Everyone should give him some love. You never know.

All else fails, stick him in a locked room with Doyler for an hour.

I would love to see Armstrong playing in a team with Bayliss, Andreu and Jones. I think it would be goals galore in this league, I should add that I would love to see him here as well as McNulty.

End of the day McNulty will be off. Championship club will be able to offer 3 or 4 times the wage he is getting here so even an improved contract at CCFC won't be anywhere near that. Sorry to say don't blame him you have to look after number 1 and his family...

In case you haven’t heard, he’s got 2 years left on his current deal. We’re not in a position where we have to sell. Are Reading prepared to pay around £1m for him? Probably not because his record outside of L2 isn’t great.

Can championship clubs offer salaries 3/4 times what we pay ? Some like those who have just come down from prem maybe but there’s a lot of big debt in the championship and there are these scmp rules. Look at Villa big support certainly a lot bigger than Reading but have serious money issues

So... Robins either has faith he can change that, or sells him while his stock's high.

I read that as socks not stock's but it's still pretty sound advice.

Think you will find you have to nearly double that. Average in 2006 was around that. Latest deloitte figures I saw had the average around 325k (exc. bonuses) and league 1 70k.

Lots of ex Premiership players on 70k a week, dragging up that average. McNulty would be lucky to get 5.

What’s the turnover difference? Is there that much more TV money in the Champ or is it all speculation in the Prem?

nearly all speculative investment. many clubs running at over 100% of turnover paid out in wages. Large debt to owners - Football finance: Championship club-by-club.
scary stuff no wonder Fisher reckoned we couldn't afford to be in Championship

I think they’ll sell up if we get promoted. Maybe wait until the ground situation is sorted (so about three weeks).

it's a catch 22.
Legal issues aside SISU need promotion to improve chances/price of selling club but Can't really afford to compete in Championship if they can't find buyers.
Looking at Championship debt can't be too many idiots left with big pockets

Never underestimate how many rich idiots there are out there.

I think Sisus original plan was to get us to the Prem but they had a reality check and now would be happy for some other idiots to try that plan while they get out with as much as possible

Let’s face it, secure a home and get back to back promotions and we look pretty appealing to said idiots.

Whilst there are still some people still wanting to buy football clubs, but we are long past the peak of external investment.
Some of the big money from China is drying up, due to their government taking a dim view of such things. They are facing a debt crisis and the impact of a trade war and impact of a strengthening dollar on the back of higher interest rates in the US.
So SISU May be best looking for Americans investors

Reading journo on Twitter seems to think McNulty has been shown round their training ground and Reading were expecting to have a deal done by the end of last week.

Is tapping up not a thing any more?

Sisu should use some of that legal power for good.

It's very difficult to prove whether a player has been tapped up. It would be a bigger waste of time than SISU's constant JR appeals.

Not if it’s reported in the media it’s not!

Why even have the rules if there’s no point in enforcing them? Surely McNultys location data can be pulled to prove if he was at their training ground, emails and call histories can prove if they’ve been in contact.

Just pisses me off that clubs do this, unsettle a player, then you pretty much have to sell.

And the JR has been running for years on essentially a he said/she said (well she said/she said) case.
