CONFIMRED… ish

I think the acceptance stage is not when you when you "accept" anything that might happen, it's when you accept there's little or nothing you can do about it, so constant anxiety is pointless. You accept the situation, not the outcome.

I've had actual depression and anxiety before and yep, this rings true.

As mentioned wages seem to being paid as does the tax bill

No doubts this won’t last be trying to just not think too deeply on it atm

People need to stop kidding themselves that they're at the acceptance stage. If it was announced this afternoon that we were being liquidated, your response would not be "meh".

I've accepted that this uncertainty will continue and that I can't affect it, but there is still sn underlying assumption that it will be sorted one day. When that day is, what happens in between and who owns us afterwards I can't control.

Are you saying we need to accept we're not at the acceptance stage?

Well I thought it was funny

I got to acceptance. Then we looked like Couhig would take over and now I'm having to go through the whole bloody lot again.

Reading are the target of a takeover bid from another Chinese businessman with under-fire owner Dai Yongge renewing his attempts to sell up.

i has learned that Benny Kwong, who runs a Hong Kong-based gas company that operates throughout China, has held talks with Dai about buying the cash-strapped League One club.

Kwong is the managing director of Blue River Holdings, whose businesses include the distribution of gas and property investments in China.

So that random guy online was onto something. Already seen some people saying he surely won't pass the EFL checks, displaying the same misunderstood as ever. If he has nothing to disqualify him, can prove funding etc., he would be approved. The EFL don't have the power to block people on a smell test or being they seem a bit dodgy. They can't afford the legal fees if someone sues them.

Same guy tweeted this last week

I want to reiterate the affiliation between Blue River Holdings (BRH) and Benny Kwong, the founder of BRH. BRH are exploring a pre-pack administration purchase of #readingfc and are understood to have engaged Kirkland & Ellis’ Hong Kong’s office to help effect the bid. #readingfc

Well the EFL would protect us from that. They learned from the Wigan fiasco a few years ago, and any buyer who needs to put us into administration as part of their business plan has no chance.

Predictable. The only people willing to do business on Dai's terms was always going to be one of his dodgy mates.

No real opinion on this at the moment. Let’s see if it develops

Twitter ITK expert "Huang Kad" says definitely happening and will be complete within 6 weeks

Tbf he said it a few weeks ago. Clearly has some sort of information, just not that reliable

[WestYorksRoyal]

I think most of the "ITKs" do genuinely know someone. The trouble is events move quickly and you can only truly be sure of events if you can see inside Dai's head.

So just say quiet until it's done. Haven't they all been burned enough times in this saga already?

[Brum Royal]

Mike Gow (Chinese expert) posting on Twitter that this Kwong fella is a mate of Dai and Pang and has bailed out Dai's companies before. Hopefully this one is a load of bullcrap but it doesn't look like a positive potential change of ownership

One of Dai's mates would be a disaster

I came here to post this link

There's not a hope this would even go through. The EFL faced continual criticism and I'm sure even they would see this a mile off. Even though it would mean Dai isn't the owner, he's just too close to those involved to give the deal any integrity at all.

Whoever buys this club, I'm just sick to death of these greedy bar stewards who have no affiliation or interest in us wanting to take the club over. Years of it now.

I don't even want millions of pounds invested. Just stability, the odd repair and improvement, a well run club. Importantly also, with decent senior figures within the club who can actually communicate properly, aren't caught betting illegally, etc.

[Royals and Racers]

Does the ‘ back to square 1 ‘ scenario now put pressure on the club to submit the outstanding company financial results ?

[Mr Angry]

The nightmare continues.......

If you have BBC iplayer go back to BBC Berks post game show on the day of the Bolton game and around 5:20pm in, listen to the caller called Callum who is the guy who broke a lot of the latest stuff regarding Benny Kwong. In hindsight makes interesting listening.
