"Whatever the reason for it"

Erm, OK. What's the colour of the sky on your planet?
Coppell - There's no embargo on taking players from Brighton
Royals boss Steve Coppell has confirmed that there is no embargo on him taking players from Brighton & Hove Albion after he made the switch up the M3 (??twats??) from the south coast club.
Former manager Alan Pardew was a big...
How can you hold Reading fans accountable to the action of our board? Most of us on here have been sympathetic in the extreme, have not used abusive language and have tried to engage in measured debate.

There is an "undertaking" from West Ham not to take Reading players, not a contract. It's a promise, and not legally enforceable, although West HAm will probably stick to it.
There is no contract between Reading and Brighton, so how can a clause preventing any "nicking" of players exist.
There might be an "undertaking", but it won't be legally enforceable.
