Word has it Reading are hosed.

Anton's dad gave both his sons £25m to invest and Anton thought a football club was a good idea. He pissed all his cash away and his dad's both refusing to lend him more and refusing to let him even return to England and the club.

Madejski is furious as he happily agreed to the delay on the remaining 50% purchase as he was told daddy has loads of cash and it would be coming, then Anton fled and they've told the club no more money will be made available and thus paying wages in Jan will be an issue. Anton overlooked all the transfers, excluding Madejski from talks, so we have people like Pog and Drenthe on the books now who are both clocking almost £60k a week.

We're now looking to find anyone to buy the club or at least Anton's 51% and word has it the investors from Oman are interested.

How the gently caress does someone on daddy's credit card pass a fit and proper test. What an absolute shambles if true.

The "fit & proper test" is clearly an absolute joke, why are there no repercussions at the FA for allowing a stream of dodgy owners to destroy clubs?

It's crazy how many awful foreign owners teams have had recently. Anton hasn't even set foot in Britain since August.

Word has it our new part owner would be the sultanate of Oman, who's a lovely guy who was schooled at Sandringham, helped broker the recent Iran talks, etc. Sounds lovely and all, but he has no involvement in sport or company directorship in his past.

I mean I guess after the humiliation that was today's game it makes sense but I'm still shocked that they'd pull the trigger on the Lomas Experiment so quickly

He's not done a good job but it's been six months and because the oval office spent all the loving money already it's hard to see what a new boss will be able to do. The list of candidates is grim; Neil Harris as overwhelming favourite which would just be throwing a legend to the wolves because he's not turning around poo poo, some League One bosses like Karl Robinson and Russell Slade who aren't leaving their current clubs, and a bunch of unrealistic names like Holloway, Coyle, Wise, Zola, etc. (most of whom would flop because they won't have the resources). Michael Appleton is the other realistic name with reasonable odds and lol gently caress that.

No one at QPR has been taught to play the whistle, apparently

edit: oh ok apparently the linesman was flagging. Still no excuse if there's no whistle but it makes a little more sense

So apparently we can set-up in an attacking manner under Freedman. Maybe we should do that against teams that aren't better than us in future...

This time last year we went from 20th to within goal difference of the play-offs. Don't see that happening again tbh, but I really hope we beat Boro today so I can get that taste of delicious false hope back!

I don't think you'll beat us today we have three wins on the bounce with clean sheets to match. Also you're financially utterly hosed haha.

I went to boro and they'd sold out of parmos in buns before halftime. :(

We're playing quite awfully at the moment. Billy Sharp's gone back to Saints, ALF is sick of not playing so is likely off too, nobody will likely come in either. Our season currently feels like that moment you kick a ball up, it reaches the zenith and then slowly starts to fall.

*EDIT* Apparently an American consortium are making an offer to 100% purchase Reading and it should be in tomorrow. Looks like we will have new owners in one shape or another by the end of Jan, so may be able to buy players.
