Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

final day in Segunda coming up on Sunday. Levante already promoted to La Liga. 3 other teams playing for the other automatic spot and all 3 playing teams with nothing to play for. Mirandes playing away to the mighty FC Cartagena. Sincerely hope Racing Club does not disappoint and not even make the ...

Re: Ex Royals

Has Rob/Todd started a Reading Exiles club in New Orleans yet? If they open a Reading FC bar there I'm all up for a trip. New Orleans is meant to be one of the best US cities to visit and was already on my list to tick off. Been there for Mardi Gras twice. Fantastic place with incredible food. If y...

Re: Rival Watch

Huddersfield appoint former Ipswich attacking coach Lee Grant as manager. Bit of an odd one, seeing as he has never been a first team manager before. Has all the playing experience you would want though tbf and sure has a lot of contacts in the game which will help with getting players in on loan o...

Re: Ex Royals

Haha, have actually been to Reading, PA before. Pretty cool place from what I remember(Its essentially a suburb of Philly). And as another poster eluded to above, their way more fans over here I am sure than people realize; key is to find them and as head of the North America Supporter's Group, I am...

Re: Pre Season games 2025/6

Brian Carey is currently in Ireland organising an Ireland pre season tour. It won’t be US this season. Yeah as I said quite sure some other things were somewhat already in the works and that is fine. Do think a USA preseason tour will be done at some point mind. Bloody expensive travel compared to ...

Re: Who do you want in the first home and away games?

I think it would be interesting to go against one of the ones relegated to see how well we can match up with them. Saying that, I will go away to Luton.

First home game, will just predict home to Peterborough haha.

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

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

Very promising start.


Agreed. Pereira is a very good GK for this level and need him to sign ASAP as well.

Re: Champions League, Europa League & Europa Conference League 24/25

I turned it off after 20 minutes tbh. Absolutely horrendous display of football and based on comments here and other places I read, it didn't get any better haha.

Quite obviously clear while they two are so far down the PL table.

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

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...

Re: Rob Couhig - New Interview

There was an interview that Couhig did with a podcast where he specifically said that Dellor was just repeating whatever the club fed him. The problem is as a journalist in this sort of situation, he shouldn't be taking the clubs word for it without referencing that the club or the person has told ...

Re: Rob Couhig - New Interview

Succinct responses but full of meaning as well. Couhig is doing all the right things so far and hopefully that continues. I also agree with when he said their is potential for outside investment. We are a good proposition for someone with deep pockets: Big fanbase, good stadium, former Premier Leagu...
