Shame we didn't get Beer...

Hunt must be a chairman's dream - his interviews sound plausible, but you come away none the wiser.... I've listened three times and whilst it seems that there's an issue, possibly from the Knibbs side?... He is stilll 'one of us', so may be available for Lincoln, I couldn't guarantee that's what h...

Have the latest wages been paid with HMRC etc?

If only there was a middle ground. You can't tell fans it's going to be a spectacular transfer window then blame them for having unrealistic expectations. I think you can blame people for not just rolling their eyes and ignoring obvious American hyperbolic bullshit. They’d have gotten away with it ...

both of which contradict the general theme of "only spending what we earn"....

RC: ‘A very very good team on day one’. Dated 21st July 2025. :roll: This is what is grinding the gears of fans. He just needs to keep his mouth shut. I'll go with: "We will have as much money as all but three or four clubs in the league." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckg...

Likes the sound of his own voice too much for me.... And goes off on random tangents because he wants to rustle up click bait controversy.... E.G.: I didn't go to the Simod Cup evening to hear Mick Tait's views on VAR or on how Adi believes 'modern footballers' are too soft and paid too much... I'm ...

The challenge is how to please all these different stakeholders... RC has stated many times that he wants the club to spend what it earns... If that is to be believed at face value then a structural deficit of around £10Mpa needs to be addressed... This doesn't equate with building a team competing ...

Might just be someone with an axe to grind for some reason. Cloth was accordingly cut at Wycombe and the club hit its most successful period which rather suggests RC knows what he’s doing. Would presume the same will happen here with things being prioritised. They certainly wouldn’t want bad PR or ...

So running Reading FC isn't like running Wycombe Wonderers FC?....

What a shocker...

Based on things that have been said on X apparently we're offering poor wages for players. Not going to attract decent promising talent by doing that. Define 'poor wages'.... Do you mean 'wages that are sustainable'...? Cakeism perhaps? As in other clubs in league one are offering more money Maybe ...

Cakeism perhaps?

So what is the plan this season? Is it to penny pinch our way to safety or to get promoted at the first opportunity (and therefore increase the value of the club?) Have players really visited Bearwood and upped their demands? Has the EFL really been scrutinising everything over this summer's transf...

So the Kelvin E announcement was low key, not really pushed on all social platforms & lacking in details.. I hope that's not a sign of tension, we need the Kelvin E who bangs in screamers Think you’re very much reading a narrative that isn’t there… Prob low key coz they told everyone he was sig...

Cool.

That's 2 out of 3 (Joel, Kelvin - Amadou) staying...

Fingers crossed we get some more firepower also...

Notwithstanding the Knibbs rumour - even if he stays & Kelvin E is confirmed, we have lost a lot of goals since this time last year. If the new owners are serious about making a profit in a short time span (~3 years), then we need at least 2 additional goalscoring forwards IMHO... If we lose the...

Thanks

So who failed the medical?

I thought he was from Bundesliga 2?

Brogue Bowler done in brogue we trust

Can you quickly summarise who is expected through the door?

Cheers
