This can't seriously be true??

This is likely to play a big part in our budget, parachute payments to be increased from next season hopefully.

Not playing a team from Wales

My thoughts are that Norwich don't play good football

El Diablo Robson Kanu - Done a job when picked, started to look the player I'd hoped he'd be, scored goals both in the Prem and for Wales - I hope we can keep him for the Champ next season. Well played son.

Jay Tabb on talksport at the moment, he thought sacking Brian was an odd decision. Owner and DoF told him he wouldn't be offered a new deal.
He seems to think there might be an opportunity to impress the new manager and hopes to train with Reading over the summer

This okay?

That looks immense, full hoops maybe?

Hi TTC, nice post - welcome to the board although I don't agree re Hammond, you've made an interesting suggestion Thanks Whiskey for the welcome. :)' The reason I think Hammond should go is that he should have known the need to invest in quality premiership proven players in the summer- After all h...

I see McCarthy is back in training, enough time to get into the team on Sat?

Royal Lady Papers don't have a clue - I hate it when they just specul8 and people take it as gospel.

Advocat would be gr8 though!

I don't know much about Advocaat, other than he was turd at Rangers, what's he done that's so special? - not a dig, I genuinely don't know

Hello all. I'm a new user of hobnob, But have been a devoted Royal for 20 years now. Tough decision on who the new Manager should be, I'm very much against having Di Canio though. So many reasons not to want him, but the main reason being is he's ex Manager of one of Sw***on That's nearly as bad as...

I would be surprised if a new manager was put in place before the end of the season, as mentioned AZ is alledged to like the playing style of the academy. I think if there is an improvement in our performances (which shouldnt be difficult) he will be given the job.

Jobi has also left some comments on the OS, a nice message all round

AZ for manager would be sweet revenge for BM, real players, crossing the real white line, playing real football, for real points!

Cheers Brian & Nigel - i'll never forget the run we went on last season to win the championship or the play-off final.
I hope you find a decent club that will appreciate your efforts
