Re: Will we exist as a club 1 year from now?

Yes, but I completely expect us to have gone into and out of administration, and so the owner is unlikely to be the same as it currently is. I also think administration is the best hope the club has of long-term survival right now. I’ll ask again, given that the debt is ‘owned’ by Dai and administr...

Re: Ruben Selles it is

Really well regarded as a coach, I'd almost rather this than Wilder if we're looking to build something. However recruitment is absolutely key with regards to the playing squad. Pace please!

Royal_jimmy What on earth is going on at the club


I imagine that losing valuable members of staff is a direct consequence of relegation.

Would have happened if we stayed up - didn't she fall out with Chambers? I'm pretty sure it was the club she fell out with in the main, as they weren't too supportive of her maturnity leave. That said I guess that too all intents and purposes Kelly was the club! Not what she said to Alex Scott on t...

Re: Is it time to bring back Ashes by Embrace?

It all went downhill when we stopped playing Big Bad Wolf by Duck Sauce - although this may have been in the changing room, thanks to Jem.

Re: The squad in July

We definitely need another forward IMO. Whilst Carroll is more than good enough, I'm not convinced he can last the season and there's just not enough experience behind him. Azeez is possibly in the same boat. Potentially more than good enough but fitness is an issue. Obviously, if Meite renewed, th...

Re: Reading FC Review

No but I do know Peter Osgood turned up for a trial and the ground was locked up when he arrived. And Sam Bartram turning up wanting to play in goal at a trial in the 1930s and being told to play at half back :roll: It’s the Reading way. Reading FC, clueless then, clueless still. Newcastle did the ...

Re: Mark Bowen

All they can really do it check on the legality of someone taking over, and request transparancy into the proposed funding of the clubs. If they bar someone from buying a business that they have a legal right to buy, they could face costly lawsuits. The guy behind Zingarevich came out with that in ...

Re: Mark Bowen

The issue throughout has been our owners. Sadly the EFL can't be docked points or relegated for continually failing to adequately do the fit and proper persons checks.

Re: Mark Bowen

One of the main problems with Moore was the constant injuries and loss of form over the last couple of years. We’ve got nothing back really for about 4 million quid over the last two years just as we have been desperate to use that cash Though same could be said to a lesser extent on Meite and Ejar...

Re: Mark Bowen

Basically sounds like we could have met the Business Plan if we'd sold Puscas for ~£2m as hoped, Ejaria for a couple million, Joao for about £5m and Moore for a couple. But once Puscas obviously wasn't going anywhere and nor was Moore, there was zero point in trying any of the others. Moore must be...

Re: The squad in July

More than anything, we need pace - something that has been hugely lacking (Ince excepted) throughout this season. I wouldn't be surprised to see Holmes and Ince go - as they're saleable. I would love Ejaria to go, or at least play regularly. I think that TMac will stay, although that is just a gut f...

Re: New manager

O’Shea. When he was here he said that there was no winners here and players needed to change mentality to a winning one. Let see if he can change that. Keep Eddie or experienced coach as number two or maybe someone like Murty, jobi who have done it with the club and can give first hand experience o...

Re: Relegation

For those who think we'll bounce back quickly if relegated, it's worth remembering that half our squad are on loan or are OOC. We may have a team next year with only Yiadom, Azeez, McIntyre and Holmes in it + a load of newbies. We'll be limited on who we could bring in due to the low wage cap barri...

Re: George Puscas leaving?

Looks like Genoa are almost as good as up, especially if they don't lose to Bari when they play them They have tp play 3 of the top four (thy being the other member of the top four) in their last 4 games. The key is to be 10 points clear of fourth place. Puscas seems to have been relegated to the s...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Luton Town (h)

You have to say that those are the sort of games that relegated teams have. Finding themselves in a strong position but then basically throwing it away. Not sure I agree.
