Deadline Day

Or just pretend that FFP doesn't apply to you???

Just been on Talk Sport that Reading have just signed Scott Dann & Danny Drinkwater and are now trying to sign Andy Carroll.

None of them will be on low wages. Where has all that money come from?

If I remember correctly, Reading were shown to be overspending and reporting massive 'rolling' annual losses for the past few seasons and are still operating under a transfer embargo.

Reading are still over spending to get to the pot of gold that is the Prem. If they get there they get to milk the cash cow for a year then decend with a parachute payment that will clear the debt. They'll then negociate a reduced fine with the EFL and get appointed on that board so they know how to cheat better the next time round!

There's interview with Paul Jewell doing the rounds who was managing Wigan at the time of the Tevez Masherano transfer saga that ended in a court case with SUFC.
He said he had a Prem official in his office and said to him that if it was Wigan or a Watford who had done this then there would have been instant relegation or huge points deduction that meant the same thing. The Prem official agreed and admitted that some clubs are favoured considerably because of their standing and traditions
He said the tactic was to hope WHU got themselves relegated by normal means and then hit them with the fine. Unfortunatley WHU kept winning and saved themselves including a last match win at Old Trafford with the winning goal by.....Carlos Tevez

From Rob Staton on twitter:

Hearing Rotherham and Charlton are interested in Will Grigg #RUFC

Judas
Grigg was born into an Aston Villa-supporting family and supported the club up until the age of seven, when he joined Birmingham City and changed his allegiances

Gut instinct says it better not be Wes. Captain of the future.

What a bit of business that would be if it was him.

People have been publicly flogged for much less

[millertop]

Tilt hardly played for us so even though I want to see him in the team I won’t be upset too much
Sadlier I won’t miss
Angus will be a loss imo
Barlaser I will be fuming

That’s just four who I’m guessing
