Thing is, we can all listen to some bloke down the pub with his RFC conspiracy theories and dismiss them, but when that bloke in the pub is actually known to have good links into RFC then I, for one, tend to stand up and listen. When that bloke in the pub turns into two blokes down the pub saying the same, or similar, thing in different conversations, then it may well be put down to coincidence. But when a third person turns around and says almost exactly the same thing as the other two in another completely separate conversation, well then I tend to lean ever further towards the scepticism end of the spectrum where TSI is concerned.
From day one, the people I know have said that there isn't actually any money. Almost a year after the Jason Roberts transfer, the money had not materialised for that particular transfer. I don't know if the money has now been transferred. The consistent message I get is that TSI doesn't actually have any money and now the exit strategy is being dealt with as we speak, and dependent on which account the PL money gets transferred to, well if it ends up in the wrong one then RFC could well end up in administration.
As I understand it, big earners will probably be sold of in January, or if they feel it is prudent to gamble then the summer. High value assets will be sold, and we will be left with the deadwood like Gorkks and a crop of promising but untried youngsters.
Personally speaking, knowing what I have been told by people I know have links into the club, it has been very difficult not to look upon TSI as one big fraudulent entity full of faceless "investors" who actually have f*ck all in the way of cash. They have duped the powers that be at RFC, the Football League and the Premier League into believing they were the real deal, but most importantly they have duped Reading fans. Gimpish as they may be, Reading fans don't really deserve this, and I only hope that there is a positive outcome at the end of it. From Madejski down, the people at RFC fought for over a decade to embed RFC into the top two divisons of English football, to build the fanbase and the club into the entity that it is now, and it could all come crashing down all because some bent tossers wanted a plaything to embezzle their fraudulently earned funds. And here's the critical point - AZ was a good face for TSI. The locally educated, young "billionaire" with the fit wife who was prepared to front the company, who would easily win over fans due to his links to the town and the fact he was ready to face the music...only he hasn't really has he? He is a perfect foil for the faceless c*nts behind the company. I've resisted many temptations to post these feelings until now because of the sh*t I'd no doubt get, and will probably get on the back of this, but hey, just wait until those chickens come home to roost...I imagine the fox will get them first.
dont even bother with your idiotically gay conspiracy theory you mentalist
