New Ownership

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

why? whats happened? have we been bought?

is it branson


hope so that would be tote wick

RFC is still in the ownership of JM, but I heard that there had been a lot of rumours about new owners being spoken to, was all round the guys that work at WBC for a start, so I assumed would be all over here.

Didn't realise the World Boxing Council paid that much attention to us tbh

The yanks are coming.

Americans to you. Bit of respect please.

[rfc2001]

We don't want any yanks near our club. They will ruin it with mismanagement, poor branding, the sacking of McDermott when he loses a game!!

I don't want Russians, Arabs or Japs either.

A German Billionaire who loves football would be a dream. Efficient and effective!!

Americans don't know how to operate clubs that exist in an environment as crazy as that of the English and European FLs. Fact is that owning a club is less of a business and more of a hobby, as Madjeski has stated many times. Until the FLs adopt some sort of sane salary controls, it will always be that way...

i thought mad madejski "the pretend pole" said he would only sell to a billionaire? cutting his losses?

Errrr....

Sir John Madejski is on the verge of selling Reading to a Russian billionaire in a deal that could top £40million.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Think there might be some truth to this

[Friday's Legacy]

new ownership will always be mixed with excitement and concern but if we want to move forwards and have genuine hopes of getting back to and staying in the premiership then it's a must.

john madejski, god love him, has taken us as far as we can go. If we do go up again with him, we'll come crashing back down due to the penny pinching approach and then more years or black holes and readjustments.

i want that excitement and concern. i don't want to just be a safe and sound club that won't really get any where. of course it could wrong, there is that risk of debts and administration etc, but that rarely is the end of the world as we've seen with the likes of palace, portsmouth, leicester etc. we could end up back in league one for a bit but so could we if our safe run club penny pinches in this division.

football's a roller coaster. i wouldn't mind that buzz back around the place.

[Friday's Legacy]

jm makes announcement on OS regarding deal being struck with Thames Sports. jm remains chairman - for now. interesting and big step forward I feel.

Apparently he's worth £330million in Forbes Rich List (not Forbury Lion btw)

[Royal Rother]

That was in 2004...?

I do not like the sound of this at all. A fcuking Russian billionaire owning RFC? No thanks.

Guess I might change my mind when we're up top competing with Man City (HA!) but right now it does not appeal at all.
