One good thing to come from all this, specifically the restrictions on transfers, is the mounting evidence the proves you don’t really need to throw money at a revolving door ideology where players and managers are concerned. You give people enough time and they find their feet, bond, and wring more...

I wonder if it would get more or less complicated if / when Dai dies. If the shite he is in back home is as deep as suggested, this seems like a very possible outcome. How about this. Dai is convicted of fraud and treason in China and the Chinese state seizes all his assets - we become owned by a f...

No different to selling your own property if you have a mortgage on it. Banks lend against assets that they they can sell and realise to settle what they are owed. Not their problem if the owners took a gamble that failed. Up to any potential buyers of the club to find a solution. Except the mortga...

That’s the tricky thing about protesting, though. You are often attempting to pressure a side into doing the right thing (for you) through means that causes them inconvenience. I mean, it’s not like we haven’t also needed Dai on our side. If Haitong are actively blocking the sale because they want ...

I mean, if a borrower puts an asset up for collateral against a loan, and the loan defaulted, isn’t the whole point that the asset now belongs to the loaner? In which case I don’t see Dai being in limbo, here. Surely the bank owns the stadium and will just want to sell it, at cost, to a potential bu...

Ah. Well, where did all the beef come from regarding the car park (with the Reading saga it’s difficult follow what is fact and fiction, considering the former is often stranger than the latter).

Not sure I fully understand how the other assets play a part in all this but couldn’t the protests target the car park or hotel rather than the games?

Dai has had all the time he would need to get relevant professional advice and is unlikely to be impressed by the personal abuse or attempts to steamroller him. If anything, these are much more likely to stiffen his resolve to get the best financial outcome for himself and anyone else financially c...

paultheroyal Dont know why, but i am just sensing a thawing, that statement in the sale was ever so slightly more definite and positive.

I am feeling a chink of light.

Jesus what next, a slit of sunshine?

My biscuit with the whole thing is that the protests feel more against the club than the owner. Best thing to come from the tennis balls was a bit of public attention, but I don’t think it helped the team and I don’t think it adds any pressure on Dai to sell. Our best bet is the EFL fining him direc...

Yeah! No thanks to this cock-waffle club (though I think we are starting to get our shit together on the pitch at least).

Hi EP. How’s things

Not bad, m8. Got my money stuck in some clay last year which was tough

Coming out of retirement to cast my nomination for “banter you’d most like to have electro-shocked from your memory”.

I've been boycotting Reading football matches for about three years now and I find that not having to spend time with other Reading fans and not having to watch Reading play football has made me much, much happier. You should try going along to a game or two of rugby - higher class fans at a higher...

Sounds like he's playing down the possible smear on his CV for the real jobs he'll be after

Wasn't long ago Reading were a feeder club for Prem teams. Now we are feeding Championship teams. Bit of an oof, that.
