Geekins BBC RB were loving it last night and this morning, but i can't help think why release this news at the time they did? We're all happy to off to Wembley, release the news so as not to get a negative reaction. I'm suspicious.

OR - if we'd lost the game, they'd be in a position to tell people not to be too down, we wouldn't lose all our players and there would be more investment.

Geekins Well as with most of these foreign owners, plus with our own experience, they're not exactly in it for Reading. Asset stripping could be a reason. I don't know. Just seems a classic distraction tactic that's all.

My guess would be that they planned to release it after the game but someone pressed the go button too early.
They tweeted about it again after the game which doesn't really tie in with trying to bury the news.

Does paranoia run in your family ?
Publishing a statement that your club has changed owners on your club website on a day when traffic to that website will be huge is hardly 'distraction'.
Should they have held off until after Wembley ? And then been accused of hiding something ?
What makes you think they are asset strippers ? They have a decent track record with the club they already own. If they are cut from the same cloth as the Thai's we'll be in good shape in the next few years, already positive comments from them and seeing as they have been effectively running the club for 5 months already I'm pretty optimistic bout their intentions

namroyal This is very cynical timing. I suspect a condition precedent that we had to get to play off final before deal completed.
The deal probably couldn't complete after the final (if we won) as would then need PL ratification rather than just EFL ratification.
So someone has rolled the dice on us winning the final and I fear for where we will end up if we remain in Championship next season.

Maneki Neko previous issues were with how the deal for the previous club was structured, not with the two of them.

Fukks sake, Last night we got to the Championship playoff final which could be worth 170m + for us if we win it, we also added two billionaires to the board.
Yet some folks still find something to moan about.
