"John Madejski has resumed control of Reading Football Club" Looks like rather than the Russian selling to rich people from Oman or USA he sold his shares back to Madejski.

If you read royals.org, there are those who want to see him let go because he's not an Abu Dhabi sugar daddy throwing cash about to take the club to the next level. But he stepped in when the club was in trouble, and the club wouldn't be where it is today if not for him. He's put in money where it's made sense, and the last decade has been the club's most successful period. He brought the club because he thought saving it was the right thing for the community (I believe the story is that he wasn't even in to football) and he now genuinely cares for the club. His wealth isn't what it used to be, and his emotional attachment to the club is probably part of the reason he wasn't walked away. He has no heirs, so I reckon he should denote ownership to the community.

Having a Madejski or a Delia is better than getting involved with the foreign owner lottery. They might not have the money to piss up the wall but at least they won't do anything mental.

It's even better for us because Madejski isn't insane/a drunk

lol point well made. But still I'd take the odd drunken on pitch speech over Venkys, Tan, whoever the gently caress owns Leeds, that Hull guy or worst of all, Americans.

Madejski is a fantastic owner and has been great for Reading as a town. He's apparently a nice bloke too, I remember reading a story somewhere about how a fan invited him to his wedding and he turned up to the reception, drank some pints and had a dance.

He's getting sacked anyway once the Football League decide merely being investigated for embezzlement is acceptable and you can own the club anyway if you're convicted

It was (is?) seriously a rule where you're banned from being in charge of a club if they've gone into administration twice with you in charge
