Owners gone, no prospect of new ones and owe millions to HMRC.

Something is coming home to roost!

He has reportedly lost over £300 million of his original £400 million fortune. He has wanted out for some time and I am guessing thought the Russians were his ticket out

Russians pulling out, eh?

Let's hope it spreads to the south coast.

I'm just a jealous guy!

Madejski has basically been left holding the baby after Zingarevich turned out not to be the sugar daddy they were all expecting.  There's a good summary at the link below.

Zingarevich: The 'Dream Ticket' who turned out to be a Nightmare for Reading FC (http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/zingarevich-dream-ticket-who-turned-7207377)

I don't think they're in immediate danger of collapse (glass houses, etc.), but it does seem a long way now from the (recent) days when talked of 'international expansion', expanding their stadium to hold 38,000 and looking to extend their local reach to Swindon, Oxford etc.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.  Remember people, you're Reading FC.  Not ####ing Barcelona.

I think their reach is already here between them and Saints hoovering up all the young talent. There are also some plastic shirts around now whereas years ago there were none to be seen.

Newbury and Thatcham used to be pretty even in numbers 20 years ago in relation to visible fanbase, not now though.
