  1. Considering we beat them 1-0 earlier in the season they I'd assume we'd go down a few places.
  2. The EFL will likely give them a point deduction, which is a joke. When an NBA owner was recorded making a racist comment, the NBA gave him a lifetime ban from any NBA facility (including the club he owned) and forced him to sell the club. The EFL allow people with a history of bankrupting clubs to buy a club, then just sit back and let them bankrupt it. The only punishment they do is points deductions! Imagine you're fantastically wealthy, and fancy being a club owner in the Moldovan Handball Premier League, the most prodigious sports league in the world, where club owners are celebrated business magnates and oil sheiks that you can mingle with at games and do business with and whatever else you want to do. All you have to do is buy a second division Moldovan club, Whittington Town, founded 1892. You throw money and Whittington Town, but you know <ovf censored> all about handball and things go badly. Whittington are in fact relegated and costing you 1% of your wealth annually to keep going. So <ovf censored> it, you stop funding those losers and wash your hands of the whole affair. But wait! The MFL will punish you! They're going to.... deduct points from Whittington Town! Absolute joke.
  3. Pretty much sums them up. Multi-million pound facilities, but no bog roll
  4. He agreed a sale for £50 million late last year, but changed his mind and said he wanted more. Not sure if it was an extra £20 million he wanted. But the owner does seem a bit of a Norman. Not willing to sell until an inflated offer comes in that covers the cost of his moronic half-arsed financial mismanagement. The infrastructure at Reading is supposedly Premier League standard, not that that is anything to do with the current owner.
  5. Seeing as they obviously won't count 16 minutes as enough of the game to count as complete, then the match will be replayed or continued from 16 minutes, as per regulations.
  6. Dunno why you're arguing about FA rules. The EFL run League One. FA rules don't enter into it. Standard operating procedure would be for the match to be re-arranged, even if we were "winning" 0-0 after 16 minutes. The cause of the abandonment is irrelevant. I do remember some South American game got abandoned on something like 85 minutes and the authorities there ordered that the two teams return a few days later to play the remaining 5 minutes. So really anything could happen, but the standard procedure would be to rearrange the game. Behind closed doors would be prudent. Perhaps only away fans could be permitted entry, though maybe most wouldn't fancy making the trip anyway with it being quite out of the way from a Staffordshire perspective.
  7. That's the Reading squad list. Who signed all those players? tbf the owner has a £45 million mansion next to Buckingham Palace. He can afford to pay the club's bills. He just doesn't want to. Don't really get the arguement of "he put millions into the club" at the start. If some billionaire took over your workplace, wasted millions, then your wages weren't being paid as you waited for the place to be shut down, you probably wouldn't say "fair play, he put money in before" as he sits in his mansion and chinwags with King Charles over the garden fence.
  8. I believe the Reading protesters were saying something similar
  9. Reading's owner has got the club deducted 16 points in the last three seasons. They'll be deducted more when the obcensenly wealthy owner's cheques continue to bounce. I think tbh Reading fans are more concerned about their 152 year old football club being ran into non-existence by a man who has done it multiple times with other clubs than the fact their protest has cost Vale fans the chance to see a football match this afternoon
  10. Good to have picked up a clean sheet at least
  11. Maybe they'll install an owner with a history of leading football clubs to bankruptcy? Oh wait
  12. Perhaps one of the top 50 if it's just English goalkeepers
  13. No hate towards Reading for me, but if I had to name one club as uninspiring it would be Reading. I hope they manage to save the club and they go on to do something inspirational
  14. Paterson has spent the last five-and-a-half years coaching at moved into coaching with Tampa Bay Rowdies, Fort Lauderdale, Inter Miami, Barnsley and Swansea City. I don't know what they've seen on him, but managers have to be given a first job somewhere. Burton have a history of giving excellent managers their first big job. Having said that, not a name I ever expected to go into management and it wouldn't be a surprise if it doesn't go well.
  15. By the time Andy Jones was 25 we'd sold him to Charlton and they were pestering us to see if we'd take him back!
  16. He joined Brighton on a three year deal in 2020 and there's been no news reports of him signing another contract. He must have done though else he'd be a free agent now.
  17. Indeed. 22 this month and only played at League One level, so Brighton are probably okay with letting him go for free in the summer. We want good League One performers, even if Brighton are far above that these days.
  18. Lee Harwood (footballer) - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG There we go, poor fella had a bad knee injury
  19. https://www.weareimps.com/news/2024/january/shodipo-and-vale-leave-imps/ Former loanee Olamide Shodipo has been released from Lincoln, as has Jack Vale. Vale sign Vale? With a name like that we've got to make it happen!
  20. It took ten months for the Danny Ings tribunal to be settled. So I guess expect it to be concluded anytime before the start of next season.
  21. I googled "<ovf censored> football manager Wikipedia" to see if there is one available. Google came up with an interesting related question!
  22. Yeah the podcast guys were surprised how the stats sites said he was our best player
  23. The club should have a medium to long term focus this window. Next season likely Stockport and Wrexham are coming up, Rotherham will come down and always do well. There will be four poor teams that will be relegated from League One this season, because as we've demonstrated you don't need to be that good to find yourself some way clear of the drop. That might not be the case next season.
  24. Not really. He covers a few positions we need cover and competition in, he's out of favour at the club he's at, and he's local. We may well sign someone else, who may be better or may be worse than Gibbons
  25. The Irish leagues are semi-professional. Here is the UEFA coefficient rankings: https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/country/#/yr/2024 35th of 55, below Kosovo and Kazakhstan. Northern Ireland is below that. League champions Shamrock got twatted 6-0 in the second qualifying round for the UEFA Conference league. Probably a little over saturated in terms of scouting, but I guess we can't be sending blokes out to Kosovo to watch games
