That's the part of the rumour I didn't hear, so do tell

The rumour was that Mr Downes helped Mr Keane make an unceremonious exit of the premises

And stepping away from a toe to toe with Nick Hammond is more likely?

My comment was quite tongue in cheek as I can quite easily see Wally chucking Keane out of an office. :roll:

Seems more likely than Dillon wearing a tie.

Probably get a fair amount of stick but hey, that's what a website is for isn't it?

A piece on why I'm not panicking yet and if you disagree with me, a chance to vote on when/if Nigel should go.

Agree with all of that. Anyone expecting better than mid table from this current squad are deluded.

Interesting read on FFP in the Championship, and possible transfer embargoes for numerous clubs (potentially us) in January.

Bump...

A familiar face recounts some (not so) fond quarter-final memories.

We're still alive and looking for people who fancy writing a guest column on a Tuesday to step forward. Can really be anything football related though some sort of link to Reading would be nice but not a requirement.

Here's the latest of them, a look at football & mental health.

Been a while.

But thought I'd drop by to flag up our state of Reading series where we're delving into key areas around the club in 2016 like the Academy, transfer strategy, the club's identity and more.

So if that floats your boat you can head here.

I'll take it 8)

Oh and on the subject at hand, if you missed it our 'State of Reading FC' series is worth a go.

Long dead thread but wanted to say cheers to the Nobbers who helped back TTE over the years. I'm standing down over the next couple of weeks and handing it over to someone new to take over.

Support has been much appreciated.

Totally agree Buff, I was wondering the same thing, if something happened to him or he just has other interests

Wimb Dirkers writes a passionate plea for STAR to stand up and be counted.

V late to the thread here but this was my first unread post on the thread and it piqued my interest. Are STAR still going and did they ever comment on this? Or are they strictly apolitical?

Still going, they chipped in with a few articles over the years and we worked with them to try and get more fans on the board.

Ultimately, unless more people join STAR they're always going to be in a weak position as people won't see them as being total;y representative of the fanbase.

IMO they do a good job with the support and mandate they have right now. Sure there are places they could improve but again it's as much down to the wider fanbase to get involved as it is up to a few people on the management team.

IIRC there was a forceful response to this - possibly in the comments section or a counterpoint article. If I've got the right occasion STAR did push Tiger into facing up to a group of fans and showing some necessary leadership.

It might interest Green to know STAR has been criticised by elements of its membership for being too political - regarding our anti-stance on the Checkatrade Trophy. As for "still going" - you cheeky xxx!

Appreciate Wimb's supportive comments above and have welcomed the opportunity from time to time to put our point of view on TTE. In terms of representativeness STAR has one of the highest ratios between membership and home attendance amongst English supporters' trusts. We'd like it to be even higher. We'd like a more active membership. We're pleased to have three new faces on our Board this season. The struggles we face in terms of influence are common in English football.
