This morning one of The Tilehurst End's assistant editors happened to mention that it's been a year since the Thai takeover news surfaced. We thought this was the perfect time to reach out and ask for your thoughts on the consortium, after you voted to give them a 3.76/5 in our approval rating.

Some of you were cautiously optimistic

Refreshing restraint after the excesses of the Anton era. Still need to see proof of their long-term commitment and desire to see the team move forward but cautiously optimistic so far.
Some of you were downright happy
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" lang="en-gb"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/TheTilehurstEnd">@TheTilehurstEnd</a> so far they've made all the right noises and not done anything reckless.

Some of you were pretty pessimistic
Want to be careful what I say but it all seems good so far. It was a nice start last year with them supposedly fronting the cash for Cox. Then everything went a bit quiet but now we are up and running again. Nice to see they are supporting other signings I just hope it doesn't work out too good to be true again!
One of you was downright negative about the whole thing.
Still wont spend big.its goals that get us out the championship and strikers like beric cost money and we wont pay more than 2 million on a player.so to me were always gonna be a championship team
Erm... One of you was... Pretty creepy.
