A 6-0 away drubbing and a song aimed in my direction. It's not often a song is directed at one of your own fans, but it happened to me.

"We've got a Taffy in our end."

Queue insults...

*wipes eyes* We didn't re-sign Bas Savage? Bollicks... *goes back to sleep*

Sarah Star If you went down there is there any guarantee they would

a, let you into the training ground?

b, let you see anything?

None, maybe, some, lots, definitely.

No Madejski no Reading FC its that simple :roll: . Mr Mad might want us to think that - and plenty are apparently happy to go along with it - but that's just not true. RFC managed well over 100 years without him, and it will still be around when he's long gone. I take it you would have been happier...

Thaumagurist* Udates?

Plays for Portsmouth. John Udates.

Streets No problem!

(but those links are giving us updates on all transfers - that's pretty general)

At ease.

Hmm...for up to the minute news, the last place I'd go is there!

Your argument seems to hinge on the opinion that JM wants to sell the club to simply get rid because it is an inconvenience rather than to place it in the hands of someone more willing to inject from their personal fortune, which is what he has always said. He has always maintained he wants to sell...

Good post, Balti, but in JM's defence he's done a tiring, time-consuming and often thankless job for twenty years and he'd like to retire from it. The only way to do that is effectively to sell the club. It's that or let other people squander his money. He's a rich man who really doesn't need the h...

If it were me, I think I would be more in shock than any other feeling that would cause me to boo JM. What does irk me however is that it all seems a bit 'Boris Johnson'. In slightly bad taste and hypocritical. This is the man, remember, that would sell this club tomorrow....yet yesterday, he's happ...

Although I was a bit miffed about the statement "needing to sell players, before spending" as I too assumed it would be sell for 5 million, spend 5 million.. but really people on here need to stop playing Football Manager and listen to the sensible people explain business.. And all this t...

It's often said you learn more from defeats than victories, I can believe it's true. Just what does SC learn from our defeats (not just Saturday, but last year also) - absolutely nothing, so it seems - not nowadays. As Huntley says, no player seems to be accountable for their errors as they are almo...

The fact he didn't act last year will forever stay in some people's memory sadly - we KNOW he's a thinker, we KNOW his style, why expect it to change all of a sudden? Maybe when it's not actually working would be a bit of a hint to me. Just throwing it out there... :roll: You can't just keep hittin...

You have to say that, on paper, our quartet of strikers looks impressive for this level but they were probably our most disappointing part of the team on Saturday. But it's not quite as simple as that - perhaps it was their awareness of strikers with the reputation of Doyle and Lita that meant the ...

Platypuss
Oy - that's © me.

Jay IS Indecisive Dave, though.

Ah, but is he indecisive or just not sure?

I think it'll all depend on this season, Madejski was talking about selling up last season, so, if we get into the PL will he try again?? If not, I think he'll have to start releasing money for transfers (if thats the reason we're not buying) and give 100% of sales straight to the manager, if we're...

Any ideas how much a week we're saving alone on Bennett, Brown, Stack, Halls, Oster, Fae (presuming Nice are paying his wages), Little, Kitson, Shorey not being on the payroll? Noel Hunt must be on a packet! There is money for wages, right there. Are other clubs doing it all wrong and we're doing it...

Happy to be the saviour, but un-willing to make us a force. He said almost exactly that himself on many occasions in the last 2 years. Just another toy? Take a look at yourself, that's just inexcusable from someone with a brain. Really? Show me where...and besides, he really should talk to his empl...

Madejski bottled it when he knew we could get into Europe, but at a cost. Happy to be the saviour, but un-willing to make us a force.

We are just another toy for him.

If there are no left backs, for example, available to us within our price range and wage structure, I'd venture any other manager in Coppell's position would also be unable to purchase the player/s he wants. Still begs the question however, if Coppell has refused to spend all the many millions prev...
