Finchjoe999 Alright then so if MADEJSKI, in some strange world, threw 400 billion pounds at the club, we wouldn't go up? thats wrong. Money gets you success sadly. Doesn't matter who's throwing it, just needs someone who can throw.
But Madejski hasn't got it, you are whinging because he's not investing, but he has no money to invest compared with the big players so what's the point?
And no one with that sort of money is going to buy RFC. Why would they when there are plenty more attractive clubs?
Your arguments are just like you Joey, a joke.

Terminal Boardom Please do the honourable thing and sell the club now to someone who wants to take the club forward. We do not want to stagnate any more.

Terminal Boardom When the daft old coot took over, he was pumping between £25k and £40k to keep the club alive. He succeeded and for that I am grateful. However, my take is that he sees no reason why he should continue to subsidise the football club and that the club should stand on its own financial feet and be self financing. Hence the £4m shortfall predicted at the start of this season and the need for high earners to go (Cisse, Matejovsky) and to reduce the wage bill further (Henry).
As reported elsewhere on HNA? the suggestion is that the likes of Long, Feds, MacAnuff and Gylfi have been prostituted to all comers in an attempt to generate further capital into the coffers. Well, Gylfi has gone.
This leaves us with a Chairman who has no interest in financially supporting the club any more. What use is that to the football club? Football is a strange commodity insomuch that very few clubs are run profitably. There has always been a need for a wealthy benefactor to provide funds in order that clubs can compete. What the Chairman has done is to remove Reading FC's ability to be competitive. This course of action will only end one way and that will be with relegation from the Championship.
We got lucky last season with the removal of BR and BMcD's acquisition of Zurab and Griff. I would not be in the least surprised if, come the January transfer window, we are in the mire that all of a sudden 2 or 3 loan signings appear in a vain attempt to keep us in this division.
I make no bones about this. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Chairman kept the club going. But now he is letting it die and the sale of Gylfi coupled with the underwhelming incomings of a 33 year old League 1 full back and a Georgian international that no-one else in Europe wanted to touch simply confirms this approach.
Sir John Madeski. Your time has been and gone. Please do the honourable thing and sell the club now to someone who wants to take the club forward. We do not want to stagnate any more.

No one wants RFC!!!!
You can't sell if no one wants to buy at the ridiculously over-inflated price Mr Mad is allegedly demanding .

Likewise absolutely everything that is said by people from the club is 100% kosher?
When you get older (and wiser??? ) I suspect that your one-sided view might falter a little.

I have to concede that there are some decent arguments in there, but as I come from the school of thought, like Madejski, that football should be self financing and that rich owners pumping money into clubs should be banned (or at the very least controlled) then i cannot agree with much of it.

Svlad Cjelli Only if the objective is to try and compete in the football rat-race.
How about if the objective is to maintain a football club appropriate to the size of the town and the size of it's support, and let it grow it gradually, watching the competition crash and burn, waiting for the financial readjustment to come (for instance proper financial governance rules that forbid debt) and knowing that every now and then that a Coppell and continuity will build a team that will have some success.
It's only the supporters - and mainly the younger ones (often brought up on Soccer AM and Championship Manager and instant gratification) - who demand success and demand it NOW!!!!!
