Thames Sports Investment

Don't really understand the panic here on this.

If the deal is off, then so what? Was never convinced by it in the first place and secondly whether it happens or not now, it ain't going to effect the outcome of this season now anyway (unless we were advanced enough money and signed Messi on an emergency loan).

As a major Madejski critic of recent years, IF we go up, then his bargaining position is greatly enhanced. Enter Branson or Simon Fuller et al etc ( ). If we don't go up, then at worst all that happens is we realise our Championship mediocrity next season that most of us thought would be the case at the start of this season anyway.

Never trusted them ruskys.

robinsfriday - can your source verify that the Fosters is watered down or is just a conspiracy theory?

Lets be honest here, a source for this one isn't required.

[Shackleton Royal]

I found a source earlier, he had daddy's sauce on his t-shirt and went well with a fry up. To be fair, my sauce is more trustworthy than anything i've read on here recently!!!

[Rex]

I prefer saucy women myself.

[sandman]

Have heard from a VERY reliable source that there COULD be some potential problems which would make the deal LESS likely to happen. There is a GOOD chance though that they are minor hiccups and the deal will PROBABLY go ahead as planned UNLESS there's another problem.

I'll upd8 you with anything else I hear in the next few weeks.

That's very interesting. I'm on tenterhooks waiting for news especially news from someone as reliable as yourself.

Personally I wont be convinced 'till Focher tells us AZ has purchased a house in an interesting area of Reading.

[TheLawnMowerMan]

I don't blab on here about a lot of stuff that I'm told - as I'm not bothered whether a) anyone believes it or b) any of it actually comes true (in most instances) - I do, however, care that my sources would not tell me anything else if they thought I went running to HNA every time they told me something. HTH.

Blabber in shock statement.

I know who you are and I wouldn't tell you anything REALLY confidential.

HTH

M8 I don't!!! I could write a book about what I know about other nobbers - that they have themselves confided in me - but I never would. I've never shared anything that anyone has told me. So go wind up someone else today!

Thanks for your silence.

They make my ears burn

[Badger Finger]

I reckon it'll all fall through unless JM agrees to play Ra Ra Rasputin before every game...

[Hampshire Royal]

JM is holding out for Hooray, Hooray, it's a happy holiday, yet another of Boney M's greatest hits. If he allows the Russki's to get away with this, well, it's the thin end of the wedge. What next, vodka at half time?

Oh wait, hang on.....

If it falls through and we aren't promoted, wonder how many people would want their ST money for next year refunded.

[melonhead]

well there are plenty of idiots about

[Extended-Phenotype]

Without TSI, do we have a chance to stay up in the Prem, were we to make it there? Is there a chance we could ever make it if Brian continues to face rebuilding every season with no help from our owner? Will he even stick around?

Have no idea why anyone would be happy to see this deal fail.

Me.

Madejski himself has signed the release forms though, so I am satisfied.

49% ownership of an ST is better than fcuk all i suppose.
