Understand MULTIPLE meetings took place today between interested parties and Mr Dai’s people. All sides left ‘very positive’. Senior staff confident of decision/movement in the next 24-48 hours.

Still asking around for more details of the questions raised, but I'm led to believe a deal will include EVERYTHING. Haven't been given names

Maybe some announcements Wednesday PM?

Wonder if the Daniel Loitz bid is still one of them?

If Dai doesn't agree any of them, what's the plan of action going to be from SBWD?

Another pointless stunt.

Reacting to the news that Wycombe had put the deal on hold, Sell Before We Dai said it was proof that “fan pressure matters” and added that it is a “small win” for the Reading fanbase.

While taking credit for achieving absolutely nothing.

Meanwhile the clock continues to count down.

This guy, man.

I mean, he's not wrong is he.

Wycombe are pausing because its unclear they could actually legally use the training ground if they purchased it. Like a few hundred bellends chanting at Addams Park has any effect on that decision

Think Loitz is another time waster like Storey. Earnshaw reporting he didn't provide any of the documentation requested by Howe.

I think statement tomorrow sounds most likely. Wycombe owner is releasing an interview on Wednesday evening lifting the lid on Bearwood too, will be an interesting listen.

In other big news, the Gov has finally pulled its finger out and the Football Governance Bill is getting an airing on Tuesday.

Too late for us, but regulator in coming.

oxf*rd you PL.

oxf*rd you PL.

Just means this takeover is massive for us. If it all goes tits up for the incoming owners, we'll be protected by the regulator. This is the moment of maximum peril.

Ridiculous to see the PL opposing it but not surprising. I wonder where their fans sit. Certainly, I would expect most "legacy fans" to be on the side of the regulator.

Yeah, West Ham cementing their reputation as a bunch of pcunts with their owner saying 'best league in world' blah blah 'ain't broke don't fix' blah blah.

Meanwhile, the entire pyramid is oxf*rd and underfunded, they can't agree a payment deal, two PL clubs have been docked points, the Saudi state owns Newcastle, the state recently forced a terrorist state supporter to sell their club and the regular Champions are charged with over 100 offences.

'There's no cash, we're in £20bn debt' isn't exactly a strong argument for no regulation. Run your clubs properly, you bunch of thieving pcunts.

[From Despair To Where?]

"Ain't broke, don't fix it" the same day Forest get docked 4 points?

You couldn't make it up.

Not every club is lucky enough to get their ground paid for by taxpayers

What’s going on?

Mate just said SJM has been on Sky saying we’re about to go under and STAR have just sent an email about the March funding shortfall. Have talks fallen through?

Not seen SKY, but would imagine STAR are just trying to keep everyone grounded and reminding everyone that things can always fall through at the last minute if nothing changes.

[From Despair To Where?]

The STAR tweet reads very much like "Let's not take anything for granted"

You say protected by the regulator. The regulator won't be "protecting" clubs per se. If a regulator says all clubs need to be run at a break even cost, well, that might not be great news for Reading. Because we will be loss making so long as we have that massive cat 1 academy hanging over us in league 1.

Until the regulator is established, and sets out its requirements, no one knows what it will mean for clubs. There is also nothing a regulator can do about a club having its owner cut off all funding mid way through a season.

If an owner stops paying the bills, refuses to sell and threatens liquidation they will have more power. Obviously they can't protect us from bad investment and relegation. Dai's first 5 years could still happen but not the last 18 months.

I would imagine he's yanking your chain a bit on the first one.

Having seen the STAR tweet it is just another call to arms reminding people that there is still a shortfall for March so get to games if you can i.e. the Women's match at the stadium tomorrow night as every penny counts.

No more to it than that.

Yeah you’re probably right about STAR and I think my mate has misunderstood SJM’s interview tbf.

I hope a lot fans take up the offer of the mini season tickets for the last 3 games.

It feels a bit like we are going round in circles, but, you are projecting what you hope the regulator will have the power to do. It's not obvious what a regulator could do in the scenario we've been through in the past 18 months. If you think the Government is going to pass legislation that gives a regulator the power to strip a club from its legal owner, you're going to be disappointed.

He could buy Wycombe Wanderers for that.

Or Bournemouth
