Sadly not. The amount of money that the rich have still isn't enough for them. They always want more, until they have everything. This seems to be true the whole world over - never satisfied.
Football's definitely business now which is why most clubs are owned by businessmen who know little about what it's like to stand on a terrace in the pouring rain. I remember Kroenke (Arsenal owner) saying something about a cold night in Stoke - a place he's never been.
We recently had a good club Dnipro. It played well in the Europa League, brought Ukraine points. But it belonged to a very cynical oligarch. At one point, he hung a bunch of debts on the club, declared it bankrupt. Immediately after that he founded a new club Dnipro-1 (even the name is cynical and without imagination), but in the lower division.
Android on my phone now thinks I'm a fan of Reading (probably after I became interested in the club while reading your articles). So, apart from Ukrainian clubs, yesterday it showed me the result of Reading's match :) Unfortunately, Reading lost by missing one goal.

Once an owner declares a club bankrupt as a result of their business dealings, they shouldn't be allowed to own a club again.
Welcome to our Fan Club. I'm hearing rumours that our 9 point deduction will be announced soon which will drop us into the relegation zone ☹️ The good news, is that if we get relegated, I'll have plenty of new grounds to visit 🥳

A good idea.
You can find a positive in everything :)

Ha ha. I've thought this for a while - ever since we missed out on European football by 1 point. Those 2 seasons (2005/06 & 2006/07) were the best football I will ever see Reading play. So I feel that I've seen it all - unless we get into Europe, or drop down the leagues.

I wish you to see something new, ie Reading in the Champions League :)

Ha ha. I hope so too 😆 I've already seen us get relegated and playing in (what's now known as) League 1 so we'd have to get relegated twice for something new in the direction!

By the way, congratulations on the strong-willed victory of Reading.

🥳 It means that once we get our 9 point deduction, we won't be in the relegation zone 🥳

Yes, but there is still a long way to go.

I hope you're not suggesting we'll get relegated 😆 You new fans - so pessimistic.
