Rubbing salt in if he goes to one of our old rivals!

Rivalry to be renewed next season if we go up and they come down. Now that would be interesting.

Putting myself in their place I'd be nervous of the baggage and the lack of experience, but we all know the good side of PDC and it depends which out weighs on that issue.

The story ain't about the has been known as pdc,everyone needs to move on.
Kevin has got some important decisions to make and he's clearly keeping things under his hat,it's nice to see he's clearly thinking about the next few games and the championship we need some experience to get us through the next ten games not youngsters,but clearly we need to be moving down that route if we get into the championship but short term we need to get their first with good solid players.

Under embargo, possible administration, investor no longer wanted the club. He was basically forced out. He turned this club around, gave back the pride and passion. Hopefully KM has the personality and motivation skills to continue Paolos great work.

Where did you get the £20k figure from? Who do you think we owe it to?

As Mushy said the article is about our efforts tp bring in loan signings not the future of PDC.

Don't see it matters which day the embargo is lifted now, but have to admit to keep on reading the same old twaddle of today or tomorrow is getting a bit old hat now. As no new players available for tonight and we don't have a game for 7 days as long as it gets sorted this week in time to prepare for the Yeovil match, fine, but I can't help thinking it's a little too late for us as valuable home points have been squandered this season, we haven't been able to play anywhere near as good as we were leading up to the Christmas period and that must be attribruted to a depleated squad due to the embargo and injuries.

Can only hope for the best, but with a seriously under strength team selection playing for their new manager I wouldn't put any money on a win. The formation and tactics on Saturday seemed out of balance with no real threat down the right, Huge blow to us if Nathan isn't fit, don't think we'll miss Miller as much, If macca goes to right back, I'd rather see Louis Thompson play in the centre instead of Navarro who looks unfit and certainly isn't getting any better.

Just want to get this out the way now and hope we don't lose ground on the rest of the top 6.

I believe the 20k has already been paid.

Interesting though when Jed was asked by BBC Wilts on Saturday about the embargo he just said that he leaves that to his lawyers. Just dodged the question.

No, I don't have time to read articles on this forum every day. I just remember from last week the embargo was due to money we owed to Shrewsbury? Is there another reason now?

Good luck to the bloke, although I still hope Reading are relegated. That's more down to local rivalry than any resentment towards Paolo, though.

And he kept telling us about his principles etc. thought this might include not going to a local rival. Now we see him for what he truly is. A deserter, with principles eroding by the day.

Hi Med Red, Here is the Q & A section from Saturday that should help. 2:09pm MONEY OWED ON TRANSFERS AND STAFF Steve Murrall and Gary Hooper were of course asked about the transfer embargo currently on the club, the reasons for it, and when it will be lifted. SM: “We don’t owe Shrewsbury anything as we paid them this week, and we have some others that need to be paid and we are in the process of doing that. "That will lift the embargo, but when we took over, outside of our initial investment the Football League demanded £1.2million was put in an account to be ring-fenced in relation to the embargo. "We didn’t have that in loose change, so we had to arrange that which should be done in the next few days. Hopefully by Monday, or 24 hours later to give me a break, I am confident we will be out of embargo. Paying football clubs is all taken care of and all fine.

I'm with you on that, my mum's from Reading and keeps threatening to buy my son a Reading kit, who I've been taking to see the Town since he was three. The only reason she hasn't bought it yet is that she believes me when I say it will be instantly set on fire. I remember away days at Elm Park, they're a chavvy load of scumbags. In fact I remember one game they were coming over the fence into our terrace and the police were on the pitch trying to stop them. Ref didn't stop the game and Reading broke through and scored. Sh1tbags. Would love to see Paolo take them down.

Thanks Oldham. £1.2million is a fair chunk of cash. Is this to cover further outstanding debts, or are the FL just making sure Jed and chums have sufficient money to run the club?

Yep. I think we signed him from them. He might have been playing for us that night. I don't remember much of his time with us but I do recall him getting a hat trick in the first 12 minutes of a game against Bournemouth.

There's a good chance they are not the Black/Arrib millionaires types, and I suspect they are pretty green at this level of investment in football. So any investment or financial decision is possibly bounced around the board for ratification.
I would personally prefer this if this is the case, than promising the world and just saying what people want to hear.
I think we are going to a poor or average type financial club again.

I think us supporters believe promotion is a strong possibility, however, not to sure the new board are that fussed. Don't seem to be taking much action to remove the embargo.

Point taken Super reds, but in fairness the loanee content is just a revamp of yesterdays old news and many on here are sick of the same old, same old news about nothing, the fact the Italian is favourite to get the job at Reading is news worthy, but if their board listen to their fans he won't get the job, 78% against is a huge amount of protest votes, I've been on their hob nob forum, many are confused about his political views, some disgusted how he jumped ship and left us in the mire and a few that just think he is barking mad and after a gentleman like McDermott as manager anybody coming from the opposite end of the spectrum will be too much for them to take. I don't care if he gets the job or not, he walked out on us when we needed leadership and his popularity went from high to low in record time, as other have said before me he would have been a good captain for the Concordia, a first into life boats characteristic is all about me, me, me. so agree with you good riddance

In addition to losing our wealthy owners, manager, backroom team and star player, we also 'lost' loanees Bostock, Martin and Hollands, and let Pack, Green and BWP slip through our grasp. That's the level of loan player we need and we need them fast.

There does seem to be a lack of urgency although appreciate owners don't have £1.2m in small change lying around. Does make you wonder though when all the ratification process was dragging on for a month. Was it not flagged then?

And is this a new level of intervention by the Football League?? How many other clubs are under embargo unless they have deposited funds and 'ringfenced' the rest of the season's budget? I doubt if many - or any - otherwise they wouldn't be in business, given most post losses. Stinks of our friends at the FL making one rule for us.

This is not the time to be experimenting with Premier League fledglings, giving others playing experience, or having to bring people up to fitness.

In addition to losing our wealthy owners, manager, backroom team and star player, we also 'lost' loanees Bostock, Martin and Hollands, and let Pack, Green and BWP slip through our grasp. That's the level of loan player we need and we need them fast.

I don't that but it makes you worried about the finances.

Do think we have thrown away a good chance at automatic promotion.

As for PDC.... why all the angst.... As I said before... wow he got us out of the 2nd Div with the biggest budget.

Humiliated our best player (Wes) and carried on like a spoilt brat.

As a manager you have to manage with what you've got sometime (in any job). He couldn't cope.

At Wembley he failed with team selection and to raise the team.

Any bigger club picking him up would be taking a big gamble.

I remember Reading fans setting fire to their own flag on the Shrivenham Road side when we pasted them about 4-0 in an evening game.

Pat Terry too ? played for both clubs.

Yep. I think we signed him from them. He might have been playing for us that night. I don't remember much of his time with us but I do recall him getting a hat trick in the first 12 minutes of a game against Bournemouth.

Didn't King and Wilson both get us into the Div 1 playoffs with less money than Di Canio.

McMahon won League 2.

Think we need some perspective on Di Canio.


If he had taken us into Championship then fair do's!

Reading... well.... it wouldn't be long until he had his tantrums there!

Yes Greenml they did. Andy King did it with the players sometimes not being payed. Danny Wilsons play off team included, Austin,Richie,Ferry,

Caddis,Douglas we had a much better side then than we have now. Fodringham ,Ward and poss Macca would be the only one of PDC signings to get into Wilsons team.
