Brogue Just about to have the takeover confimred after nearly going to the wall. And we have a page full of discussion about 1990’s Crewe :| great work lads :roll:


My thoughts entirely, where`s Nath btw?

Meanwhile I`m off to watching SSN waiting for that breaking news story.

I assume he's getting therapy for his personality issues, or hiding over on General Sport again.

Twitter pic of the new Reading board (either that or the expected defensive line once the FL approved business plan takes effect)

Greatly looking forward to what we all hope will be a wonderfully NORMAL time with what we hope will be a great bunch of people.

Look, I'm as relieved as the next Reading fan at their arrival.

But baggy chinos that are too long for him and massive New Balance trainers? Let's hope he's better at running a football club than he is at chosing clothes. And he needs a hair cut.

I mean, has he not seen the Internet?

Lots of unsubtle hints that this will be announced at the game tomorrow. Could be a party atmosphere. Hope the players deliver a win to go with it.

All eyes on the directors box it is tomorrow then.

Who`s the scruffy lad at the back?

Hi Brogue, pretty much think we were waffling on about sustainable academies and got a wee bit side tracked!! A little nostalgia before our big news :D :D :D

Some pretty bitter takes here:

https://gasroom.org/discussion/8749/rea ... ycombe/p53

It seems like some of them genuinely think they're a rival to us now. I remember a similarly feeling with West Ham when Pardew left
even going on as long as 2012 when we beat them to the title. But ultimately they're way bigger than us and it has shown long term. Wycombe may have a few tasty games with us for a few years, but long term they'll go back to being an irrelevance to us.

I’ve been a Royals fan for a lot of years, been there, seen that.
I no longer live in the area and don’t make it to many games and won’t be there tomorrow.
For everyone who has endured the tortured last few years I hope things go as expected tomorrow and it genuinely is the start of a new and better era.
I hope you leave the game with smiles on your faces and continue to do so.
I’ll be thinking of you …..

Got my first season ticket in 1975 and my final one last season. Now retired, living by the sea and can’t face the journey 23+ times a year, but my son will carry on, just as I took over from my Dad. I do plan to go to a few games each season, but for the most part, I will let Tim, Mick and Adie describe the action (unless it’s available to watch). Looking forward to hearing some good news tomorrow and being able to return to some semblance of normality. If any good is to come of the shit show of the last couple of years, I hope it will be that Reading supporters are among the first to show up and demonstrate solidarity with those of other clubs suffering from incompetent owners.

Would imagine there has to be something said given they are apparently all going to be in the director's box.

A point well made regarding future solidarity with others :wink:

Genuine question for any experts out there:

How much transparency regarding the business plan will there be?

Will the extent of the funding be in the public domain or what was paid for what?

Or it be 'terms are undisclosed' and we don't know how secure the underlying funding actually is...

Wouldn't have thought financial specifics would be revealed (would you want every club/player knowing what your budget is for a season) but would expect the owners to outline what their general aims are and the basic plans for the immediate future (probably part of that to include a general idea on comings and goings etc.) which will be one hell of an improvement and step up from the approach of the previous incumbent.
