FridaysGhost Dave-Royal is my current favourite Contributor. He speaks more sense and more English than most of the rest of the board AND he knows everything about what is about to happen! I suggest he sorts the 'Syrian Crisis' out and then FINDS OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY Egg-fried- rice!


Can't the pair of you go to Paul Daniels' garden & drown yourselves?


Is that a euphemism ?

URZZZZZ Now would be the worst time to announce a takeover, other clubs will think we got loads of money to splash about and inflate the price they want for players we may be interested in


That's a very valid point.


So maybe we've already been taken over but it's just not been announced to keep prices down? :D

By using that logic; post takeover, we'll never bid for any other players, ever. :?

Moves go on behind the scenes all the time. Discreet enquiries are made to other clubs regarding player availability, and what the likely cost of securing them will be.
Hammond and Co. do not come in to work only when there is a transfer window. I would suspect that the initial enquiry about Hobbs was made several weeks ago.

I would also wonder if some sort of vibe had been received off Hobbs himself, even if it's only let me know what's on offer.

"Qaboos bin Said is rumoured to recently be behind the purchase of former England national team captain John Terry's Surrey mansion. This is being linked by some as a forerunner to a takeover bid of Reading Football Club. The sultan has been a long admirer of the Royals,having been educated in the local area, and apparently used to stand on the Southbank at Elm Park in his younger years.

He has kept tabs on the club over years, with several incognito visits to Elm Park,and was once quoted as saying that Floyd Streete and Jerry Williams were his favourite players.

He plans to re-build Elm Park as part of his takeover bid,if successful, stating that "A crafty pint in the Spread Eagle before kick-off was all part of match-day"

lol

How long until the Madejski becomes the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex 2

Also, when you start to put his name into google the third most common search seems to be about his sexuality...

[didn't realise Thomas Hitzlsperger had come out].
