There's a few points to consider here really aren't there, on whether this is good, bad or mediocre. 1) Dai is in exclusive sale discussions with someone, presumed to be Platek, and the FL seem to have said they're in dialogue with them. We can take this as a Fact then. 2) What we don't know is how...
In very simplistic terms, I’d say he has a fair shout to say if he’d taken over the club, it would have had an excellent chance of being a champ club next season and hence worth double the price he signed up for Difficult to argue that one imo That would never stand up in court. It would be like me...
You can keep saying this, but it doesn't make it any more true. Which part isn't true? The sum of £12 million is widely reported. It may vary a bit, but it's in that region. Why is he claiming that sum in his court case? Because that's what he says he has lost out on by not buying the club. It's no...
As it is, he's claiming he would have made £12 million out of the club if he'd been able to buy it. Whereas, of course, he would have lost money, month on month. That's what owning a football club generally involves. So he's not got a legitimate case. You can keep saying this, but it doesn't make i...
Rob Couhig. What a great guy. Wants nothing but the best for the club. I can see why so many of you support him no matter what he says or does. He's not a problem at the moment is he? I want this resolved as much as anyone - but we can't expect a guy with no relation to the club before a year ago t...

Any idea if the sale has to be confirmed or to have actually gone through and be completed by the last date (i.e. just before the AGM, assuming this is correct)? I've lost track. I think no one will believe it's real until Dai has signed a contract. Until then, no one can trust anything he says and...

A thoroughly impressive win and a very good game. Nice to watch two teams trying to win rather than trying to avoid losing. You can see why the Posh have been doing well lately. For a make-shift back four, that was really a solid performance. I thought Rushesha looked particularly good, but Abrefa a...
I'd much rather see a phoenix club than start going to Reading City. If there was season or two with a continuity club, I'd probably do what I do now when Reading are away, which is go to Maidenhead, Slough or Basingstoke. I think a Phoenix club might galvanise a section of the existing Reading fan ...
Putting things into perspective, I was chatting to a co-worker who is a Reading fan. Their job is at risk, their marriage is a mess, they have health issues, they have a family friend with a terminal illness and could finish the year unemployed, at risk of losing their home, divorced, further deter...
IF RFC has put forward the offer of putting £6M into Escrow, and if that's the only thing holding up the sale to Platek, then where is the issue for Mr Couhig? After his media round following last Friday, he said he was not a blocker to the sale of RFC; if thats the case, then what stops him from a...
Assuming this statement is true (which I do) then it confirms what most of us think and what we've cobbled together as the position from multiple sources. At least the club are communicating with the supporters now. The only really positive thing is that everyone's best interests are served by the c...
The problem is, if/when Dai screws over Platek and HE holds Dai to account, the dipshit contingent of our fans will vocally turn on him as well. I'm uncertain about how they think spreading unfounded hatred about potential buyers helps sell the club. As well as massively over simplifying what I and...
Hmm, you're quite free and easy with the combative language aren't you? The case I describe as being "spurious" hasn't been heard yet. It's the one where he's seeking redress for the failure of the sale to be completed. If you go to buy a house, get a survey done, and then the seller deci...
The sale to Platek is being held up by Couhig's spurious case. You can try all you like to spin this another way, but that's the case. I get that Dai could just put the part of the sale value he's being sued for by Couhig into an escrow account. Seems he's unlikely to do this. The Couhig court case...
