I won't. I think he's a massive cnut but probably better than the incompetent cnut we have in charge,

I’m not keeping track too well, so maybe someone can put me right

As I understand it we get either ZZ Top or Bad Manners

Both are sharp dressed men. Only one of them can can take over though.

Mike Ashley owns Coventry's stadium

Could he be here just to buy the Madejski Stadium?

It`ll make a bloody big house of Fraser to replace the one that`s closing in the oracle.

I doubt it. His representatives were shown around Bearwood as well by all accounts.

Given Ashley's history of making deals, if he seriously wants to buy Reading FC he very likely will do.

Thinking about Bearwood, Is it theoretically possible to have two teams train at the same location? Is it big enough?

Obviously not league rivals, but if Brentford need somewhere for a couple of seasons for their first team then maybe the money would be handy.

Are Brentford actually moving? Actually go past their training ground regularly and seems they’ve upgraded it a bit over the last few years

It doesn’t exactly scream prem legaue training ground mind you. Next to a muddy field of stinking cows

There are enough pitches but realistically not sure you'd want to share your facilities with another club and not sure another club would want to be tenants as the training ground would not be set up for their needs but the "home" clubs.

With a bit of reconfiguration of the Academy changing rooms and pitches, you could probably get two teams in, but realistically you'd be exiling both teams' academy teams to a different location. The main first team building at Bearwood could remain Reading's and Team X could use the Academy building and afore mentioned changing rooms and pitches.

QPR may have been a good option, but they're recently moved to a new training ground. Really only leaves Wycombe, Brentford, Swindon and Oxford as possible tenants.

Shit Billy Gibbons After signing a contract & exclusivity in Oct we entered a period of due diligence. Our accountants have reported. My investors & I have decided not to proceed. I wish the club & loyal fans the very best & hope they get an owner who will invest for long term success #readingfc
