Why, did you encounter a slighty disturbing gay, old Scotsman in a kilt?

Or did you recognise the scenery?

I'm getting excited now, there's some substance in this. If he was educated in reading then there is clear affiliation with the club!!

Reading manager Brian McDermott flew to Milan to meet the club's prospective owners earlier in the week to discuss team rebuilding.

:idea: Reading FC Official Team Photo. Updated January 2012


In all seriousness though. IF THIS GOES AHEAD. How weird is it reading stuff like that? I NEVER in a million years thought this would happen, i never thought i'd see Madejski sell up, obviously i would but it never seemed legit or likely, suddenly this does?!??!?

Genuinely excited by this..... My only concern is how long McD will remain at the club..... Last thing we want is some jobless ex-PL 'big name' coming in......

SJM will still be the chairman, so I doubt we will see any major overhauls. SJM makes it seem like an investment and not a takeover.

If Madejski is still chairman then surely its his decision!?
