Forbury Lion

WestYorksRoyal Hopefully there is a next season.

Yeah, this.
Magic number then being the number of days the club needs to survive to have another season?

I've said elsewhere, but I'd call it a 4 and a half week countdown for exclusivity or bust.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If we're no closer to a takeover come the end of the season and comfortably safe, I'd love to see the Blackpool game disrupted, good chance they'll be in a fight for a play-off place so might even be on TV, would be a chaotic situation for the EFL to have to deal with and to be relegated they'd lit...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The last 2 tweets from the club have been another reminder about the mini season tickets, along with the fan store being open over Easter. I appreciate this is just marketing, but it’s the usual rinse repeat comms/process whenever we’re supposedly close to exclusivity. I am just waiting for the tal...

Re: Have your go at being ITK

I was speaking to my work contacts at HMRC and they've said we paid the tax on time this month. They were able to tell me this because HMRC lets all members of staff no matter which team they work in have a look at any taxpayers records, at any time they want. My contacts in DCMS told me Reading ar...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I think most of us are expecting any sale to be "dodgy" in some way at best, or complete fraud at worst. The guy has no intention of letting go if he can help it, so if he can flog it to a connection and keep some form of control or exert pressure to get money back down the way, that is l...

Re: England - the future....

:roll: In this case, who would be your four CB’s you’d choose instead? 1. John Stones 2. Not Maguire 3. Not Maguire 4. Not Maguire Problem is that in the last few years when Maguire's not really been up to it, nobody else has been given a proper run of games to put forward a claim to the place. Can...

Forbury Lion Hopefully next season the magic number will be linked to staying in the promotion/playoff spots rather than avoiding relegation

Hopefully there is a next season.

Yeah, this.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'm also bemused as to how Wycombe could make it work financially, it's worth 3 times as much as the club. Given the limitations on use. I wonder if they planned to rent it out as event space in the summer. Certainly under UEFA FFP rules money spent on infrastructure, youth development or training ...

Re: Selles In

Great stuff. I do worry that we are not as far from the relegation places as the article suggests, especially with any more points deductions. But the article gives me confidence we can survive on merit. I was at the Cambridge game, it was very impressive. OTOH if we do survive, the thousands of di...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

genome Thanks both!

No news is good news. Or bad news.

Definitely bad news.

The clock is ticking.

I think we've got about 5 weeks left for exclusivity to be signed before it's too late to save us and so pointless.

Re: Selles In

Any between losing to Fleetwood and the wins against Wycombe and Carlisle week fair game in my view. Even after those 2 we lost to Eastbourne and Barnsley. But you'll find some crackers from September or even August! By Fleetwood we were on a run of P8, W1, D1, L6. That's quite a generous start poi...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I hope more than anything I am wrong, but I think we’ll get to 2 April with no news. The club will go silent apart from the usual tweets from admin and in the middle of April news will slowly filter out confirming that takeover talks have collapsed. I don’t trust Dai to sell the club. Nigel Howe re...

Re: Selles In

Any manager that had the results that Selles did at the start of the season would be under immense pressure and be facing deserved criticism. Especially one with zero track record of success. Sure, he was dealing with an 'impossible' situation that wasn't his fault - but managers ultimately carry t...
