Confimred new owners of Raeding Footbal Club

[Elm Park Pasty]

Once that Nigerian prince deposits the funds into his account....

I got one from my long lost uncle in Singapore. Apparently, we lost touch when I was just a baby . Came as news to my parents. Neither of them has a brother . I am guessing the email beginning 'Dear [Insert Name Here]...' should have been the big clue

[Elm Park Kid]

"Dear Sir Mad stad

I am calling Samrit and would like much to buy club for full asking price. I am currently in Thailand owning club Police United so can't come in person. I will make full asking price payment via PAYPAL however can not release funds because of coup military. They will release full asking price once shipping number is sent.

Thank you kindly"

Rubbish

Equally rubbish

Thai's are all heart and no money - Explain this please ( No Money)

They do have the phrase "no money, no honey", which JM could use if they don't pay up soon.

Maybe JM is just looking for about 30 non-refundable half million deposits to pay off the debt and keep the club.

Anyone else just completely happy that we haven't had to give a single thought to any transfer 'rumour' all preseason?

No-one of the best parts of the year although a bit naff when people just put up a name and say that he would be a good buy.
Come to think of it there are far too many of those so yes I'm as happy as you are but would like to see some real transfers soon with the season starting in 16 days time.
The thought of HRK starting in that first match makes me .....well,I am glad it is still the cricket season.

One of the nicknames for Reading FC – the Mad Stad, after the football club’s Madejski Stadium – has never seemed so apt.

After digging into the manoeuvrings behind chairman Sir John Madejski’s ongoing attempts to sell the Championship team, Diary can reveal there is a second bidder in the frame alongside frontrunner Samrit Bunditkitsada, the mysterious Thai billionaire.

Reading’s latest would-be owner is an investment partnership of American billionaires, who are bemused that their takeover offer – £5m equity, £14m for the Millennium Madejski Hotel, and £20m to pay off the football team’s debts – has been relegated in favour of the Asian bid.

Diary sees their point. According to a source close to the negotiations, the US bidders were promised exclusivity to close their deal with BTG Financial Consulting, the recovery company handling the club’s sale, if the Thai consortium hadn’t transferred its full takeover funds to a UK bank by 5pm last Wednesday.

Diary understands Mr Bunditkitsada is still finalising the financing for his £26m takeover, after providing a £500,000 non-refundable deposit on signing a sale and purchase agreement last Thursday.

m'kay

More faceybook lolz

Samrit. What's going on? Haven't the fans been through enough? Being told one thing, then another, now it's happening again. And I, and probably alot of Reading fans have quite frankly had enough of it all. All we want is the trutb and to know what is going on. Is that really too much to ask?

[Pepe the Horseman]

These people are idiots.

I think Charlie boy is starting to get a little bit hacked off at all the constant neediness of Reading fans too

[Major Inconvenience]

Hi Samrit, I just wanted to check everything is ok, as I've not heard anything for a while. I don't want to pressure you, you know, but it'd be nice to know where I stand? This is quite serious to me, and I just feel like, you know, I'm not sure if you're as serious as I am?? What do I need to do, to make you feel the same??? Am I doing something wrong? Is it because I kept talking about Gylfi, or don't seem over Anton? Just tell me, please tell me what to do... I'll do it, whatever it is, I can be whatever you want me to be. I can change, please please just tell me what you want me to be!!? I don't think I can go on without you Samrit, I might have to do something really stupid like go into administration, or run back to Samuelson just because I can't bear to be alone, and I know that its all my fault, I just need someone to come and own me, so please please tell me what to do Samrit. Samrit? Samrit??!?

Oh God, what have I done......

I'm not surprised, it's relentless, and the same questions that he's already answered moments earlier... alas, comes with the territory I imagine.

[Pepe the Horseman]

"Any news on the takeover Charles?"

"Shit, yeah, completely forgot. Knew I was supposed to write an article on something."

[LoyalRoyal22]

Don't know why everyone so convinced Samrit is better option than the Billionaire Yanks. The Samrit situation so far just reminds me of Anton.. Happy to be proven wrong though. Also the Samuelson hate is waaaaaaaay over the top.
