Seems to have significant interest in a number of clubs. Could this potentially fall foul of ownership rules.

None of them have any conflict with us - the only tenuus one would be with the Swedish football team but other people own multiple European sides I believe so of no concern.

However I don;t think he'll be the buyer so I don;t think it matters !

I await the press release tomorrow and have the humble pie in the oven....

[The whole year inn]

I wouldn't say no to Matty Taylor from Portsmouth.

Pushover.

Anschutz has a track record of finding undervalued assets and turning them into major players.

Champions League here we come.

Check out Anshutz's wikipedia entry, he already owns the Reading Royals, abeit a minor league ice hockey outfit with their catchy 'Proud to be a Royal' strapline!

His next acquisition will be the Windsor Royals, a minor league european monarchy franchise.

Doyle and Crouch is a nightmare partnership for me. Why get Crouch when we already have Kitson who is just as good and can head the ball.

to cover kitsons injuries?

Class rumour today! Clearly a kid who knows very little about football but Im loving his WCBP!

Huddlestone to Reading, £2–3 million, Ramos says he is not fit enugh for Tottenham. if shorey goes then maybe Riise for £3–4, wages maybe to high. or bains £4–5. not getting played at Everton.

I wouldn't mind Riise for £3-4 though.

[Behindu]

Do you think he meant £3.40 and just got muddled up with his typing ?

[G'La]

Guti to Reading, swap shorey with Riise + £££, Rafa is worried about the foreign player limit. lita to swap with Victor Anichebe, or sign Defoe. maybe Matty Taylor, after hunts horror tackle.

Leeds' Jermaine Beckford will join Coventry as Michael Mifsud joins a Premier League side (some say Reading, I think Derby).

[Gus the teenage cow]
