Tamworth_Royal I’m quite pleased with the signing of Manset who I think can make an immediate impact.
Brett Williams……. could be a Doyle, Mooney, Long or Hartenberger who knows.
But there are a couple of things that bother me about this week’s signings……..
1. No mention of the push to the Premiership by the Madejski or anyone else on the offical website announcing the signing of Manset ?.
2, Two strikers in a week ????? In the January transfer window? this is Reading after all .
McD has said we don’t have to sell and we don’t want too, but has the Mad Man echoed those words?.
My problem is that knowing Madejski he will allow Long to go and these signings are designed to appease the fans ahead of the big letdown.
Watch this space, Madejski has a cunning plan and this is the first part of it.
Posted in January this year, 7 months later £10m(Undisclosed lol) in player sales and a good FA cup run and play off final........
to quote Madejski this week August 2011
Will there be money to spend?
I don’t know where you’re going to find this money from? We have budgets that we work to and there is a bit of scope to do some more deals before August 31.
Is the club breaking even at the moment?
It’s difficult to say right now because we’re in the middle of things, so I can’t say whether it is or not. I would be very surprised if it is quite honestly.


Does this all go back to wages being too high?
Everyone knows that footballers are paid an extraordinary amount of money, which is not composite with what we have got. That’s why football is struggling.
Not just in this division, but in the Premier League and everywhere else. It’s a fact of life now and I’m sure that is going to change.
We can’t wait until they bring in the football fair-play rules as we decided on in the last conference. We just try to do the best we can and that is what we do.
We have some very good people here struggling to make it work and square the rubican, but there is no fat on the bone.
Well who the feck are they NigeLOL Howe and the David Blunkitt accountancy company?????
Sept 10 Black hole £4M = Sigi Sold CASH £7M, Cup run, Play offs what £2M, Mills, long sold what say £8M-£10M yet again Madejski treats the fans like they are stupid ( Oh I get it now .......... RTG's )
Oh well carry on as normal then.
