Of course. After the club folds in September the ground and training ground will be sold for housing to pay our debts too the HMRC. We will reform as AFC Reading in the 7th tier Thames Valley League playing Ascot and Windsor. We will ground share with Maidenhead until a new site can be found to bui...
I'm confused. On the one hand, I'm hearing that the aim is to get an owner in who will run the club sustainably... On the other hand, people want new signings and to challenge for honours... Which is it? Given where the club is at and the finances in the EFL, wanting both seems like cakeism... It's...
Over-rated: probably controversial, but I never understood the Phil Parkinson thing - he did a lot of symbolic stuff, ran out towards the East stand and put in a thumping challenge in the first 5 mins to show hes the alpha male - but otherwise a very ordinary midfielder and not a patch on Mick Goodi...
Ever get the feeling the FL are going out of their way to screw the club over... https://therealefl.co.uk/2023/06/18/miserable-weekend-deals-double-blow-to-reading/ In addition other media reports suggest Karl Robinson has rejected the chance to take over. That site states that we've been handed a ...
Wow..... This is all a bit like Brexit.... We are hundreds of millions of pounds in debt and the owner need to find a few million a month just to keep the club afloat.

Some questions: So 'play when fit' can be a loan requirement to ensure parent club pays their share? Explains Hendrick situation... Also, does that mean that PINCE/whoever picked the team knowingly put the club in future jeopardy based on 1st team selection or are they just arguing over the validity...
I'm not melting down - I agree that the instant reactions of people with limited knowledge of things is draining - I just found this bit intriguing "As a club, financially we continue to face a number of significant challenges and our owner, Mr Dai, is working very hard to resolve those issues ...
Sympathetic to Bowen, but if seemingly the entire operation of a multi-million pound company employing nearly 400 people rests on one individual then that's a massive problem. A pub shuts if the landlord suffers a bereavement, a corner shop or fish and chip shop maybe, but a professional football c...
Did confirm that Bowen is out on compassionate leave which had been mooted on Twitter but first confirmation from someone with known sources at the club. ok, fair cop, he did state that he is on compassionate leave - but didn't another journalist put that out there yesterday? In terms of tangibles,...
All will be revealed tomorrow at 830 on BBC Berks - Dellor is giving an update :D well, that was embarrassing literally nothing but baseless speculation Did confirm that Bowen is out on compassionate leave which had been mooted on Twitter but first confirmation from someone with known sources at th...
