CONFRIMED: Takeover collapsed; Back to square one

[Lower West]

To own a club like Reading is frankly a bigger task than owning Wycombe.

Worked with an English guy who moved to the US. Was the CEO of a company that floated onto the NASDAQ when he was just 35. There are special talents out there. People who just get it. Know how how to manage a team instinctively. Recruit good lieutenants to support them. Football is a business like any other.

No

Hey all, Wycombe fan here.

Regarding Joe Jacobson, he is an extremely articulate and intelligent man, and there was a general belief he was going to go into finance in some way (I think he was getting his degree while playing). Irrespective of the fact he is a club legend for us with 400 appearances, he is a brilliant person on his own merits off the pitch.

This interview from a few months back probably highlights him well, as he dealt with a lot of antisemitism and threats over the last several months.

Honestly can't remember the exact details, but it ended with you posting a picture of him (and his bank card?!), that you got off Twitter.

[On Strings]

Uncomfirmed rumours on X that staff have been told the deal is done; so I guess we just wait for the EFL to sign off, and we're done.

All the fake itk accounts immediately shat on by James Earnshaw.

What exactly does he bring to the table? And Dellor too, has the cheek to call himself the senior sports journo in Berks.

The recent news re the women's team and the takeover were from the national press.

They need to step up....

Agreed, wouldn't have happened with the hound on the case but then that's when we actually had a decent local paper.

That's the "deal" to which they were referring.

As I am a dinosaur and don't do X or suchlike, what did he say? Please.

A @ReadingFC update. I’m told still lots of work to do if deal to be finalised within 10 days. Rob Couhig believes he can take over in that time, but EFL need convincing he has required funds and 2 year plan, and there’s a final meeting with DY to agree final terms pending. I’ll have more on @BBCSport later, but as we know it’s a consortium - Chiron. Other’s waiting in the wings if there’s an opportunity. Couhig looking at how can reduce costs/losses @ReadingFC. Has met players and staff and will keep RS in place.
