Hi Ed

Update on TSI takeover of Reading.

Daily Mail have been putting an article together for a week and it is in tomorrows paper, online right now.

Anton Zingarevich is the sole investor.
Chris Samuelson will be a director.
Andrew Obolensky is the nephew of a prince is also a director.

Samuelson admits AZ's father Boris Zingarevich, a billionaire business man, will provide investment if required.

BUT

Reading will remain a prudently ran football club. They appreciate the Fair Play rules coming in which will make football far more competitive, and see Stoke as the ideal template to follow - not buying the league like Man City or acting foolishly like QPR.

It may still be weeks away, it's all down to the PL now, but will go through shortly.

An ambitious 4 Million bid for Defoe,
A 5 Million bid for Hoillett 1 Million for the fact who ever gets him will pay the fee as he's been at blackburn since he was 13 4 million so they can talk to him and agree a contact without worrying about Arsenal or Tottenham...

Paul Coutts from Preston to Peterborough

12 May 2012 22:00:32
There is a lot of BS on this site, as a Watford fan I know we will sign unknown young talent who are hungry, I would take a 20 year old leauge 1 or 2 striker over a 26 year old over paid ex prem leauge player any day of the week.

12 May 2012 21:30:16
Norwich have not got the same youth set up as leeds we have better, injoy 2nd tier you will be ther a good while yet

Really, players Leeds that graduated from the academy: Aaron Lennon, James Milner, Paul Robinson, Alan smith, Harry kewell, Fabian Delph, Scott Carson, johnny howson etc most current or past internationals, and the under 18's just finished 2nd in the youth league so don't think yours is better, so your in the premiership for now and were not a big club no more but has your club ever won the top league or a FA cup or even played in Europe, I know where not a big club but we have :) shouldn't laugh at the teams below you coz tables can quickly turn and for your cockiness your club will get laughed at when you get relegated from the premiership, again

Id agree im a wolves fan n leeds academy is one of the best in the country i mean wolves academy is better than norwichs one

12 May 2012 21:26:55

12 May 2012 20:37:05
We at barnsley do not need ranger we need someone who can score the odd goal. So ranger can go back to newcastle. Ha ha

12 May 2012 20:33:01
Gylfi Sigurdsson interesting Man Utd in a 10m deal as they look to add creativity to the midfield.

12 May 2012 19:07:57
Carl Fletcher is going to use is Welsh connections to try and get some new blood for next season . His first signing will be Robert Earnshaw . I alson hear that an ex Welsh international defender has agreed to join Argyle next season .

12 May 2012 18:54:58
With the off-field problems at Cardiff City I have it on good authority Malky Mackay will be looking at free transfers until it's all settled. The owners are flying in for a meeting which will hopefully bring some good news for the Bluebirds.

Players interesting Malky:

Clayton
Lewis (Heaton set to move to Sheffield Wednesday on a free)
Butterfield
Fuller

If he gets the financial backing reports suggested he is set to bid for:

Becchio

When will the penny drop with you Cardiff fans while you are loosing 1.2 mill a month there will be no money for new players just frees

12 May 2012 18:52:08
Marcos senna to Swansea city for £1.2m!

Too old, not the player he was. And after turning the Swans down last pre-season can't see this one happening at all.

12 May 2012 18:45:37

12 May 2012 18:32:40
Please can a club sign Alan smith so it gets the idea out of the heads of a few fellow deluded Leeds fans that want him back and thought he played "superb" today, such a terrible player, maybe do a job for Bradford park avenue tho

12 May 2012 18:23:46
Ipswich will announce 2 free transfer signings this week. I am not 100% sure on the names but it is thought to be Williams from Colchester and Heaton from Cardiff. They are also close to agreeing a fee with Hartlepool for Luke James.

12 May 2012 17:53:27
Why would division 1 winners Ross County not be in your SPL next season, and why would 4th placed Hamilton be in it if Ranger are relegated. Maximus needs reality check. No money in Scottish football, thats why its so bad.

12 May 2012 17:50:42
Regarding your SPL prediction for next season, why are the Scottish Division 1 winners Ross County not in it, and why would 4th placed Hamilton be there?

12 May 2012 17:31:45
doesnt anyone think that fraser forster is in with a chance of the third keepers spot, performed superbly for cltic all season and looks a really good talent for the future

Yeah cause its a rubbish league thats why play in the prem its way different hart ruddy n stockdale should go

12 May 2012 17:26:59
Derby County's Ben Davies has come to an agreement on a contract with Shrewsbury Town.

The player is no longer needed by Clough and Davies has stated that he "has unfinished business" at Shrewsbury.

12 May 2012 16:44:38
Steve Tilson is set to become Gillingham's new manager after he fits the bill to what the chairman is looking for,a manager who has more experience than Hess,and has promotions to his name.Tilson will bring Freddy Eastwood with him.

12 May 2012 16:40:12
Bellamy loan deal soon, he no longer has the pace for Premier league. Liverpool are going to be wanting to keep him as reserve bench warmer though, so big wages = more debt for CCFC which is why deal will probably be in TG's hands.

12 May 2012 15:34:03
celtic can't afford Nesta's wages so that's a load of rubbish in my opinion..

12 May 2012 15:21:41
He's not prem class. But there isno bigger club than Leeds in the Championship. The training facilities are bigger than most other grounds.

Yeah Leeds are a huge club (TEN YEARS AGO)

They half fill Elland Rd for Christ sake!

If you're a big club then the bulk of your fans stick around, not fade away!!

stop living off the 70's. Take that away and you're as average as Reading and Saints.

Who's this about? And yes thorp arch is top quailty

12 May 2012 14:38:58
I think ipswich fans are the most deluded of them all. one post i read stated that some youngster somewhere has attracted interest for the academies at clubs 'such as barca,real madrid, chelsea and ipswich.' in what world are ipswich going to compete with anyone for a player? let a loan the biggest clubs in the world lol. keep thinking you are a big club, then you sign cast offs like jason scotland. from a leeds fan. p.s we will get Joel Ward not you ;)

Bigger then you will ever be fool your just a feeder club for us at Norwich

Can't wait to get Joel ward then post the links to the deluded Ipswich fans of him wearing the Leeds shirt along with Jason pearce

12 May 2012 13:14:40
England team Vs. France

-----------Hart----------
------Cahill----Lescott---
Johnson--------------Cole
-----------Parker--------
Walcott---Gerrard--Young
--------Holt--Carroll-----

If parker injured play lampard or milner {Ed025's Note - if thats the best we can do....then god help us!!!

That my not be the best team ever, but hardly the worst either. Holt & Carol up front, i don't think it would work to be honest.

Jeez youd take carrol clearly a liverpool fan he rubbish welbeck rooney sturridge crouch should go n parker a doubt i thought walcott was injured unless in dremt it n wheres terry is a must regardless

12 May 2012 12:14:10
any middlesbrough fc news anybody?

12 May 2012 12:07:42
Ed

Is it possibly to add the option to comment on club specific rumours?

It's great we can go to our club and see all the nonsense submitted, but we can't reply and instead have to write down the times they were printed and then search for them the hard way.

It would make the forum so much more user friendly. {Ed013's Note - I will ask, but I don't fully understand the question. If you have a club page, you can comment on there and if it gets posted you can reply. Posts will only be posted on the page where you leave your comments. If you cant find them, have a look through he rumours, banter, questions etc. If you are experiencing difficulties, please let us know so we can fix them}

12 May 2012 11:07:04
I'm a Leeds fan who is fairly fond of Crawley Town. I think that it would be great for you to sign Paynter and Nunez, both didn't get the opportunity at Leeds but Paynter is proven in League 1 and I'm sure Nunez would be great. Ideas?

Not sure why someone disagreed with this. nunez is league 1, and so is paynter. and crawley have a bit of money so could easily afford the wages, only at 3/4k a week {Ed013's Note - The Sheffield clubs and Notts County are after Paynter. Nunez is wanted by Doncaster}

12 May 2012 10:57:08
New Wolves boss Stale Solbakken is looking at making shocking bids to bring Cesar Santin and Bjorn Sigurdsson to Wolves, Cesar Santin, highly rated Winger from the team Solbakken used to manage, Copenhagen, Santin would like to be again under the success of the new Wolves Boss.

Sigurdsson has said he would only leave for the premier league.

He but solbakken is now manager n he use to play for lillestrom so theres a connection so dont rule anything out

12 May 2012 00:55:25

12 May 2012 00:22:26
