Elm Park Kid The new kit design is already done - I saw it this morning.

It's . . . um. . . .interesting. Can't reveal anything other than i'm expecting that most of you are going to hate it.

Well this sounds fun

Aliya Capital use their LinkedIn to confirm they are joining the ownership group as per the Bloomberg story from last week. Interesting to see how this is structured, will it be an investment in shares in Red/Dogwood or debt funding into the club. Obviously the former is better for the long term he...

It's all well and good saying BBC Berks should ask the tough questions, but we have seen with other clubs how quickly they can get banned from the club by overzealous owners and club management.

It's likely just intercompany debt at this point, i.e. debt that the Club legal entity owns to another member of the Redwood group.

External debt is a much more interesting thing to find out.

Sadly much of this will be invisible until we get the accounts covering this period in March next year.

windermereROYAL I wonder how many games RC and Todd will be attending? it`s not exactly on their doorstep is it.

More than Dai

It'd be a huge task, but I would love to see a complete timeline of events in the Dai ownership. For those of us who weren't alive or old enough to understand events of the Thames Valley Royals era, this has been the period of greatest uncertainty in the club's collective memory. While a lot of it i...

What happened to the alleged £200m he spent? That was listed as debt on one of his companies that owned the club before the sale, has it now been wiped? Whose money was it as it seemed like he borrowed a lot of it from all sorts of people and secured it on our assets? Have the lenders taken a hairc...

blueroyals Who other than RC and TT are shareholders in Dogwood LLC if anyone? What % do RC and TT own?

We should get answers to your other questions but i suspect the US side will remain a mystery as they don't have as public a registry of companies as in the UK.

I know this has been posted in the confrimed thread but I thought it might be useful to have a thread to cover and discuss our new owners' first 100 days or whatever. Day of acquisition, interesting if haphazard interview with sky from Couhig. https://www.skysports.com/football/video/16496/13367936/...

Pepe the Horseman Was Trosclair with RC at Wycombe?

Don't think so, Think it was just Rob and Missy?

I think Reading hiring it out to other clubs etc would constitute Reading using it since they are benefitting from it financially, but I can't remember the exact wording of the Planning Permission

genome I knew it was a wum (Huang Kad = w*nkered) but didn't know it was Brogue. Well played

it was mentioned on this very thread more than once tbf

Do wonder when people will learn

It would be nice if Dai Yongge and Couhig both came on and shook hands after signing the contracts. Reading fans can then show some appreciation for Dai's efforts and wish him luck for his next adventure. This. Whatever you think of Dai, his heart has always been in the right place and he deserves ...

I'll eat my proverbial if it is a current RFC director (which Narin is) or even someone at all from Thailand. It's a Brit and almost certainly a nobber and I don't know why everyone is taking a screenshot as irrefutable evidence rofl.

Silver Fox BTW when did we have 10 goals worthy of going in a GOTS poll? What a cracking year

Absolutely, having Wing in the team guarantees some thronkers I guess! What a bizarre season all round tbh.

Yeah agreed, it's been a season worth cheering for, win or lose on Saturday. 75 points is seriously impressive.

Wing v Crawley for me. Was at that game and sat in the Dolan stand you got a really good view of how much that moved through the air, it went left then right wickedly and the video doesn't do it justice.

Some absolute crackers this year though, we've been spoiled

Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if the fact that we are a sizeable (and saleable) asset outside China. He's evidently looking for a good sum up front, maybe he hopes to stash it somewhere safe beyond the grasp of the CCP? There are unsubstantiated rumours he's in the UK. Nice little nest ...

Let's be honest, if it isn't Couhig we are totally, utterly oxf*rd.
