I mean I'm not sure he caused their full demise they did have a poor spell on consecutive seasons. Is a shame that the early premier league teams have dropped down the tables but such is football someone has to fill the lower leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Reading fans are doing a great job there and have the right attitude towards what's happening. They show up our fanbase completely. The reaction, or complete lack of, from so called fans of this club is completely and utterly pathetic. We did all that, and more. It fell on deaf ears or we were lambasted by the football community for being ungrateful (and racist, if I recall). It's difficult to influence your owners when they're insulated from the fans by thousands of miles and millions of pounds. If our losses were truly hurting their bottom line they'd have wound us up or sold us by now. The Reading owner clearly wants rid and doesn't need the hassle. A massive difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 12 years ago though. For the last 7 years at least there's just been a deafening silence. The way this fanbase just allows the club to control the narrative is criminal. If the owners don't pay attention then it's up to us the fans to make them pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not until the Wharton money (and subsequent sell on) dries up, when (assuming Venkys still refuse to send any money over) bills and obligations start to go unpaid and the administrators are called in. But as long as obligations are being met, they couldn't give a flying whatsit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Football authorities aren't going to forced Venkys sell it cos they weren't invest money into the club like we all want. That is what your post doesn't take into situation with the war and without getting too much into that money from the sale of Chelsea is still stuck in the bank and our situation with the Venkys which is utter and completely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) All falling flat on its face this mass protest Malarky isn't it folks? Initial Fan anger covertly subdued (timely King Kenny appearance anyone? ),blame being cleverly diverted onto the departed Eustace,just watch abuse being orchastrated at him by Club 'plants' come the Derby Game....only needs a few and the rest will follow. Eustace = Bad Man,control the narrative and then let matters blow over. Job done by Swaghail,Season after Season the same Shit being played out before an apathetic fan base.They know damn well they can get away with it at Ewood. Rinse and Repeat.

Eustace = Bad Man,control the narrative. Job done by Swaghail. I think the main issue here is people not wanting to disrupt the players, while they still have a chance. And-despite my own belief that Venky's out is all that matters-I think that position is understandable. The trouble is that Eustace's own behaviour has itself diverted some of the anger. I don't think Swag et al deserve much credit for their feeble propaganda attempts. That pathetic club statement was hardly Goebbels, after all! We all know that there is no point in trying to organise a matchday protest, while the players need support. As soon as it starts to look hopeless, matchday protests will have a bit more buy-in...Then, it will require proper, hearts and minds leadership., especially as the fanbase remains split with much of it supine... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simongarnerisgod Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 you can`t expect protests from fans when the club is near the top six,it simply is`nt going to happen it could get testy next season if the club sell what playing assets they still have this summer,replace them with shite and we are in the bottom three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
