Mr Angry I am assuming that all the tax and salary commitments due late November have been met (otherwise there would have been an extra 5 pages on here!).

So SOMEBODY is paying the bills...........

I read Michael Olise is picking up the tab (may have misunderstood this though)

My understanding is that the Smee bid was never credible. But then, no one knows how Dai will react to any bid so at this point so it's all guesswork. By ‘credible’ what are we talking about ? Not a high enough bid to tempt Dai ? Smee is almost certainly going to have a more credible offer than som...

Sutekh Cambridge's Sullay Kaikai to have late fitness test on knee injury sustained v Wigan on Saturday, rated as "touch and go".

Doesn’t sound like a very thorough fitness test

Interesting that someone at the club seems to have leaked this, if he's gone a year with nothing leaking it's unlikely his end, but nothing is leaking about the current 'exclusives' Never underestimate the dark arts of doing business…. I don’t know where the leak is from but just wonder who might b...

Doubt Smee AND SJM would be involved.

I didn’t say he wouldn’t

In fact, you literally did.

Didn’t I say I didn’t think that BOTH would be involved. One or the other, but not both.
Apologies if that was unclear.

I don't see SJM as a leading figure, but I'd be shocked if he didn't contribute to a local rescue package. I didn’t say he wouldn’t I'm not sure how much money he has left for this sort of thing tbh. Smee or SJM would contribute credibility more than cash but has anyone ever seen them in the same r...

Yeah this. So who do we reckon is involved. Smee, SCL lot, Madejski... any former pros/staff? Any other local looney rich folk? Whatisface off WWTBAM? Doubt Smee AND SJM would be involved. Smee won’t be paying £30 million to anyone so he’d need money from elsewhere. He’s definitely interested in ge...

Sounds more credible that he is fronting a consortium. Wonder if the SCL guys might be involved, or would that be a conflict of interest with them being the current shirt/stadium sponsors? I doubt the EFL have massively tight rules on that and as long as they are only paying fair market value then ...

WestYorksRoyal Shame replays are scrapped. Harborough earned the chance to take us back to their den and bully us with a hostile crowd.

They would have fewer fans at a home game than they have here !

Last night West Ham v Arsenal equalled Reading v Manchester United record of seven first half goals in a PL match. Interestingly * neither match saw a second half goal. Portsmouth v Reading 7-4 is still the record for aggregate goals in a Pl match. Other Reading PL records? Doyle early goal at Shef...

Going to the High Court will almost certainly bring out a lot more things we weren't aware of. A lot of the things covered by the NDAs may become public. I don't know whether that will help with the sale going forward or not. I would suggest it will probably scare off any other potential bidders, a...

Tend to side with the less pessimistic view If the sale of Bindon happens then we don’t need to sell anyone else (Dai’s whims permitting). Loan him back and the team stays as is. We don’t know where we are on the sale, there’s no factual basis to assume nothing is happening and I side with the thoug...

I've been wondering where to post this but I was finally getting around to reading an old copy of FourFourTwo this week (Nov 2021 I think) and there was Best/Worst article from a Hearts fan who picked out Pereira as their worst player of all time from a loan period during his time at Man Ure. "...

League Cup is the Milk Cup. End of. I just call it the League Cup. I couldn't even tell you who sponsors it. Yeah, oxf*rd sponsorship. It's the League Cup, FA Cup, League Trophy, etc. Madejski Stadium. Probably would have meant the death of the club 12 months ago…. I’m not in favour of saddling gro...

I don't know if the hierarchy at the club have sinister intentions. From the outside, it looks like they're simply out of their depth. I wouldn’t be surprised if there's at least a couple whose careers, maybe even liberty, are at risk if their part in our obviously very dodgy finances came out. The...

That’s a very common chant. Variation on the Man Utd original and missing a couple of lines but bizarre for anyone who has attended games over the last 20 years to not have heard it…. What tune is it to? I literally cannot work out how it's supposed to sound Sing Hosanna 106 106 Reading fc 106 106 ...

I reckon Smee is financially on par , if not better, than the last band of Americans who tried to buy the club, and with his Business interests no doubt has access to financing / funding.. Smee has a rather chequered financial history. I’d be surprised if he had funds to hand running into millions....

Maybe Smee and SJM joint ticket just to get it out of his hands, make it more financially stable and sell on again. Probably bollocks. I don't really want to hear rumours of new parties. I want to see the preferred bidder get a deal done. I doubt either Smee or SJM have the funds to do much in prac...
