Can someone enlighten me on why the Reading fans are protesting against the owner? Like what's he done?

Is he someone from the Smurthwaite playbook - ie buy the club with no intention of improving it, sell any half decent players, everything done on the cheap etc?

Fundamentally the club spent money they didn't have, now both he and the club have run out of money.  I don't have a lot of sympathy with either the club or the fans over the way they shafted us with the John Clarke transfer 2 years ago. They made approaches to the player behind the clubs back. Didn’t see their fans complaining about the morality of it. Vale ended up cutting their losses and letting him move. They have invested millions in infrastructure (training facilities) they can't afford to repay in league 1.

Youth team leftback and now Republic of Ireland under 19 international. Player a few games last season for Reading, then got a bad injury.

Edited by JRC

I'd forgotten about John Clarke.

Youth team left back. Probably the standout performer for the team during his time here.

Just seen he's made 3 Championship appearances last season but hasn't played this season. 19 years old now.

Ok this is not another moaner, just a bit odd that shorrock isn’t even on the bench, I thought he was the best of the young uns.

Wonder what side will turn up - the charity side or the ruthless side who takes all three points and scores a hat full?

Radio sjoke just said the game may be stopped and played behind closed doors later tonight due to the Reading fans planning pitch invasions to get the game abandoned.  Feel sorry for the Vale fans who have travelled down to watch the game.  Why not just stop the Reading fans getting in and allow the Vale fans in to watch the game.

Bench is so weak, if we fall behind there aren’t many good options on there. Not sure why Sang is left out. 

Cass on the bench - presumably because of a lack of defensive cover than any transfer-related psychology.

That just shows we need a few more through the door yet

Shows we need a good transfer window and bring some better players in.  Injuries have taken their toll on this side.  But not going to hold my breath we get a good transfer window.  We don't usually.
