Not overly worried about Wareham, he showed flashes last season but in reality would likely just be a squad player in the long term. If Exeter see him as a starter (perhaps with wages to match/higher than what we were prepared to offer) then I can see why he'd have made that call. WiFI and Craig tho...

Preseason starts this week. Would be good to be able to at least be able to put out a contracted XI by Thursday. Club have just announced Clarke & Ryan re-signing which is a start. Imagine they'll be daily updates this week. Which Clarke would that be again? Presumably not Boyce-Clarke, did Jah...

Met Sir John, back in the day, up the Costa Cafe in Reading Station. Came across as quite a character. Asked him where he was off to and he replied "Up to Liverpool. Without casting aspersions, say no more". I've seen him about but never approached him as I'm awkward in those situations a...

Only real surprise there is Akande being released. But then again, played less and less as the season went on, maybe Hunt wasn't keen on him.

Holzman just didn't seem good enough, sadly.

Fingers crossed those offered contracts sign. See Yids has been offered one!

Christ, a couple of people haven't heard anything for a couple of days and suddenly its curtains?!

Yes, I dont see them not letting us in the playoffs if we finished 6th and the deal has not gone through by the end of the season.

Provided the deal is still 'progressing' of course.

An opportunity for the EFL to reassure the fans, confirm there is a buyer and clarify how far along the deal is, wasted. Still no evidence the “other man” is Robert Platek, leaving only Twitter rumours and copypasta journalism as the source of this name, and we have heard nothing of any progress si...

The club aren't going to name him when he's in exclusivity are they?

Not sure what other 'evidence' is realistic beyond being named in the media.

Disagree. We decided to switch who tactics and therefore who would take the kick. You see it happen in pretty much every game of football involving every team and in most cases it is not being done to waste time. We had no need to waste time at that point as we were giving as good as we got and loo...

The title of this thread might need to be changed to something less positive again. Someone on x has found out that the satisfaction of the charges regarding the shares of the club and Bearwood etc from Couhig and co have been removed from the register. Not really sure what this means for the sale ...

windermereROYAL 3000 noisy Brummie`s and a likely dicking, and a ref that sent off Holzman at Lincoln what`s not to like about this game?

Oh great, that one. Was more annoyed about the blatant pen that wasn't given on Smith than the red card tbf

Actually quite looking forward to this one, Reading do have a habit of turning up against 'better' oppoistion when you least expect it, recent examples being Burnley and Pompey last season. Plus actually don't mind the 12.30pm kick off this time, as means I can get back into town in time for the rug...

Not if they are required to be identifiable to the opposition, which is what I believe the law is intended to deal with. Again, it’s lack of clarity in the law. Us guessing on work arounds when we don’t know what the law is doesn’t help. If the law is ambiguous its not enforceable. If it doesn't sp...

Our best ball-playing central midfielder being injured for the majorty of Hunt's tenure does not help the style of football

I really don't think our attendances are that bad. 11k isn't far below this or last season's average. It's not far off the level we got last time we were here and a lot more than we often got historically at this level. We may have got a lot more relatively ,recently, but that's in a higher divisio...

Don’t think there was likely a fire sale - more just the sale of a couple of our best players. Still think Bindon and Garcia won’t be with us after 3rd Twitter convinced itself that there would be a fire sale, based on nothing - I suspect it was more certain characters trying to wind up people into...

If Smith is out then I'd play Knibbs up top rather than Wareham. Worked ok at Stevenage

Out of interest, what is it about the early kick off you don't like? Back in the day - I loved the couple of hours I'd have with my mates in the Nags before the bus took us to the game. But one by one they all 'got busy' and didn't have time for it - so I started driving up myself. Today a lunch ti...

Yes, we certainly do seem to be being funded by someone at the moment (and we all know who that isn't!).
Does suggest that something is in the works, but refusing to get my hopes up just yet.
