melonhead id imagine agreeing to buy acres of prime real estate regardless of planning is still quite a big thing that wouldnt be happening if we had no money whatsoever and our owner was off

Uke So the buyout doesn't "complete" for two more years at least
No problem with that

LoyalRoyal22 Why is this good news? Just shows Anton probably short on the money. Why else would he not want to complete the takeover.

Biscuit maneEl Diablo [b]Madejski to stay as Royals chairman for a further two years
http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/footb ... an-6195560
16 Oct 2013 16:42 Madejski was due to end his 23-year spell as chairman at the end of this season
Sir John Madejski describes his relationship with Anton Zingarevich as 'very cordial'.
Sir John Madejski will stay on as chairman at Reading FC for another two years.
He was due to stand down at the end of the season following the full takeover of the club by Anton Zingarevich,
But Zingarevich has yet to complete his takeover, having missed last month's deadline to buy the remaining 49 per cent of the club.
The Russian has not been at a game since early September and there has been rumours that he is looking to sell his shares.
Since the deadline was missed, the club have maintained a wall of silence regarding the speculation.
But now Madejski has spoken, and has revealed he will be sticking around.
He said: "I've been asked to stay on for two more years which I've accepted.
"I've always had the best interests of Reading FC at heart.
"I'm quite happy to be chairman going forward.
"We're entering a very exciting period of time.
"Our focus is to get back to the Premier League."
Much was made of the fact that Zingarevich missed the deadline to complete his takeover at the end of September.
Madejski insists, however, that he is not concerned by the delay.
And Royals' chairman says no new date has been set for things to be completed.
"There's no rush," he said. "I'm sure in time we will work things out.
"We haven't set a date in stone because a date was mentioned last time and it all got a bit out of focus."
When asked if he was still on good terms with Zingarevich, Madejski replied: "It's very cordial.
"He's very busy with his life in Russia, his business and he's just had a baby
Nothing to worry about. ....crisis over !

We've only agreed to buy something if it becomes something we want to buy
Good news for now

Extended-Phenotype It's not 'good' news. But it's hopefully not bad either.
Anton can't complete the buyout presently. We still don't know why that is. Maybe John doesn't either.
