Fans seem to have delusions of mediocrity on here. Even with new owners, our options will be limited when replacing Selles.

IMO we should have gone up a gear with the protests this match and deliberately got it suspended.

We got some great publicity last week and really needed to push it futher.

RIP the Selles revival: Nov 23 - Dec 23.

Nothing left to say now. We're stuck with him until the takeover but he'll be out the door 5 mins after it's approved.

Yes, fully agree. The protests need to be taken to the homes of the real villains in this piece - Dai Yongge and The EFL. As much as I don’t like the football authorities the EFL aren’t to blame for our situation. This all on Dai and his total ineptitude at running a football club and now he’s just...

I’m open minded on what sort of protest should happen next but can someone in favour of trying to get a match abandoned just outline what this might achieve please. I’m not being flippant just asking a genuine question. It might convince Dai that the longer he holds onto the club the lower the valu...

I was told by a decent source back in September that Dai is behaving as though he's trying to sabotage the deal.

You have to start by giving Eastleigh credit. They're a well organised team with a decent striker - we can't complain about the result. It's another embarrassment that will worsen our confidence and the mood in the dressing room. I assume that Selles is a dead man walking now and it's just a case of...

A go fund me has been set up to pay the staff. Now how does this work. Surely we can’t just give money to the club isn’t that against the rules? https://www.gofundme.com/f/37j3jlh920?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer I understand that this is helping...

Brace yourself for some bad news guys.......

Snowflake Royal Really liking the way Azeez is trying to pick specific players out rather than hitting and hoping.

Other than his shooting he’s been electric

Azeez's electric...

Lets be honest here - if we start winning games then fans will forget all about the fact that they wanted him out.

Fan's memories never last more than the last 5 games.

I'm surprised by how happy I am with this win. It actually feels like a turning point - hopefully with the takeover to come.

I mean: Say a player signs a 5 year contract but in their second season something just goes wrong where they're no longer performing. Maybe they're out drinking too much, or getting involved with dodgy (but not illegal) stuff . . . or maybe their form just generally goes down the toilet. The manager...

I agree we don't know what's going on. But EFL clubs at least should have standard break clauses in contracts that say if you, for example, don't start a single first team/U23 game in a calendar year then you can be released from your contract with a standard payout. If it's for medical reasons then...

Once there's an independent regulator maybe they can introduce a standard contract template that stops this crap. If you're not demonstrating commitment to the team then you can be fired. Same as any other job.

Another 300 standing tickets made available. Looks like they will go on general sale to season ticket holders.

Makes sense that Ashely would wait until Black Friday to buy the club. . . . .

Doesn't look like they're selling as quickly as expected. Maybe trains and tv coverage is reducing demand.

For those of you that are getting impatient, here's a nice bit of fiction to keep you calm. Imagine a corner flag. . . . . . . "The club can confirm today that Mike Ashley has completed a takeover of Reading FC after receiving approval from the EFL. He will become club Chairman. Following the t...
