That's a point that is, I fear, lost on a lot of people giddy with excitement about WWFC suddenly having an owner who is richer than god. If/when the plug is pulled, we're going to make Reading in their current state look like a paragon of financial prudence.
Which is what some said when Rob C came in...what's going to happen when he gets bored...and what almost every fan of every club must say about their owner.
That's football ownership today. Not sure we would have survived under the Trust...or any of the other owners who were queueing up to buy in (apparently)...we are in the lap of the Gods.
On the bright side WW3 might put all of those worries in the shade...probably just as we win the play-offs.
As for Flash Gordon, I was privileged enough to grow up in a time where they showed the serial on a Saturday morning along with other gems like Champion the Wonder horse, The Flashing Blade and my favourites Laurel and Hardy.

There comes a time in life when dating oneself is the only option. Afraid I can’t help with Ming the Merciless. Must be after my time.
Since the original series was from 1936 - are you the oldest man alive if it was after your time?
Well, honest to God, I shoulda known that, so I should. Lovely Limerick.
This one is best spoken aloud in genteel elderly company.
Just a failed attempt (evidently) at a witty play on the usual comment of something being before my time. Sorry 😣.

Is there scope now for JJ to come to us in a coaching role? Has he retired from playing?

Can’t access that. What is the gist of it, please?
A joke that Reading is beautiful. Instead of showing pictures of Reading. Pictures of famous worldwide landmarks instead.
Thanks @Kernow76.
I’m imagining that you’re a 47 or 48 year old Cornishman but I may be well wide of the mark.
I spent most of my teenage years dating myself.

With respect, you haven't been watching WWFC long enough if that was one of your worst memories. Believe me, it has been worse! 😊
