Sutekh Chronicle list of the players that arrived under the previous ownership

Not sure of the accuracy of this.

No way Matt Carson played 172 games for us.

Good friends with Pereira too so hopefully this will also help with that negotiation.

Very promising start.

Am i being stupid but how can we be losing 1000-£1000 per month running a football club ? STAR statement has some context https://star-reading.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/club_accounts_2223.pdf That covers the current situation also O'Dell also needs to go. He is a Howe man. Clear the lot of the...

Thought we'd have this poll to remind ourselves how dire the past 8 years have been. Perhaps we can pin it so that if we moan about an uninspiring result against Doncaster, we can remind ourselves how much worse it could be. Struggling with specific moments from the earlier years; I toyed with Clem...

Theoretical... you're Rob Couhig and you successfully buy Reading FC. Reading miss the POs, Hull get relegated and sack Selles. Selles was in charge when you originally tried to buy the club... would you try to bring him back, stick with Hunt, try to bring in a statement quality manager, or go bats...

Dai clearing out aside, where do we think this big clear out will come? The playing squad is bare bones really and will lose some of the out of contract players plus we’ve already had a number of cost cutting initiatives in the last couple of years. The only thing left that would make a significant...

Not sure about the £6 million number, but the 1871 podcast reported someone inside the club had said it was last minute dropping off the price by Couhig that made Dai pull out. They may have been right, they may have been wrong, neither you nor I will know, but they are / were at least a credible s...

Is Akande injured?

He's raw and in any logical circumstance "not ready" but needs must. He does however possess explosive pace which could work from the bench especially on a day like today when we're creating nothing else.

Edit. Lol Hound.

15k home fans isn’t to be sniffed at is it?

Regular Saturday at 3 would make this 17k plus. Perfectly ok I’d have thought

I watched the Couhig interview which was posted on here somewhere, He addressed the speculation about the academy and more or less said it has to pay for itself, Now he is a businessman so he'll be looking at a longer term payoff rather than breaking even every season but he did say the Michael Oli...

In very simplistic terms, I’d say he has a fair shout to say if he’d taken over the club, it would have had an excellent chance of being a champ club next season and hence worth double the price he signed up for Difficult to argue that one imo Especially if his brief successfully quoted the legal p...

Genuinely shocking news this. Probably the person I interacted most with on here.

So sorry for your loss CR.

Would imagine Brian Carey played a massive role. It was all down to Carey. He has a very good rep out there. Bowen certainly seemed to be some part of the original signings - but does seem Carey has been involved throughout Obvs those signings of Savage, Elliott and even Perreira may one day bring ...

Substitutions on the hour, you know they're pre-planned and nothing to do with how shit we've been.

Lol 1-2

Snowflake Royal We just can't cope if you actually mark us tightly. A lesson it would be nice if we learnt rather than always starting 10 yards off our man when defending, ourselves.

Thats the area we miss Elliot's ability to wriggle out of tight spots to create space.

Sutekh Norwood credited with an assist for both

Not sure how unless he somehow managed to head his own corner for the first goal.

Personally, I'd be more confident of Forest NOT making CL than Liverpool winning the title. Liverpool have been brilliant for large parts of the 1st half of the season, whereas Arsenal have been rather underwhelming - yet they sit only 4 points behind, are (maybe) about to sign a much-needed strike...

I posted his stats elsewhere, but Doyle basically did this. 4 seasons that coincide with our best, kept in on for one season post-relegation and then goes for big money. Solid career thereafter but nothing as great as his time here. Slight tangent but for managers, going to go Pardew. The sense of ...

John salako my recollection of the John Salako story was that while on loan he was amazing - so much so that Pardew did a data-driven PowerPoint presentation for the Board (before such things became mainstream) to convince them to sign him permanently - with all sorts of Opta style data points (bef...
