WIth the window now closed, I think it's fair to say 'The boys did pretty good!'

Yes, much superior to the summer and therefore hopeful for the future windows. Probably the best since before those before you know who arrived.

The Israeli guy (or the one that owns an Israeli club anyway) is out in terms of shareholding:
Ross Kestin to Continue on Royals Board After Shareholding Change Reading Football Club can confirm that Ross Kestin has sold his shareholding in Dogwood Football LLC to Rob Couhig, Todd Trosclair and Rick Catania.

The transaction was completed amicably, and the Club is delighted to confirm that Ross will remain on the Reading FC Board as a director.

The move enables Ross to focus more time on his footballing interests in Israel, while continuing to offer his business expertise and insight to the Royals’ Board.

Royals Chairman Rob Couhig said: “As we keep moving Reading Football Club forward, it’s important that we retain strong, experienced voices around the table. This was an amicable transaction, and we’re delighted that Ross will continue as a director, offering valuable insight and support as we build for the long term.”

Think he was involved with Aliya Capital Partners.

Haven't heard anything from him since he was announced tbh, so don't know how much he actually provided to us.

He continues on the board though.
