You just have to hope his rational self interest wins the day in the end. He gets nothing from the club if he doesn't sell. He's tried asset stripping and selling the training ground and it has failed. As difficult as he seems intent to make it, it really is in his best interests to sell.
Agree with this but you’re rational, he isn’t, he has shown no intention of selling up to now just empty words
As wildly irrational as he is, I can't see any logic at all to turning down a decent offer. With the now publicised restriction on Bearwood, selling that off becomes far more difficult, and the stadium can't be worth a fortune without Reading playing in it.
He could, in theory, just keep the club on life support to collect rent on the stadium, but it would take years to recoup what he could gain from a sale.
Yes, he could also be asking a high price, thinking he'd rather let us die than take an offer lower than what he considers acceptable, but is the price of his pride worth £30 million?
