I told all of you Wycombe weren't the bad guys here and you didn't want to believe me.

Shame on you all and a plague on all your houses.

I love the White Horse and Steve Guppy is my favourite player.

Anyone know where Brogue is? I thought he’d be all over this thread when it reached 100 pages.

WestYorksRoyal OK, this is a wild 48 hours. I think thrown in was also a Councillor saying that Wycombe could well struggle with getting permission to move in.

More twists and turns to come.

Sounds like it would be in the council's hands. You would think if the sale of Reading FC depends upon it, it will fly through. Completely different context to the asset stripping one he was asked in.

Redwood will probably change his mind now to avoid pleasing the football plebs.

Sports.com fits with the Saudi/American angle that came up earlier in the week.

The president of the company set up the LIV Golf Tour.

So how closely linked is it to PIF and the Saudi State?

I imagine a boy's club and nepotism where even if there's no formal affiliation, they all know each other and do backroom deals anyway.

Apologies, but I am going to LOL a bit if we are bought by some lunatic American/Saudi's

The sceptic in me says someone could have leaked this to take the heat off of the Bearwood debacle. bloody hope there`s some truth in it though.

Or, this was always the plan and Matt Slater's scoop ruined everyone's comms strategy. Eddie was rumouring these guys on Tuesday, so perhaps if they didn't want the training ground, it was always intended to do it simultaneously.

Slater probably had a contact with the party who missed out and only saw 1 side of the story.

There was a small discussion on here that selling the hugely expensive white elephant of a training ground could make the sale easier. Just no one trusts Dai for it to have been done with that intention

Unless the council reject Wycombe and it forces Dai to sell Bearwood to the new owners in a cut price deal as RFC are the only entity he can offload it to.
