according to the evening post reading have recieved 50%­ of the sell on fee if this is so why cant we just buy­ tommy smith for 1.8million or anybdy else where is all­ the money going??????????????

Had cox stayed at Reading he probably would not be­ first team. We could have tried to buy him back, but­ did not. Perhaps he is not as good as people want to­ make out. Look at that guy we signed from Colchester,­ he played 3 matches and we sold him to sunderland, who­ then loaned him back to the championship. He simply is­ not a premiership player. It happens.
Besides, Simon­ Church is Doyle's replacement, and better than Cox.

In the past (the Elm Park days) Reading FC was run­ simply as a business - bring on a promising player and­ then sell him. It worries me that this is going to­ happen again and the Royals will simply stagnate in the­ Championship because the team they end up with will be­ mediocre. Do the powers that be not realise that the­ gates will go down and down? Come on, spend money to­ accumulate money - or find a buyer for the club who­ wants the success that the fans want.

cox could have been doyles replacement but hapless­ hammond sold him....nuff said about where the royals­ are going.

more money for madjeski to put in his pocket
