But I don’t see the same issues there as we have in terms of management and cash flow . Didn’t Reading’s Thai investor who was pals with DC sell up a couple of years ago? Think they’ve got Chinese owners now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading do have financial issues, and this season is pretty much, sh@t or bust, for them They are likely to breach FFP rules if they do not get promoted They though, do have valuable assets they can cash in on if needs be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Typical of Wednesday isn’t it. I mean Leicester get Thai ownership and it completely revamps them as a club (look at their new training ground for instance) making them a top 5 team in England and a recent PL winner. We get Thai ownership and well you know the rest. Nothing against Thai’s by the way just our blinking luck is all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBridgfordowl Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Looks like things aren’t going too well for old Mick at Cardiff. He’s still 25/1 to be our next boss on Skybet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Owl Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 @JOHNHARKES&@thebizzleOr anyone else, do you have anymore new news/information on anything or is it silent? I enjoyed the "ITK" posts, I at least had hope. Now it's all like a wet fart and don't know if Thompson has got it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the market is just going to stay open long enough to pay out on the 10 competitive games rule. As I lumped on in the main on Thompson, I’m quite happy about it. You could still make money on him at his current evens price? He’ll be back to odds on tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
