews and do investigative journalism. It's a producers job to do that. So if people are looking to criticise, I'm not entirely sure why people are, who cares where intervi...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

So how does debt transfer work? Couhig has paid dai 90mill on top of the sale price? So he has just bought reading fc for the equivalent price of 115 million? And then he’s just going to sit on that debt for the next ‘x’ amount of years without cashing it in? That would seem a very odd business dea...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

Maybe I am being thick/pedantic, but they might now own the 'debt', but it might still sit with a 3rd party institution - otherwise what has happened to the £90M that was in the latest figures...? The 90m debt is still an RFC debt. It was owed to Mr Dai. He sold that debt to Mr Couhig. Mr Couhig is...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

All the clubs debts are the clubs debts. Some are to the owners, some are to suppliers. In the interview he says they are dealing with the suppliers debts now, and won't seek repayment of the debt owed to them, the owners. So if you think he tells the truth, those are facts. But the question was ‘i...

Re: OFFISHAL CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

Is that confirmed? None of the tens of millions of debts accrued by the previous regime are owned to external/third parties... It's all been picked up by the new owners and is owed to them - so is only an issue when they come to sell - but they control what they do with it? Just so I am clear what ...

Couhig contradicted himself when he said he wants to keep cat 1 but also said Brentford and Wycombe can bring good young players into their first team squad without an academy.
