Sun Tzu
Schards#2 Madejski talks about wanting to sell at every opportunity, whether he's keen to sell, desperate to sell, would be chuffed to sell, would be tickled pink to sell, it's all just boring semantics and has no bearing on our prospects. However you choose to phrase it, the reality is it hampers the prospects of progress.

It would be rather more interesting if you addressed this point rather than indulging on you trademark boring nit picking.


Madejski has been talking about selling for years.

Before 05-06

Before we played in the Premiership

Before Coppell was at the club

So how does talking about it now change anything ? He's clearly not desperate to sell. If he was he would have sold. There is no evidence at all that JM is restricting our progress. Considering we've progressed during the life of this thread your point is self defeated....

And you are a fine one to talk about 'semantics' given your entire contribution to HNA consists of word play and wriggling out of situations by twisting comments !!!

One day I'm sure you'll actually engage in discussion rather than preaching.


This latest article does refer to the current financial climate so in my view it is not new news but reaffirms his falling out with football.
Incidentally I do find it a bit odd that he (incorrectly) says "we've never seen the like of this economic downturn before..." when not only has he made a significant profit on the sculpture but also the Premier League has re-negotiated IMPROVED terms for Premier football on TV.
Life may become more difficult for the other leagues but the Premier has a few more years of gravy train left.
I would have thought to improve his chances of a good price sale he would have pushed the boat out in this transfer window to bring in players BETTER than the current squad whereas from selection for the last 3 games it looks very much as though they are only in as cover.
For an extremely wealthy man he does seem to moan a lot-even more than some of us on here who are just marginally less wealthy. :wink: .

It won't happen. We will be dull and uninspiring in his eyes all the way up back up to the Prem.

As far as I'm concerned, ever since I got back from Italy, we've gained 5 points from our last 3 games. How many have Wolves and Birmingham earned over their last 3 games? I think Wolves only got 3.

I was trying to say our form over the last 3 compared to those other two aren't that bad.

Anyway, check out this blog on the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher ... tml#057227

I think they're disgreeing with you, Schards.

I like that reporter, Paul Fletcher has done a number of really well put and more importantly well researched blogs on there. If you read or listen to any columnist on Sky (sorry Salako that included you!) They haven't got a sodding clue about individual clubs or players and the way they blag it on 'Big League Weekend' or on any of their blogs is truly cringe worthily embarassing.

Fletcher did a blog about Sean Gregan earlier in the season and also about League 2 football between Daggers and Barnet, both excellent.

Enjoyed it as well. Sounds like we might have to use a more agressive/attacking formation against teams that park the bus in front like PNE did. Teams will be happy to grab a point off of us when we are at home.

Cracking little read that.

Even quite a few of the comments were worth reading and interesting.

So, seven and a half hours without a Reading player scoring.

Is it time for everyone to accept that watch Reading IS a whole lot more dull and uninsiring than it has been in recent years?

Embrace that humble pie guys.

Why do we "always" lose at home to the big-mouth-supporter teams like Southampton, Bristol Titty and Portsmouth? Don't know about "hard to see any progress for the forseeable future" - it's hard to see us scoring for the forseeable future.

At one point today I was enjoying watching the seagulls more than the game. That said it's not enough to make me pessimistic yet.
