MoorgateRoyal In fairness, he did say it was all rumour and nothing was confirmed. His loyalties as a journo lie with the paper and trying to get the best stories for them, as much as it might annoy the club.
Although, of course, spreading rumours is never good and people will always look to jump on these to destabilise the club.

bobby1413 If it isn't true, then it's just inflammatory and potentially damaging.

If it is true, then surely it's not his place (as an official Reading FC reporter for GetReading) to announce this type of news.

Id say its exactly his place to report what he has, how he has.

I would agree it is his place had it been official news that was being announced, e.g. "During recent press conference, thai confirmed they are looking to sell".
Not "apparently the thais want rid"
Don't worry about it, it seems I'm alone on this!

I get your point but it all depends how you take it really. If you consider that bloke to be somehow ITK, his word to carry some kind of kudos and influence etc then yes, if you consider it no more than 'some bloke on twitter said' then really it is nothing more than overhearing someone in a pub saying something.

This is true. Sadly a quite considerable number of our fans will believe that what 'some bloke on twitter said' is gospel. And that's when it's some no mark oik, not a local journalist who's job it is to report on things RFC related.

If it's reported by a local media journalist then carries more weight than some bloke down thew pub or hiding on one of these boards
On top of the remarks CW made, the rumour has not been confirmed or denied by Brian McDermott, in fact I get the impression he was just avoiding the question at all costs so there maybe some truth in it and let's face it after the last 2/3 years it wouldn't come as a surprise.

Logically, from my point of view, while I could see some of the club being sold I could not see a controlling being sold unless the REP scheme is rejected.

I don't think it necessarily destabilises the club does it ? The Thais are business people first not football people, their interest was developing the area surrounding the ground for their own gain and keeping operating costs down. They probably also realise the scale of the task on the pitch and are not willing to invest £millions to move the club on. If their business plans have been scuppered then it would make sense to sell and look elsewhere if they can turn a small profit. Bring in someone who does want to invest in the club and show more ambition #good times ...
