In an animated pre match speech before

He described the club as a boat, and that everyone needs to pull together to move it forward.
He proceeded to demonstrate this…

This was clearly a routine worked on in training, look how well Moore does at blocking his man getting to Joao. Great for Pauno that his first goal came straight from training.

This is why you don’t call every player shit just because we are losing, this is why you don’t call the managers decisions poor at half time. Just support the team until the end. Lots of us need to learn this, if we have that attitude in the ground we would never have come back.

could have scored 3 that half. Huddersfield just once. Too many people act like it’s the end of the world because we concede one goal. We are the better team.

When you sign a player you think about their ability. But Tom Ince’s work rate is going to get him a statue in the car park. Don’t think I’ve seen a player run so much, so consistently.
Also Fornah is so slick on the ball, and pings it so nicely.
Love this team!

Does this mean that Noel Hunt is a better manager than Guardiola??
We played actual football today, and the ‘kids’ showed they were always ready.
Cannot believe that is the most we’ve seen from Camara in the league. He is going to the top.

While the squad is even more bare, Puscas, Moore and Rafa covered around 30% of

When you consider Swift will leave in the summer, assuming Puscas and Moore leave, that’s 45%.
The kind of major deduction in spending vital for financial survival.

...in multiple countries. Albeit a small amount for Liverpool, it is rare to find a club that is willing to sacrifice half of a players value, to put the player, and the club who nurtured him first. They have done us a great favour, at a cost to themselves.

Believe Paul Ince has a multi-year deal.
The plan for next season is very much to stay up, and stabilise

The season after should see more financial freedom, where it is expected a team can be built to bid for promotion.

It is my understanding that Couhig & co were working late last night in an attempt to get the takeover paperwork done in time for the deadline; hence such a late statement. There isn't lots left to do.

That’s got to be one of the most entertaining, feel-good games I’ve seen at the SCL for years. Every player worked their absolute socks off, and the fans were fantastic and supportive throughout!

It makes no sense to me why he’d give away a £50 million training ground to Wycombe Wanderers but he can’t lower the asking price for the club to get a sale done. It’s unbelievable 😔 Genuinely feeling sick
#ReadingFC
Only days after Reading owner Dai Yongge said he was “open” to selling the training ground to keep the lights on, he’s done it. The buyers are….Wycombe Wanderers. You can’t blame them (Reading approached them) but it’s insult to injury for Reading fans.

Had it confirmed the Borges deal is off.

prepared to agree a £7.5 million buy clause, but Porto refused. Reading would not be bullied into over paying. We will most likely look for a winger in the prem to loan/ free agent.

An instagram account, clearly just been made with 0 followers and following, has commented racist abuse on Lucas Joao’s latest picture. Presumably because of a lost bet. It is so easy for people to get their hands on a platform and inflict terrible damage and it needs to change.

The issue with this club is not the owners, they aren’t involved with running the club and are willing to spend tens of millions.

Lumley has clearly had a mental capitulation. He has been good for
