Re: All too good to be true?

I genuinely fear it could all go wrong when Madejski gets cold feet and realises that there is only one business making him look good- Reading FC. I worry he will pull out of the TSI deal spinning it that AZ is not 'good enough' and we will be back to selling to cover the 'annual black hole'. Due diligence is not the clincher in this deal remember, it's all about gentlemanly conduct...
If, touch-wood, the TSI deal does go through, I then worry that AZ has Football Manager on his mind; admit it, how many of us think that we've spotted a good signing in the past and then imagine having the money to buy the player yet having to keep your mouth shut as it's not the owners job to buy players...so tough! The TSI/BMcD relationship will be near-impossible to manage if AZ actually has the money to buy players when Reading is supposed to be operating in a 'cut-your-cloth-accordingly' manner...
20% sure the deal will go through, 80% sure that even if it does go through the relationship will go sour.
Sorry for being so half-full about it all, I promise I'm enjoying things right now!
