Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Noted that no statement by Reading FC on today's development. Perhaps there's more for them to include? The statement writer has probably had their hours cut, only works part time now so no statement until they're back in the office. If it's the same day as the internet person I guess it'll get pub...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If the planning permission issue is pretty watertight and it precludes anyone but us using it, then the purchasers have the upper hand in negotiations If that kind of planning permission caveat exists, then hats off to Wokingham Council. Would be handy if the same applied to the Madejski Stadium, b...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

He's a very strange man. Posted from his Reading Twitter account that he was taking a 24 hour break from Twitter, then proceeded to tweet all day (about Reading) from his Bournemouth account, before switching back to his RFC account when the 24 hours were up. Looks forward to the next time Reading ...

Re: What day will the news break?

Rumours on twitter and Facebook that there are 3 groups with deep pockets and one is interested in the training ground as part of the package or excluding the training ground. Hopefully those deep pockets don't have a hole in the bottom in the shape of an energy drinks company that doesn't seem to a...

Re: What day will the news break?

My sources within Reading FC tell me that they know absolutely nothing as they are being kept in the dark, however they will report back any strange sightings like Richard Branson landing his balloon in the car park, running to the stadium with one of those big cheques you see being awarded to lotte...

Re: What day will the news break?

Depends whose breaking it and what it is. If it's bad news, it'll be announced on a Sunday morning that the owner is thinking of doing X and then on Monday morning some 3rd party will announce he did it, possibly Wycombe Wanderers I imagine if it's a confirmed sale of the club, The new owner will an...

Bunch of stupid pcunts. Absolutely. Makes my blood boil. Sell Before We Dai make another blunder.

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

I'm genuinely bemused at what protesting outside Adams Park is meant to achieve. Agreed. Now, if Wycombe fans want to protest and invite us to join in then that's a different story, but for a bunch of Reading fans to go protest outside another clubs ground when it's our owner screwing our club over...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Next protest needs to be outside of Chinese embassy they can influence Dai and would not be happy at him embarrassing them They might put pressure on him to get rid quickly/cut his losses which might mean dissolving the club. I think the non-payment of taxes is the key thing here, that isn't someth...

Re: The phoenix club thread

Maybe create a new club anyway, even if Reading FC survives. This town could do with a non-league club (assuming that isn't going to be Reading FC). Maybe in 50 years time our descendants will be attending the Reading derby in the Premier League, a big six pointer with European Super League qualific...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

They wouldn't give two shits. I heard people, who seem pretty well versed in Chinese culture, say the opposite. Seemingly they don't like to be embarrassed in the wider world, particularly with regard to commercial dealings, and don't take kindly to any of their citizens who are thought to be respo...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Put on decent street food and bars outside the ground and spending an extra hour at the stadium after a game wouldnt be the end of the world for many. What is there to get home to on a Saturday? I've been a "home" fan at the new White Hart Lane, and at the Amex, and both clubs go to consi...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

When is the next HMRC bill due? I assume this is for employer tax and Ni contributions so if he doesn't pay the players then no tax and NI is due. So in theory if they didn't pay any wages but instead gave all the players and staff an interest free loan, they might be able to defer tax and NI... co...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Maybe the EFL should have the power to divert TV revenues to the tax man and/or player wages in situations such as those we've found ourselves in and then to get most clubs on board with that idea, further divert them to pay outstanding transfer fees owed to other EFL and non league clubs. Might do ...

People shouldn't be driving to games anyway, it is bad for the environment.

They also ...
