That's game over. Players can't even train now.

Worth STAR not messing about with a phoenix club - Wimbledon started forming their phoenix on the 30th of May and 2 weeks later had everything in place to compete in 02-03.

All of Reading City, Rams RFC's and Palmer Park (may be easier to organise as council owned) grounds are suitable for the first few tiers, so should probably be contacted for a potential phoenix ground share. Interestingly if we get dropped in at the 10th tier we'll be at the same level as the ambulance chasing reading city twats.

Best case now is that the branding gets sold off to some not very rich benefactor, but after the past decade I'm tired of benefactors, better to go fan-owned.

I've never actually believed that we'd fold. But if this Wycombe stuff is true, then I can't see any coming back from it. Fuck. :(

Can`t sleep, I`ve always had hope, but this could finally be it.

How the fuck can Wycombe wanderers afford a £50m training facility?

Whilst it's not great news to hear, we don't know if this group was anywhere near a deal.

Are they the front runners? Or one of the other groups.

Why does the announcement make them walk away? Is it the potential sale, or simply not trusting Dai now?

Could it just be cover as they know they won't succeed so walk away on own terms and make a song and dance about it.

Can't sleep :lol:

I think you need to go and see someone if football is causing you to not sleep, you need psychological help.

Now the club really is worth £1 then. Loss making entity with no stadium or training ground. I hope Wycombe can afford to run it as there won't be a Reading FC to give them rent next season.

I've been sympathetic to Bowen, Howe and other staff, but they're helping take us for mugs. Look at all the fundraising efforts of the past week, with fans and local businesses mucking in to help. All counts for nowt if Dai's not selling. Do we really believe the cashflow situation will be better in April as reported?

We're all being lied to. I did contribute some tickets through EPR's plan, but I'm not giving a penny more until Dai is gone. I'll save it to help invest it the phoenix.

If you are silly enough to give your money away like that then you kinda deserve what you get.

There are many worse football clubs out there than Wycombe, they are a decent well run club and the owners have taken an opportunity to invest in their future. Nobody can blame them.

Wouldn't be against amalgamating with them to be honest.

Same thing happened at Bolton. Wigan bought Bolton's 'state of the art' training ground.
We got over it with help from Eddie, Ken and Mike James but its going to be tougher for Reading without an Eddie Davies.
