Really!? The description of their wealth a few series ago suggested most of them were under £100m.

Well, well, well. I take it back.

Although I'd rather cut my cock off than have that dour Scots bastard running things.

Anyone but the Koch brothers. I know how they operate being an American. They will sell off the rest of the talent we still have and then try to move the team to China to keep wages even lower and maximize the profits on their investment. We'd all be pining for the days of the generous, and wild spending, Sir John Madejski. Trust me on this one... :wink:

At reading fc we don't care about the first team or footballing results, what we like to sing and boast about is our balance sheets. Pretty sure if we get DB in - he'll further bolster our long term finances. I am all for it.

rfc2001 Bill Gates

He gives loads of money to charity so he may as well give loads to Reading FC.

We can be sponsored by Microsoft and play at the Microsoft Stadium

That would be cool


In many ways we are just like Microsoft. An operating system that looks pretty from the outside and gets a lot of praise from those who know little, but when you are saddled with it day in, day out, you start to realise that it is quite tedious, doesn't have the functionality you need and is often doing background processes which are purely for it's own benefit.

Reading FC = Windows Vista

Everyone seems to be forgetting Berkshire's most famous resident...

... and what our nickname is...

... and is not thinking of the richest woman in the World.
