Give the new owners and SJM credit RFC does seem to be moving on to a new level if the new plans go ahead.

Expect to see movement on this over the next couple of weeks.

A bit of a clash of Interest now. I want to support the new owners but I find that they are complicit in the 'illegal' tuna fishing story. Not happy.

[Royal Ginger]

People will (righty) be cautious of new foreign owners and their motivation for buying a club like Reading.

I disagree, if they're going to buy any team its a Championship team which has demonstrated that the premier league will draw the crowds. A premier league club is pumped up for price and likely earning all it's going to earn, so you buy a club that if you get it promoted makes you a pile of cash. Much less motivation needed for a club like Reading vs a league one club with a long way to go or a premier league club already maxed out.

He hasn't paid staff and players at Police United for some time and is up for Fraud! They claim he owes us £50m.

[Maneki Neko]

says he owes 50 million
not that he owes US 50 million.

[Nameless]

Surely it says his shares in a pension fund worth 50 million baht have been frozen. Not that he owes anyone anything...

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Doesn't matter how much he owes and to whom. He's been arrested and questioned by the AMLO. Well well, who'd have thought?

The tweet that went with the original artical stated £ and the link didn't work. hth

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

And here we go again, who would have thought it.

Well SJM always said he would sell the club to someone with deep pockets, don't remember him saying they have to be honest deep pockets ? we sure can pick them ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[WoodleyRoyal]

to all of this, we have been told repeatedly, he has nothing to do with the club

He couldnt care less as long as he got his money back. He was in desperate strife with failing businesses and losing millions all over the place.
Im not saying his heart isnt in the club but its a lot easier when its someone elses money and not yours...

[Green]

Good use of "strife"

[loyalroyaldaz]

Good use of "strife"

No doubt will have to explain it to half the Mongs on here......

I didn't think he was married?

[Royal Ginger]

It was fairly sus that he was so active in the lead up to the take-over then suddenly backed out whilst still sort of hanging around a bit. Guess we know why now.

the other thais and the club when they froze him out of any deal?
