Not a true Reading fan by the sounds of it. Just a plastic glory hunter.
blueroyals Time to get rid of them
Sums JM up perfectly and couldn't have put it better myself, well done you.

Vision LOL @ having a pop at Madejski for giving a straight answer to a straight question and also accusing him of spin.
Basically (and it's always the same people) if he says what you want to hear it's ok but if he doesn't, it's spin.
Stam's not an idiot. He knows who runs this club, who appointed him and who will ultimately decide his future. I doubt he gives a toss about the ramblings of a former owner who has no say in the club any more and in truth hasn't for some time.

I'm with Vision on this one.

sandman The only abject failure are these owners who purposefully undermined the previous manager at every turn and plotted behind his back to bring someone else in whilst he was still in the job. They talk about honour yet they've showed they have about as much honour as they have money, not a lot. They are a prime example of how football has changed.
Sir John actually had a bit of backbone, he's been lied to by two ownership groups now and the legacy he built Reading Football Club to be has been tarnished by Zingarevich and the Thai's. No wonder he's angry and upset, he's probably just as angry at himself for being conned twice.

This is Reading's support in 2016 summed up. Absolutely pathetic comments.
In order to get his ego massaged he needed to be adored by the fans and for that to happen he did invest some of his own funds, plus he was local and there was nobody else willing to buy the club, invest in a new stadium and keep it running well when other clubs were folding.poohs pure Hopefully JM is on his way out of the door.

Nigel Howe admits he was left stunned by Sir John Madejski’s ‘remarkable’ comments during Jaap Stam’s press conference on Monday.
Having welcomed the Dutchman to Reading, Madejski decided to take the opportunity to criticise the club’s owners' decision to fire previous boss Brian McDermott after just six months in charge.
He said: “I wish that Brian had been given a bit longer but the shareholders decided it was time for a change.
“I respect the shareholders’ decision even though I didn’t agree with the decision that Brian shouldn’t have stayed longer."
The co-chairman’s awkward comments came while he was sitting just inches away from shareholder Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth, who owns 25 per cent of the club along with Sasima Srivikorn and Narin Niruttinanon.
Sitting on the other side of Thanakarnjanasuth was Howe, who was clearly unimpressed by the timing of Madejski's outburst.
“I thought that was a remarkable statement - even by Sir John’s standards,” Reading’s chief executive told BBC Radio Berkshire.
“But Sir John we know has a tendency to be a bit off the wall at times.
“I think probably because he wasn’t part of the selection process, because as we know he’s not part of the running of the club on an active basis anymore, he probably felt he wanted to vent himself and he was given a platform to do so.
“I would have hoped he would have picked a different forum to do that.”

Thats the same Sir John who sold the club to a skint Russian without due dilligence which nearly saw us go bust, and then sold the club to the same "abject failure owners" who cleared the debt that Sir John had helped to create!
How has he been conned, he got exactly what he wanted out of the Thai deal, his money back and a nice little penthouse at the top of the Madstad without any of the stress of owning and running a Championship club, that still incidently is named after him, I bet he feels really conned with that sort of deal.

Have I stumbled on a competition to write the most ridiculous, unfounded pair of posts on HNA ? You two should be writing leaflets for the two referendum cabals with the ability to pen rubbish like that !
