Madejski needed to sell. He committed a vast amount of his personal wealth in to the club over the years and he said he'd reached a point where he couldn't sustain it. He was on a programme a few months ago and he looked a tired man.
Thames Valley Royals anyone?

Oh come on Savvy You know prefectly well that is nothing whatever to do with the point that's being made in this thread.BobG
I thought the thread is about Reading being screwed over by a lunatic eastern European. CBCB suggested Madjeski isn't fit to wipe JR's boots. I disagreed. I think Madjeski did more, over a longer period of time and left with dignity and grace at the right time - unlike JR.Bob
