I met up with my old man today for some dinner, easter eggs etc, and he mentioned that one of the gentleman that sit with him each week at football claimed Reading were close to a deal with Virgin boss Richard Branson who apparently is a close friend. I'd never heard that one before however.
Now I know what you're thinking, same as what I said when he said it. This little rumour has gone around the supporters for however long.....yawn, but he said and I quote "My son works in Madejski's office" what ever that actually means!
I'm skeptical about it as it's almost to good to be true but if true, that's the sort of new buyer we want isn't it?
Thoughts about the new shirt sponsor next season sprang to mind also.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see but here it is again.
I can't pretend to be in the know, I'm not, but there are one or two on here that do seem to here goings on, can they support this or is this a case of grown man crying wolf?
Virgin on the ridiculous
My sister informed my dad that she had heard that a certain Shane Long was in Q Bar last night. My dad told her that he was probably there because he'd gotten sent off and had missed the past two matches. Moral of this story = Don't believe dads.

The clubs are lining up but I doubt we're even in with a sniff.
Coppelled Streets Reading were close to a deal with Virgin boss Richard Branson.

put those together and you have a more likely deal!
I've been told these rumours weekly, but I want your verdicts on it. I got another text from a pal saying that Branson is interested in buying RFC, and is likely to move soon!!! If this is true, which I'm unsure about as yet as it hasnt happened may this be the man to take us back to the Premiership and turn us into a force!
Anyone else heard these murmerrings???

Personally, I try not to listen to the voices in my head. I suggest you do the same with the voices in yours.

Heard on the radio that The Krankies are trying to form a consortium with Ted Rogers, Felix Bowness and the Beverly Sisters.

I believe Ken Dodd is aware of these developments.
Like I said its what I've been told... and with him selling a chunk of his Virgin empire and being from Oxford... maybe just maybe.
It would be a dream and a wet one at that if RB bought RFC.

No, of course you're right. He'd buy a football club and refuse to spend money on it.
The guy has money coming out of his arse, Finch. You think IF he did buy a football club he would be happy watching it potter around the Championship?
This is a guy who is driven by success!!

More likely to spend than Egomaniac - would be hard to believe that he'd spend less! Can you spend less?
i heard Joey Deacon was interested, the money he amassed from his Blue Peter fund was staggering.

You really should understand business instead of just listening to Richard Branson's PR machine...
How many profitable businesses does he now actually own?
At least if Branson buys us it'll mean we get a new striker in Robbie Fowler!
