Royal1983 M-U-R-T-Y So this is what the FA cup run paid for...
By the looks things, about time they gave something back other than the vouchers tbh. Wonder if Sir John will let McD buy anyone in or if
we will be a feeder club for bigger teams again?!?!
When was the last time we were that? (Post Play-Off failure 94/95 is the only time that I can think that we sold any number of players that we may have wanted to keep - the sale of players post relegation from the Prem were a necessity driven by the players' desire as much as economic strategy, otherwise we would have sold the likes of Doyle, Bikey, Matejovsky the minute we were relegated)
Usually we were too crap to have players of interest to the bigger boys (Kerry Dixon being the obvious exception) or we were looking to build a squad for development.
It may be that Madejski views the sale of likes of Sig, Mills, Church, (Kebe even) as short term gains, but bearing in mind the economic management seen this season I have my doubts.
