  1. I don’t think so they have moved their attention to him and not the club for the advance funding. If they miss a salary day again then that would trigger a points penalty
  2. we see things differently, JJ had an a part for goal 1 and made 2 other opportunities that should/could have been put away. Elder had a part in the 2nd goal
  3. bit concerned that Elder has a significant confidence issue to deal with which won't be helped by last night
  4. Thing is EFL have targeted the owner and not the club currently. It’ll get referred to disciplinary but they’re in a pickle now. He’s not paying the fines and they want to encourage him to go rather than go down the will they or wont they survive the season worry. Who would want to buy Reading at the moment? Nobody in their right mind. Most likely will be admin and 12 points penalty. Realistically the abandoned game was outside the control of the club so punishment will be to play behind closed doors which doesn’t help us. Win win for EFL 😀
  5. See what you did there given we are next up
  6. Would you say he would provide better cover than we have when we play 3 at the back
  7. Nicely done. You do not believe that DC is the right long term owner and I think that is also his opinion. What he wants is reliable and balanced new owners with significant resources and no desire for immediately success. If only there was a local long term fan who’s could fit the bill🤔😀. I had a look at EFL rules for Div1 clubs which are typically vague (what is etc?) but god knows how Reading remain compliant. League One and League Two Clubs follow the Salary Cost Management Protocol (“SCMP”) These state that Clubs can only spend a fixed percentage of its revenue on player wages etc. This limit can also be added to or impacted by equity injections or net transfer spend.
  8. Posh leading Pompey losing
  9. Important but not the only consideration. Opponents tend to double or treble up on him leaving spaces elsewhere. He is also exciting which is something lacking in the rest of the team. For me above average league 1 player and the more we have of these the better our chances
  10. Yep I read the Tory graph were trying to get Blair and starmer enmeshed in this. Clearly the tories have been out of power for decades
  11. Quote from telegraph Adam Crozier, the former chief executive of Royal Mail, would have been aware about the faulty Horizon IT system after it was identified as “problematic” by his technology specialists, an insider has claimed royal mail owned the post office at that time
  12. The point is whether the restriction is purely internal. I think it is and reflects DC’s understandable reluctance to do anything other than be sustainable. Some think it is the EFL that are dictating how much we can spend
  13. But our budget complies with EFL rules for a div1 club. Have the EFL imposed harsher spending rules on us? Would DC have pushed the budget if there was some headroom to the general spending rules?
  14. So it’s either a budget on what DC wants or a budget based on what DC would expect the EFL to be comfortable. Like I said we don’t know whether we are working within external imposed restrictions or not. I don’t think DC is going to do anything that is not business sustainable.
  15. We can’t know for certain but my view is you can’t call them restrictions if we have no intention of breaching them
  16. DCs budget which EFL have approved as not breaching any rules. Happy to be persuaded otherwise but I don’t sense DC would like to spend more.
  17. I don’t think there any restrictions, DC has a budget and is spending what he feels is appropriate. I am not aware that he feels constrained in any way. DC model is slow progress and that is not a criticism. It is his money and he spends it how he wants.
  18. Thought Nelson and cash played their worst games in some time. Looked out of shape but in a 3
  19. Jim, I know the answer now outside Uk there is no country on the black out list
  20. Yep not factual but entertainment
  21. @Anag Rami thought s2 and s3 were great, of course it will be a personal choice but there is nothing to dislike in s3 if you like s2. Latter part of S3 is much more gritty and a different pace to the others though. Closer to the Spooks series’ on BBC
  22. Just finished s3 of slow horses, damn good. Can’t help but think that was the sort of show the beeb used to do. If it did now there would be 15 mins of warnings and disclaimers. All Mankind on apple is very watchable probably peaking with the moon base series
