Where's Madejski?

I see in todays Observer that Reading are listed as the fourth most financially stable team in the division. SJM probably opening a bottle of still water to celebrate

And then re-closing it so he can claim a full refund.

Oh, and Oxf*rd off newbie.

[Sir Dodger Royal]

Sorry Boys those are the facts. Steve Coppell £1.15 million. New Manager < than £200K. Just shows what a complete lack of ambition and the Madman looking to run the Club into the ground.

If we are in such a good financial position then it shows the Madman is caught lieing again when he says we have no money.

You know he is a ****. It makes no senseeeeeeeeee. Going down with the Wycombes.

Don't argue with Dodger. SDR always spot on as usual.

[Dirk Gently]

We're not in a good financial position - no-one has ever said we are.

[Ian Royal]

I'll do it for however much McDermott's on - I bet he hasn't won us 5 European Cups on Football Manager, which is frankly more impressive than having managed Slough Town for a bit in real life.

Screw that, I'll do it for £60k a year.

I suspect your average GCSE economics student would be able to explain the difference between being financially stable and having lots of spare cash.

Ask WSF if any of his school chums can run you through it....

[Sir Dodger Royal]

Simple economics is about investing for the future. Cost cutting when taken too far has a detrimental effect on running a business.

The Madman has taken it too far hence why the current product range is in the bargain basement awaiting closure.

Real Facts from the main mannnnnnnnnn

Would it be better investment if he plowed another 3 or 4 million into the club, we still got relegated (because staying up isn't based solely on spending) and then went into administration? Unless of course Madejsky ploughed yet more of his hard earned millions into keeping us affloat after that.

That's half the reason we are where we are and he was gonna sign for a lot less until the parking lot crew turned up and he used the chance to get an even bigger deal....

[Arch]

That's it. Let's pay the manager and a handful of the players a seven-figure salary each to get us relegated.

[Sun Tzu]

How did that work SKDD ?

When we got relegated Coppell had ayear to run on his contract but considered resigning. He decided to see out his deal, he was in no position to demand higher wages was he ?

Certainly sounds like BS.

[RoyalBlue]

To bring some clarification, Hammond said Coppell's words to him after we were relegated were:

'Nick, I want to stay and I feel I have let people down'

This was said at a meeting they had at Hogwood Park the morning after we were relegated.

[Sun Tzu]

Do I also recall a comment that the management team had taken something like a 40% wage cut when we were relegated ?

May not be true but frankly it's as likely to be the case as any of the other nonsense we post as 'facts'.

I think it was actually the wages as a whole were cut by 40%

Well I hope that both Grapefeeder Hammond and Clueless Howe's wages were cut by substantially more...if their pay was performance based theyd owe the club!

Depends on how you measure performance....

They are both pretty well in credit over the last decade aren't they ?

Its obvious that they are both notional roles with job labels , as Egoman calls all the shots, so they just feed him the grapes and lick his arse...so in that respect you are right , they are both well in credit!

cant have it both ways- if JM is so tight, and obsessed with keping his millions, why does he employ two people on high wages to do oxf*rd all
