Nearly a full page report on the Reading game in the NLP this morning.
Those waiting to hear about new signings will be disappointed - "Having already made 4 permanent signings the manager admitted there is (only) scope for possibly one more new signing".
Hess said "I know things have changed with SD going to Sunderland. To be fair, the Directors have done what they can. To start with we were only going to make 3 signings but we managed to get Joe Jones in as a 4th. With the budget I've been given, most of that was taken up with the existing players we had".

I expect maybe a few loan signing to compliment the squad we have. Potentially one or two from Sunderland. All depends on whether the parent club continue to pay the wages I assume. Strange to see four trialists yesterday if none of them have any chance of joining us.

Yup
Yup is a generic term of agreement issued often by a non-listening party, typically used while performing an additional important task, such as watching tv.
If you are the yupper, by yupping someone, you are not bound in any sense by your agreement, since you didn't hear what it was you were agreeing to. If you are later asked to perform the task, you then have the option to admit that you had yupped the person and ignore the task, or pretend that you had really listened & just go along with the yuppee.
If you are the yuppee, and you recognize that you are being yupped, you can call the yupper's actions & state "you're yupping me" or "I'm being yupped", whereupon the yupper may admit the yupping action and feel mild embarrassment, but there will be no permanent damage.
yupping, being yupped, yupper, yuppee are all derived from the root 'yup'
Woman: Oh I got some great shoes at the mall, do you like them dear?
Man (watching tv): yup
Woman: so we're going to go back later, are you coming with us?
Man (watching tv): : yup
*2 hours later*
Woman: ok, let's go
Man: where?
Woman: to the mall? you said you'd come with me later?
Man - option 1: oh, I was just yupping you, I'm staying here
Man - option 2: yea that's right, let me grab my coat

I’m sure I read, and heard SD saying he was leaving the club with a fair bit of money in the pot which covered all current contracts, therefore giving us virtually a ‘free’ squad this year in wages!!
I’m guessing he didn’t see this through then?
Or how I like to look at it, it did happen but the club are being cautious and seeing where we can make cuts, make more money etc. Just seeing how the year pans out etc and take it each day as it comes. Only time will tell
