Just sounds like RC is on his first steps to becoming a fully fledged Reading fan. Step 4: Reading fans understand that Deller is a bit of a dick. Cant understand all this vitriol against Tim Dellor. Sure he gets carried away sometimes but he's a geniune fan as are Mick and Ady. I would hate them t...

Cisse has joined Rosenior at Strasbourg

The last thing Chinese owners want is to lose face. The publicity now I hope will be embaressing for Dai. I see the Chinese have now bought our famous prison as well

Selles is trying to communicate his style to the whole squad. The kids, inexperienced and fearless, have taken to it fairly easily. The first team, mostly having been managed by a succession of dreadful coaches, are struggling with it and will take more time. I do think that our back line needs who...

Sutekh Really need to work on the defence and get some organisation and consistency. Can't do it until they sort the goalkeeper out, Button should be a step up on what we currently have so hope that deal works out asap.

Bournemouth mate said he was terrible there

is this embargo different to last year then as we gave sarr a 4 year deal That wasn't an embargo, it was a business plan with tight controls. The embargo was the year before when we signed no one on more than 1 year... This we were under an agreed decision, which whilst we embargoed from signing pl...

Madejski can't afford to buy the club outright, but perhaps him and a group of local investors could acquire a majority stake in the club, maybe with fans buying a stake as well. Then the club can be run self-sufficiently, even if season tickets have to go up to pay for it. Would be great to see th...

What do we think? No great pedigree

We're not exactly short at centre-back, if there is a position for us to cut costs in then this is it. Don't really know why we are having to cut costs so much! There is no FFP in Div 1 and although there is a restriction on wage/turnover, income can be increased by the owners putting in more inves...

Watched since 1962. I think the problem we have now is that we really don't have a team at all. With all the contracts up it leaves us with probably not more than one or two decent players. We have the under 21's and let's be honest none of them have shone or stand out at all. Any re-build will depe...

Not sure If this has already been covered so apologies if it has There is no FFP in Div 1 but there is SMCP. Its has a regulation that states you cant spend more than 60 per cent of your income on wages. With a drop in income of around 6m from TV rights our overall Income will drop substantially. Ho...

Clearly most of you have never experienced what its like in the lower divisions

Hi Watched first game v Southampton in I think 1957. Regular since 1962 which was H Bristol City. Probably only missed about 5 or so games at most at home during 60 years. Moved to Chichester, Bristol,Bradford and Manchester but still came back for home games. Had season ticket from around 1974. Vis...

I'm really surprised at the ambivalence on here from some about losing Rino. He works hard, brings energy, bursts forward, has a willingness to tackle and to get the ball and move it on and has been sacrificed to play in many different positions. He may never be a 'star man', but he's always consis...

I would imagine that this coming season, we will be playing with players from the academy mixed with the players that no other Club wanted to take off our hands, and maybe a few loan players. We must be relegation favourites at the Bookies, surely, but then so be it. Drop down a league and find our...

Been going since 1962. Mostly its stressful with the occasional wonderful moments like at Brentford when Cureton scored that goal and Leicester away when we won promotion to the premier. for the first time. I think as a true supporter you don't really have a choice. Irrespective of whatever happens ...

Nothing would surprise me any more but if there are tweets like that out there (or were out there) there is absolutely no way that we wouldn't already know about them. The first we hear of it is unlikely to be from an apology from the club over something no-one seems to have heard of. From what I u...

Southwood Yiadom Morrison McIntyre Rahman Rino Laurent Ince Swift Ejaria Joao Would be my team that I would expect to play on Tuesday. Drinkwater and Dele-Bashiru maybe a shout for CM and LW given the managers preferences recently as well as fitness as others, namely Ejaria. Pauno stated this was t...

Holmes has been sadly exposed as not good enough at this level. At fault for two more goals today it seems I gather he has been offered a new contract which he has yet to sign. He may have made a very big mistake because no one else at this level will come in for him. He cannot start against Bristo...

Just thought you might like to now Adre Bikey has been in intensive care in hospital in Spain with Covid. Last report is that he is slowly improving. Good luck Andre
