The Blackpool very different, the payments to the Oyston family were reported in the accounts, all above board and not illegal, but clearly showing how they saw their investment. They also sold land to themselves and sold it back to the club at a premium. Their path is clear, milk every last penny out now that they got to the golden goose.

Reading fans have been too lucky for too long, about time they shared in the suffering. Having said that, some clubs just seem to be able to fall down the shitter, like Bormuff, and come up smelling of roses. |

That's very true Reg. I am not sure you can bounce back from that level of debt though. |

Guess I'll have to find another club to grumpily moan that "it could have been us" about..
Oh, wait, Swansea...

So true. Since Madejski first arrived, they've had such an easy ride. |

But they got that song though. Even when they're sinking down the leagues and losing fans, that song will see them through the tough times.

Speaking of "that song", who remembers this?

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Does anyone actually believe that China can become as footballing powerhouse? Its starting to get a bit silly now. Oscar and Tevez for over 500k a week and now it appears one of the Chinese teams are after Rolando and are willing to give him over a million a week. I'd highly unlikely that nothing will materialise but still, the worlds gone mad.
