So as the season is about to begin I notice today that we have slipped to third favourites to promotion behind Queens Park Rangers and Bolton Wanderers, yet the local paper "Get Reading"lists us as favourites in an article today.
Now on-line I read from and article from "The Telegraph" we are to kick off the season amid a threat of investigation by the government into their finances. TSI as the Parent Company need to provide information on cash flow, which has been outstanding since 1st March 2013. There are claims and counter claims between interested parties, over validity of exemptions for disclosure.
So is this the reason that we have failed to make any marquee signings, and with the previous Manager being singled out for failing to spend monies available, allegedly. Yet opportunities have been there to improve the quality of the squad, have not been taken up.
If this season does not pan out as hoped/expected, it will not be the blame of the supporters, players, manager or training staff, the blame will sit at the door of Anton Zingarevich and John Madejski.
Despite the above, tonight after work I will purchase my replica shirt and look forward with increasing inpatients to the game tomorrow.
My heart says we will win and set the Championship alight with stylish flowing attacking football with commentators salivating the wonders of Adkins team, and how rosy the future is for the Royals.
Sadly my head says that we will be lucky to get a draw at best and the air will be filled with disgruntled groans at the full time whistle, about what could have or should have been.
My only plea to the owners is please do not stitch this club up, and stop making us doubt your intentions, and take us on an incredible and unforgettable journey, for the right reasons.
