RoyalBluemelonheadGordons Cumming I'll like to hear all the people who criticized Madejski's brick by brick, cut your cloth accordingly philosophy now. At least he was up front about it.
Come back, John.......................
tbf when anton took over they did say it quite clearly
nothing would change, still operating in the same sound financial setting, there wont be a massive difference,but we will invest in the infrastructure, that we wont be forced to sell our best players for financial reasons.
Didn't someone recently claim that Nigel Howell had told Get Reading that Mariappa was sold to plug a hole in the finances?

Nail on head - we just did exactly that as Kebe and Mariappa were arguably our best two players last season.
no. they were sold because they had prem offers, and wanted out.

im not sure someone claiming anything on here is reason to believe it - not seen the howe quotes or the context, so cant realy comment
id imagine that getting someone off the wage bill in order to help us get others in would technically class as financial reasons
maffff Mapps told Adkins in their first meeting he wanted to look for a Prem move. We didn't overly tout him until the end to get a premium fee and we did. Adkins seems happy with the three and a youngster for now.

BraisingsteakRoyalgenome Heard rumours that Anton still owes Sir John a sizeable amount of cash. This could be where the parachute payments have gone.
I'm fairly sure the parachute payments are the clubs money, not Antons. And if Anton wanted to take that money out of the club to then pay SJM with, he'd have to do it in the proper manner (plus paying tax on it etc)...?
That is if a football club is run in the same way as any other Ltd company...
paddy20 Having seen the shambles of the transfer window I think there can only be one answer to our present predicament. There is a big problem with our new owners. Despite publicising our determination to get back into the premiership, to signing three new players including a top striker and immediate return to the perm, everything seems to have suddenly changed. The only answer I can see is that suddenly all the funds have dried up. We sold two of our better players with indecent haste to bring in £5m. Hammond says we need to have ' a reality check', Adkins is staying diplomatically quiet but underneath I think we can see a manager seething that all the promises of funding to build a new team to play possession football have disappeared. A deal struck with Sissoko was suddenly changed at the last moment. We are now saying we cant afford Sharp's wages of £18k pw. Zingaravech is neither seen or heard?? It seems to have been pretty sudden also.

Or do you have a Madejski Hotel room booked 365 days a year so you can push a glass up aaginst the wall

From my own experience it is quite possible to structure a deal to buy a company and then use that company's future income to pay off the money that you spent buying it in the first place. I also believe that this can be done in quite a tax efficient manner.
melonhead a deal was done, but we were trumped last minute by QPR and the club couldnt afford/didnt think he was worth/didnt have time to sort out the extra money wed have needed to pay to un trump him
