Yeah it's a good point, I think there's heaps more examples... weren't Abrefa and Anderson also thought to be ooc in preseason and got options extended, I think. I would expect it to be a routine clause in youth player contracts when they're on edge of the first team. Minimises risk of losing someo...

It’s difficult to know what to believe. Both sides will paint a picture to make the other side look bad. It’s a shame that all parties can’t work together for the good of the club’s employees and fans. Surely, if there’s a serious buyer in place they’d pay off Couhig’s £1m in legal fees, but it migh...

I think we might scrape a 1-0 win.

Almost 4 weeks into exclusivity and no progress. I am starting think IR was right in that exclusivity was conveniently announced at the same time as the current embargo. I hope it’s not all bullshit, but I guess we’ll find out soon if the money runs out. Administration is looking most likely now.

Brogue it's fine, i fully expect the takeover to be done by Christmas and we can forget this even happened.

Yes, but what year?

You just need to have faith in the process

It almost feels like you know something?

I am pretty sure my first away league game was Northampton around April 76. We got thumped 4-1 from memory and I wasn’t happy.

It’s bad as I have no recollection of Mick Hollis. I liked Steve Death, Robin Friday, Gordon Cummings and Gary Peters. Christ my memory is sh!t these days.

LOL at those saying there’s nothing to learn from tonight and it’s only one game. We’re shit away from home and Selles has done fcuk all about it. Our goal difference is poorer because of it and the longer it carries on the more the pressure on home results will be. Oh and look at our next few fixt...

I think I remember us beating Brentford 1-0 at Elm Park right near the end of the season. Did we sign Gary Peters at the start of that season? I was 12 back then and loving going to games with my mates.

I've seen a few comments this season from opposition fans about how we "celebrate like we've won the cup". Let me put that in context: Our owner is slowly strangling the club, we're not allowed to sign any players and outside a core of 10 or 11 players,our squad is bulked out with teenage...

Uke Still reckon that the most likely final purchaser remains Couhig...

Yes I think that too, think the silence from him is just because there is really complex things going on behind the scenes.

I can’t see it personally, but who knows.

Update today from Matt Slater in the Athletic. Looks like Couhig hasn't cut ties entirely. I'll be honest that there is too much going on for me to keep up and understand, and I come across this sort of stuff in my day job. After two straight wins, Reading are up to seventh in League One, their hig...

Someone on x has noticed that a new application has been made to the HM Land Registry today against the SCL, but unsure if it’s related to a potential takeover. Property address: Madejski Stadium, Reading (RG2 0FL) Title number: BK528572 Set out below are details of applications or searches which ar...

In all seriousness, there are big dilemmas none of us can answer as it comes down to choice of the buyer. With Bearwood and the Academy, our cost base is too big for L1. So do you accept short term losses to make us a sustainable Championship club, noting that's an open ended commitment as promotio...

Well that was a game of 2 halves. I’d have loved a draw before the game started so 3 points is immense. A big shout out to Dean too. He calmed it down when he came on and deserves some credit.

Great and bad memories of both tbh. As mentioned above I used to really enjoy midweek evening games stood in the Southbank. Telling Mark McGhee to oxf*rd off was a lot of fun. It was great walking to the game and having a pint in the Pond House or the Spread Eagle. Had some special times at the SCL ...

Just do a compulsory purchase order and buy up some of the slum that is the oxford road. It’s just a load of HMO’s full of grotty one bedroom bedsits for junkies and prostitutes. No one would miss it. We could have bought the old battle hospital site and put it there instead of the Tesco and mosque...

Hopefully, I have copied the link ok. This fella on x seems to know what he’s talking about.

Buyer is from Hong Kong according to Kieran Maguire on BBCRB this morning. He's "not confident" of it going through after "speaking to some senior people in football." If true then Dai is once again wasting time the club doesn't have. I wonder if he’s just going off the rumour s...

Mike Gow (Chinese expert) posting on Twitter that this Kwong fella is a mate of Dai and Pang and has bailed out Dai's companies before. Hopefully this one is a load of bullcrap but it doesn't look like a positive potential change of ownership https://x.com/mikeygow/status/1841198482646057232?t=Xykt...

Let’s be honest there’s little likelihood that anyone involved isn’t a pcunt in some form or another . Dai has been a damaging one but Couhig didn’t really give me any better vibes than Storey or the German bloke. The whole Purple Turtle/Twitter presence always seemed a little “try hard” for me. We...
