Its the modern way, a word salad that is in decipherable....

This is not to dismiss the claims of any other clubs currently at L1 level, but....

The financial footprint of Reading FC which requires a net spend of ~£10M per season just to stay afloat means we are too big for L1. ..

QED, we're too big for League 1...

Sneak into the play offs with a late run - win the semi finals commandingly and onto Wembley... The morning of the L1 PO final, Dogwood Holdings announce a deal in Principle to sell the Club to a Group that also owns an NFL franchise who want to deliver European football and have a 10 year plan to g...

Chronicle headline says investors have approached the club with a view to buying. No further details. Presumably if there’s a profit in it the current owners woukd be interested in selling. But how has value been added such that someone who wasn’t interested a short while ago now fancies paying mor...

Sounds like his head might be in the same place that Michail Antonio's was when he went on loan from us to Sheffield Wednesday - desperate to play and make an impression, so dropping down a couple of divisions to somewhere he knows he can get good game and hopefully contribute to a team looking for...

Just thinking about it, think Ritchie had one of his better performances. Works well cutting in onto his right foot to whip an inswinger to the far post, while Roberts can boom outside and whip an outswinger. But he’s definitely a sub, not a starter. If the Internet is to be believed, Richie is our...

Absolutely detest that stupid cr@ppy drivel national radio programme that slam dunks itself across all the BBC local radio stations and wrecks the local post/pre match coverage as it doesn’t take into account different kick off time that clubs might have. :evil: yup, it’s sh1t, meanwhile talking BB...

Does anyone have any clue as to when Andy Rinomhota is going to be playing in the first team? Has he eloped with JJ? Seems a bit odd for a cash strapped club to sign a player, have him play 10 mins and then dissappear... (Notwithstanding his personal issue - I've got no idea about that - lack of co...

They mention they were expecting bigger attendances. I think they didn’t realise just how battered and bruised the fan base was after all the shit we’ve had to deal with. Compound that with shooting his mouth off - over promising and underdelivering in the transfer market - that didn’t help. If we ...

So for absolute clarity - 'we put in £1M almost every month' means the club is losing around £12M/annum at the current rate of income vs expenditure... Please correct me if I have misinterpreted the statement[/quote] That's how I interpret that statement. Worth noting our previous accounts (2023-24)...

Reading FC owner Rob Couhig has revealed that the shareholders have been paying £1 million nearly every month to bolster the club. After a busy start to the January transfer window, and with Reading FC making a permanent signing in the winter transfer window for the first time in years, the Royals ...

deleted my post as the 2004 date doesn't equate to 24, but 2002 - so my premise didnt make sense

Just don't tell him about the methane quietly percolating through the foundations of the Mad Stad....

I think the windmill next to the Mad Stad might just save us....

Apparently, the plan is to fix the end of season vote so that Trump gets both Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season awards... Oh and every golden gamble and Papa john's Pizza from now til the end of the season... but even then, he will likely throw RC, TT and Reading FC under a bus... ...

It's getting tiresome hearing that our supposed 'best' players when combined in midfield are routinely being overrun in game after game...

Bite the bullet Leam and change it up...

I miss the King Of Thailand's birthday celebrations at the Mad Stad...

Cardiff City given a transfer embargo by EFL for non-submission of 24/25 accounts by the 31 December deadline. This means Cardiff cannot sign any players during the current window until they send in the figures. So have Reading done theirs yet then given Cardiff haven’t and have been accordingly do...

Of course you go for promotion - it's been the new owners' explicitly objective from the start of the season. Staying in League 1 costs them £10M a year... The costs of the Championship might be higher, but the rewards are greater also and the possibility of flipping the club if they want to... They...
