Chronicle reporting we're "on the brink" with Genevra. Not what we wanted, let's be honest. But obviously Dai cares most about £££.

Don't know about Genevra, but we're certainly on the brink.

Wigan's ex Chairman who went months without paying wages is a partner in the firm, but we don't know if he is directly involved here. You'd assume not due to EFL checks. But any firm who associates themselves with such individuals is questionable.

I'll judge any new owner by their opening comments. "We're gonna get back to the Premier League" = bad.

"We're going to try and punch above our weight through hard work and smart decisions, and please be patient while we clear up Dai's mess" = good.

Genevra were mixed up with Wigan and the chairman they're proposing for Reading is the same guy who was chairman when Wigan started having payment difficulties. Presuming though that the way they'd structure any deal would be different as you'd expect the FL to have a bit of common sense about them when asking questions for the ODT.

Opinion from Reading's fans if this does happen should be one of "high concern" at least to begin with.

Do we know they're proposing him as chairman? Think people are rushing to conclusions.

Tbf, this was a decent letter to Wigan fans. https://wiganathletic.com/news/2023/mar ... al-hammad/

The funding promised just didn't materialise.

It was what I read in the media a few weeks ago but things can change in this game. Anyway we shall see, perhaps Genevra's connection with Wigan might solely be through Mr Al-Hammad (). At the end of the day we can but wait to see what is said if/when a deal is approved.

Worst case scenario they're as bad as Dai and it's as you were. They can't be any worse, but they can be better. We just can't guess at this stage.

I can't believe the EFL will pass any director related to our takeover who isn't speaky clean. They can't run the risk of getting it wrong again.

Their reutation is on the line here.

Well being close to Dai going has to be good. Will reserve all judgement on this potential deal until it has happened.
