I would expect that we are not paying Bouzanis or Jokull's wages this season, probably covered by loans. I don't think (paying wages for) 3 goalkeepers is that excessive either, especially as one is only young academy player. Certainly not a cause for our problems. A backup keeper at this...

23 separate transactions in a year with agents is a lot, no? Unfortunately in football you cannot avoid them. Imagine if you averaged out to an agent fee per transaction we wouldn’t be far from average. I know for incomings last season we were limited to around half the market average for...

I also have all of the data together to work out who made the best predictions in the Summer... May have to remind me after the final round of games. Let me know if you want to be taken off the final rankings! :err:

Is the collective intelligence of TFF accurate at predicting the league one table? .. Here's the average league table predictions from the Summer across all 36 people who predicted 1-24s; 1 Derby (2.28) 2 Bolton (3.11) --------------------- 3 Portsmouth (3.83) 4 Blackpool...

Was not sure whether to talk about our situation with takeover still ongoing, but seen it pointed out that we'll either be taken over and in League One next season, or not been taken over and won't see out next season.. In Contract: Goalkeepers- David Button, Dean Bouzanis, Jokull Andresson...

Seen a lot of comments like this on this forum, not sure where all of the sour grapes has come from. Clearly someone who has no idea on our situation, or on agent fees. A more simple explanation on Agent Fees: Most of our agent fees will likely come from our Player Sales. We have made over...

FACT: Reading's away attendances are shit

Everything I have said is fact, but keep insulting me if it makes you feel any better.

QPRs allocation is a fair bit bigger than 1800...

Our away attendances are shit.. no need to mention it every time. Yours a hardly the greatest either. Given league positions and timings - no worse than the 1800 you took to QPR last Saturday? And let's not mention the 400 you took to a top of the table clash with Sheffield United a few weeks ago.

Season rating? 4/10. After finishing last season only two penalties away from the Prem, and then going on to spend the most money in our history (and amongst the highest in the league) to be out of the play-off picture halfway gone is terrible. I wasn't expecting us to make the play-offs...

All we can hope for is a reversal of the game at the Madejski, and as the away team try and nick a goal to win it as Bristol City did to us earlier in the season. Although this should be a fairly routine victory for them. Very much doubt this will be Stam's last game if we lose. We've lost our...

I know! I'm already planning the holiday that I intend to pay for from my bet winnings from a bet in October of Joe Bryan being a part of England's World Cup squad in Russia. I thank the Bristol City fans on here for their guidance.

Stam has said that we won't have much money to spend in January.. well and truly wasted our large budget in the Summer Strong rumours of Liam Moore leaving, linked with Celtic, Stoke and West Ham. Hopefully we can hold out for £10m if true. Our defence would fall to even more pieces without him.

Putting in our worst performance of the season in front of a sold out Madejski.. not really going to help his cause. Surely he must be close, like Sheffield Wednesday we had similar ambitions of promotion, yet we sit 1 goal difference above them. My issue though would be that our whole set-up...

"It is believed an estimated 3,000 tickets remain unsold for the clash against Huddersfield Town at Wembley on Monday (3pm ko). Reading's initial allocation of 38,000 was increased slightly earlier this week, and a number are still available to buy before this afternoon's deadline."...

Two attendance figures that you can't provide any proof of... I'll help you out from a Reading point of view.. http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/15311614.Reading_FC__Wembley_play_off_final_tickets_on_general_sale_until_3pm_today/ "It is believed an estimated 3,000 tickets remain unsold...

And the proof that we only sold 25k? (15k less than 40k) I'm not necessarily doubting your sales, I'm doubting your statement of selling 15k more...

Prove it then? If you are going to quote this as fact, you must have a source to claim as much. All I could find in quick searching was Bristol City had announced sales of 37k after a few days of sales (with general sales). Reading announced 29k sold after the first day of sales (no general...

JJH, now you're making up statistics to try and prove your point.. How did you manage to get 15k more fans to Wembley than us, considering your full allocation was 39k? It was never announced how many tickets we sold, other than 32k sold after 48 hours, and was members only / not general sale...
