I'm still going on the assumption that the 'real' deadline will be the end of May - with a little bit of leeway given if Dai has enough evidence to prove that the deal is going through. People talk about giving teams enough time to prepare for the following season - but we never know the final list ...

Certainly how I see it. We'll be saved or sunk before the fixtures get run, that's for sure. My expectation is that if this drags on till May then the EFL will demand that the club provide them with a full plan/timetable for the sale. If at that stage we just can't provide enough evidence that the ...

That's the next hurdle. If Couhig rejects the escrow then I presume Playtex will pull out and Couhig will re-enter the saga as front runner with the club then hanging by a thread as an impasse is reached. Hey presto! The FL suspend Reading w.e.f. Easter period (so the games that mean something v Bl...

I thought about putting this in club policies but it’s too important and needs to reach a wider audience: What happens to the Jazz Club if RFC folds? Is it part of RFC or a separate business merely leasing the space? The reason I ask is that a mate has booked his 40th birthday at the Jazz Club for ...

Some comments on hear on the lost profits claim and being outrageous as well as the £12/£6m escrow. If we assume Couhig believes he has valid evidence of a breach of exclusivity, then I would hope we would all agree that a loss of profits claim his reasonable, as a breach of contract by the seller ...

So Couhig buys the club for £15m, £6m of that goes into escrow pending the court case, Couhig wins the case, gets 6m back then flips the club for £20m. The talk at the time was of him trying to knock the price down and he's clearly got the inside track on the full state of the club. Voila profit in...

lol @ the continued “Couhig is as complicit as Dai” nonsense even after a judge has literally just ruled against Dai’s case that Couhig’s claim blocks the sale. Dai could have settled this months ago. Perhaps I've misunderstood. I thought Couhig had just gone through the courts to retain his block ...

Look, the EFL are fully aware of the absolute shitstorm that would fall upon them if Reading did go under. Especially if their actions were seen as directly contributing to it. The current leadership would definitely go, and the entire body might get swept away by the fury that would be unleashed. A...

Platek isn't the ideal candidate for a new owner (I honestly think that would be Ashley), but he's far from the worst. He's not some fantasist/chancer looking to cosplay as a Football Owner. He's also not some clueless chump with more money than brain cells. He seems to be a fairly savvy business pe...

James Earnshaw and others on Twitter basically confriming what my 'well placed sauce' told me. This is different to last time - all the key elements have been agreed with all parties (including EFL). Just the normal legal processes and tyre kicking left. Barring any more 'unexpected' developments, ...

Hound

Elm Park Kid I'm hearing that there's been some 'developments' today. Should get something from the club soon.

Positive developments?

Yes, very.

I'm hearing that there's been some 'developments' today. Should get something from the club soon.

I've seen some comments on Twitter saying that the sale was 'stupid' or 'ridiculous'. But, come on, ownership problems aside this was a deal that any club in our position would make. £2m for a League one player who is very much a League one player. Ok, it leaves us significantly weakened in a key ar...

I've been told that this is very real, the only remaining negotiation is the loan back.

I was told the same by my source just now.

If it is only about style of play then why did Hunt even change it? Surely by now the players instinctively know how to play Selles's style so why not simply let them continue with it? In fact the players could teach Noel how to do it You have to change your tactics and mentality for every differen...
