ZacNaloenSJM saw the club primarily as a means of moving money around his business empire.

The Goat was fed It's Nicky Hammond.
We got relegated for under-investing in quality players first time around, ditto this season.
If he had been doing his job properly, he would have been urging AZ/Brian McD to invest in quality or suffer the consequences, based on his own experience.
The fact that it hasn't happened, suggests either:
(a) He's absolutely stupid, so shouldn't be in the job.
(b) He gives advice based on his experiences, but gets completly ignored, so shouldn't be in the job.
(c) He's a evil Teflon man who never accepts responsibility for his mistakes, so shouldn't be in the job.

To return to the OP , the common denominator is clear......SJM.
Lets hope things are going to change.

ZacNaloen The obvious that players and agents are sucking football clubs dry, I can see that clearly, up and down the football pyramid.

Please provide some evidence of whatever is obvious. At the moment this is just baseless accusation. Why should we take you seriously?

In general terms you are right. But other teams manage to stay in the premier..a committed owner is more than half the battle.
Not one who who has been quite open for several years about his desire to scrape the club off his shoe.
It brings to mind the old parable about the guy who wanders through the streets shouting " who will buy my stinking fish ? "

You shouldn't.
You should take a long cold look at the last few years in the history of the club and its financial position.
Its not as though the elephant in the room has only just appeared.

glenroyal So back to the OP, which was about Hammond (not about slandering SJM)
Maybe some truth that Hammond's skills and competence weren't (aren't) up to driving the management team into more opportunities. I suspect as a team (I've already said they were too cautious maybe) - maybe needs more differences of character within the team. I get the feeling (pre Anton sacking Brian) the team was a bit too cosy - a group of similar-minded people, who seemed to genuinely get on. Needed a maverick, a pusher, a risk-taker - like Di Canio or Warnock
And what have we added to that team .... oh right, I see.
I think the biggest accusation you can make against Reading's management is they're a bit boring and risk-averse.

Too many conservatives I'd say.

Alexander Litvinenko Isn't Hammond also a common denominator of us getting promoted *TO* the Premier League?
Or is this just another numptie who doesn't understand anything about what Hammond actually does?
