Quite happy to add my long held views on Ego Madejski to SDR's thread no matter what his motivation in starting the thread was thanks very much.
The likes of Strap and I began questioning JM's purely 'philanthropical motivation' many, many years ago. We were mocked then and I certainly don't care about being mocked again. However, it is heartening to see that an increasing number in the crowd are beginning to question the fabric of the Emperor's clothes.

voice of reason This is mental.
I thought all the issues regarding why we arent spending/why isn't John Madejski selling the club were resolved soon after his BBC Berks interview post Plymouth match.
A few points for those that missed that particular thread or are just well . . stupid? and are posting the same irrelevant remarks again.
JM has always said he does not want to simply bankroll the club he wants to make it self sufficient so it could survive without a wealthy financier. He has also said should someone who is prepared to provide substantial financial backing from their own pocket for the manager want to buy the club they are welcome to. Unfortunately these multi billionaire football fans are few and far between and we are hardly the most attractive club to buy anyway. So stop making remarks like "its time for JM to sell up" you are just embarrasing yourself.
Why aren't we spending all the money we are generating from selling our players? Two pretty obvious reasons. Firstly some of the money is going to be required to help balance the books and pay for the wages that are no longer being paid for by vast sums of tv money and full houses every week.
Secondly, be a bit bloody realistic here. If someone is going to cost anything more than a million quid it would be reasonable to think they are going to be pretty damn good at football and therefore will surely choose to play in the Premiership rather than at Reading (remember we are in the Championship now). Believe it or not there aren't hordes of players, better than the players already playing at the club, that are dying to play for a club in the Championship.
All these people that are looking for a big money transfer need to wake up and smell the roses, they rarely happen in the Championship and when they do they don't always guarentee promotion, more often than not they condem the club to future financial turmoil. On top of that the club have strengthened with Armstrong, Hunt and Mooney and just because they didn't cost lots of money and aren't established Premiership players doesn't mean they won't be what we need to get us out of this division.

I lost interest at "Madejski wants this club to be self sufficient".

It's a load of cock!
Unless you are a top four club, you will not be able to profit AND provide a manager with sufficient funds to build a successful team. We would be back in League 1 in no time at all.
Madejski is taking us backwards. Why? We don't know but we are going backwards and there seems very little effort on his part to take us forwards once again.

Smoking Kills Dancing Doe So if a new owner came in and said "Steve, here's £10m go and spend it." What do you think would happen?
The same if JM said to Coppell, "Steve, you've got £5m from the Kitson deal, go and spend it."
How do we know JM hasn't made the money avaliable, when we know Coppell won't spend it?

brendywendyKes In the words of JM - Reading lost £22million by getting relegated. How can you lose what you didn't have in the first place?
income and outgoings on a yearly basis, make the foundation of any financial review and planning
you base it on what you had coming in, and going out last year
if that income suddenly reduces by 22 million, you need to balance your outgoings accordingly.
