Sheff weds been the second score I look for each week since DM went there so I enjoyed the last few days

Listening to various interviews with weds players over past 2 weeks they really loyal to Darren. And he comes over really well in his media appearances too. Coming back from 4-0 and 5-4 and then winning at Wembley the manager has to get a LOT of credit...Darren might be heading for great things, certainly hope so

Congrats to Big Dave and Sheff Wed.

Next season will be a tough slog for them in the champo. Might I be so bold to suggest they bolster their ranks with a former Owls legend by the name of Adam Reach on a 3 year deal.

Would be a dream return

I think they will finish close to where we finish in 23-24....in mid table

Scarily it transpires that the Madjeski (or whatever its called this week), was sold to Renhe Sports

Renhe Sports Management Co Limited is owned directly by Readings new Chinese shareholders.

There is always someone worse off than us ! Not that its much solace.

They sound like they are going through a hell worse tha. Lai possibly

In further bad news for Reading there seems to be a deal agreed for a Â£50m takeover by William Storey, Those of you not familiar with William Storey he is a failed businessman, one of his businesses Rich Energy failed with assets of Â£1.7k and unsecured debts of Â£60m. He has been called a liar by a High Court judge and has from time to time popped up as a potential bidder for troubled football clubs.

This won't happen it is a complete waste of everyone's time and is a measure of how desperate Reading's plight is. While we are number of steps away from being in this position ourselves unless we get a serious bid in the next 12 months we will be a lot closer to being the target for absolute chancers such as Storey.

Reports that it was forced to land due to the weight of it's passenger are said to be wide of the mark.

Yeah, saw it on the highlights show. The Wycombe manger was really angry; claiming a foul on the keeper! That's never a foul, manager should be having words with his keeper for going down so softly...pathetic.

Saw that Barnsley one the other night, terrible

However looks at these 3goals conceded by Notts County in 1 game.

Never seen such awful defending in a professional game.

Cheers Gaz. Just had a traumatic flashback to September 14th 2022 which in turn brought me back to Leicester's second goal yesterday. I might just go back to bed and call it quits for today

That's a double whammy of diabolical defending that can send anyone over the edge, rest up warm Dan!

This guy was tipped to do well a few years back wasn't he?

@ReadingFC
The club can today confirm Ovie Ejaria has left the club by mutual consent.

Weâ€™d like to thank Ovie for his contributions, and wish him well for the rest of his career.

Yes, sacked 6 games into his management career! Apparently it was because he laid into his team, said something along the lines of "too many babies". He did admit that he went "too far" with his comments.

Yeah I saw his comments, they made me laugh but I guess most people won't accept them from a professional manager.
