Donate for Zurab!

[Thames]

Hello,

I was one of 15,000 odd fans very impressed with not only the performances but the attitude of Georgian Loanee Zurab Khiznashvilli.

Not only that, has has publicly stated he wants to come back to the Madejski Stadium to play for Reading FC! How many footballers have an attitude like that in this day and age?

Unfortunatley, Blackburn want around 1,000,000 of the queens pounds for him and it appears that as a club we can't afford to splash that kind of cash.

I am seriously considering registering with a donation website or setting up a bank account for the "Zurab Fund".

5000 Reading fans donating £200 each = Zurab

10000 Reading fans donating £100 = Zurab

Zurab = Promotion Challenge next season.

Who would be interested in contributing to this cause? I am happy to arrange this all in my spare time if I feel I have the support to make it worthwhile.

No thanks.

Waste of time.

[Thames]

No thanks.

Waste of time.

That's the attitude of somebody wanting to finish mid table.

They want less than that for him.

What's to stop you from taking this money for yourself? Excuse me if I feel I don't trust you.

[Thames]

If you feel I can't be trusted, I'm happy for us to all agree on a specific individual to do this.

John Madejski?

[Row Z Royal]

Cash for Cash for Zurab!

Incorrect.

John Madejski?

Good answer.

[WestCoast Life]

He could refuse to go anywhere else, do a Shorey and then we get him much cheaper in the next transfer window. Wasn't that the strategy with Tommy Smith ? oh...

[No Hoops]

I'd donate £200

It won't work though.

Except that Watford wanted to keep Tommy Smith, whereas Blackburn don't want Zurab Khizanishvili.

I would donate 1k if Mr Mad donated 100k

It won't work though

[Wycombe Royal]

I've already given the club £750, they aren't getting any more.

These people who are saying they would donate money, are you also going to keep donating money to pay his wages?

[Big Foot]

I give the club permission to spend £200 of my season ticket money on signing Zurab.

Yours, a promotion striver

[EASTENDER MARKY]

I'd happily donate £100 of my cash for such a good cause. What a great idea.

What about a demonstration in John Madejski's parking space?

[Royal With Cheese]

This is a bit like the Points of View sketch from Not the Nine O'clock News.

[Urinal Mint]

I throw enough money away on football. No thanks. Would love him to sign though.
Poor show on our behalf if we don't come up with what is effectively a small amount for a quality centre back that made a huge difference to us last season.

You don't know what is the exact amount Blackburn is asking for. If it's £750K, do you think it is a small amount? I don't think so.
