Winston Biscuit The Gymshark Arena has a nice ring to it....


William Storey being name checked doesn't fill me with confidence.

Stepping into the unknown, but I would be quite excited tbh. Young lad who is big into football and is worth a lot of £££

Can't ask for much more really

Pretty sure Smudger broke the news on the points deductions, unpaid HMRC and a few other bits, so he's obviously still got contacts. Has also got a couple of things wrong recently though. Stuck his neck out on this one, so you'd think he's pretty confident, let's hope it's true.

And he is British.
Seems young though. Young owners tend to be naive.
Big investment someone like him.
Would be very happy, but I'm a bit nervous as well. Just hope he can find a good experienced CEO if this happens.

Been burned too many times throughout this ordeal to get excited. So desperate for it to be true this time.

His track record for the past year poor sadly. Earnshaw not denying, but says he would be surprised.

Would be a dream ticket if true. Sensible businessman and true football fan. Would back him to understand what clubs mean unlike the last 3.

Too many false dawns to get too excited at this stage.

Time for Anthony Smith to retire. Got some big calls wrong. His source is humiliating him.

I think everyone appreciates there are at times rumors etc, but to go from saying its almost done to finding out minutes later the bloke isn't even slightly interested in owning us?! What a shambles :lol:

Smudger doubling down :lol:

Just to clarify this came from a #readingfc staff member. Changes are already taking place behind the scenes, so things are clearly progressing. Not Ben Francis as believed, at least we have clarity.


Not sure how you can get it so wrong; a guy not remotely interested apparently on the brink.
