Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

From Despair To Where? And it's only cost him circa £200m. Done very well for himself.

Plus what he paid in 2017 - don't have the figure to hand.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

It's been painful, but if Dai can get over £30m or so I'll have to grudgingly admit he's done well for himself by being such a difficult bastard. I think Kieran Maguire suggested we're worth about £20m.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

WYR, I reckon you’ll be having a street party if/when the takeover happens. Won't we all? I literally thought we were going to extinct last week. Shame I'm not local any more, but I can definitely get down on Good Friday to join the party. I’ll definitely be getting hammered once It’s all confirmed...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

This German guy has announced some incoherent nonsense on Twitter. Another attention seeker. I wonder how many time wasters there have been in private.

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

If I was a Wycombe fan I'd be pleased with today's development. Forget our own situation, it didn't make sense from their perspective and just felt off.

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

I think it's fair that Bearwood falling through has thrown off Pang's funding plans. Presumably the plan now is exclusivity this week and loans provided by the buyer. I believe HMRC is due this week, but that will be lower than the wage bill. Perhaps ticket sales and efforts from the commercial team...

Re: What day will the news break?

Looks like not today then. For the record I was the solitary vote for this week, going with Tuesday. Any sweepstake prize?

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

It shouldn't block any sale of the club/stadium to any potential owner as the club don't own the training ground any more due to Dai's shiftiness, so club is just a name. Now Dai could try and throw that in and muck things up with the alleged deal but if this is all as people expect, Dai has a very...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Love him or hate him, trust him or not but Huang Kad has just posted a picture of a corner flag. One of those situations where you don't trust the account but know it has been right on more than one occasion (wrong on others) and hope this is one more occasion where it is right. Typical that he'll ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

MouldyRoyal Couhig suggesting on Twitter this was his plan all along which is either A-grade copium or some top tier 4D chess

I think none of this would have been public knowledge without the Athletic's article. Perhaps they were at relatively early stages. Whoever leaked threw a massive spanner in the works.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Supporting Reading hasn't been normal for about 5 years, but even by the standards of this season, the past 5 days or so has to go down as one of the bonkers weeks.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

my concern would be that these rumoured prospective buyers only want the club at the lower price without the training ground, and the trainig ground being back in the total deal means they are no longer interested and we are back where we were, with no one looking to buy as as Dai values it all too...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

This is a really bad development from Dai's perspective. He can try smoke and mirrors with potential buyers and threaten to sell assets separately, but everyone will now know it's all bollocks.

Accept what's on offer and fcuk off Dai.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The hyper optimist in me hopes this is because they've been gazumped by another party buying the club.

I know this is an unlikely scenario before anyone comments.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Isn't HMRC due on Friday? Definitely short term issues caused by this, but hopefully a longer term win. Just adds to uncertainty right now.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Stranded Can't make up my mind if that is good news or bad news....

Or if they are having to check if they can actually use it.

Who knows what it means for today's meetings. But taking a bigger picture view, it reinforces to Dai and Pang that our real estate is only worth something when sold with the club.
