Easy.... Can just moderate the topic title by adding "and random sh*t" on the end.

I was hoping this thread would have closed by now. Going to be toxic in August with Dai

It’s just deeply sad to be living this Groundhog Day in nearly July no news nothing happening

Knowing we will start the 24-25 season with dai in charge

I agree.

I honestly think in Dai’s mad world he believes we can get promoted this season and he’s waiting to sell us as a Championship club.

Would get more if he held on for another season after that and sold us as a Premiership side, likewise another year later as a Champions League winners

I wonder who he has as the manager and coaching staff in that mad world?! I doubt Bowen will be available!

Is there anything SBWD can do in the close season to try and turn the heat up a bit? Swamping Brum on the opening day with as many placards and flags as possible on the subject might be a goer esp. as it's bound to be on the telly.

To what end? The problem isn't lack of awareness of the situation, it's the inability of anyone other than Dai to affect any change.

Would agree there's not much else anyone can do so it's really making sure high visibility of the issue remains, esp as it would seem he has no interest in selling at market prices.

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Dai owns the club

Dai won’t sell the club or at least keeps sodding about and making any buyer disinterested

Not much more to it really.

To continue to call out the game's guardians and governing bodies for starters. They may not be able to influence Dai directly but they do seem to have a lot of friends in high places. Also, we could do without them further punishing employees, players, coaching staff and fans for any further failings/wrong doings on the part of Dai and/or his sidekicks.

I do, however, believe we should now take the protests to Dai and Pang's (maybe even Howe's) doorsteps, as had been proposed until the idea was shelved in good faith as no-one wanted to rock what seemed to be at the time a promising sale boat (no pun intended!),

Do you really think that pissing Dai off even more is likely to make him try harder to sell the club?

IMHO it'll only make him more likely to dig his heels in, stick two fingers up and say "Up yours, this club can just fold up and die."

So that leaves
- do nothing, just let th8ngs happen
- be really nice to Dai. Send him chocolates and flowers, name a road in South Reading after him, give him an honorary degree in Business Studies from Reading Uni , let him headline the Festival, take him for a session at the Turtle. See if making him feel loved does the trick.


Second option looks worth a try

[Lower West]

Dai owns the club

Dai won’t sell the club or at least keeps sodding about and making any buyer disinterested

Not much more to it really.

Dai is in deep trouble and needs to recover as much money as is possible on behalf of his creditors. The ground and training ground need to be sold at a fair and decent price as a consequence. Makes for a complex situation.

True but it’s a market, it’s like selling anything, you think your house is worth £400,000 and want nothing less and will take nothing less, but the market value is £320,000 and the only offers you are getting is around £320,000

You can wait all you want you won’t get £400,000

You never sell the house you get £0

He's already dug his heels in and stuck two fingers up. So two options left:

Target his sidekicks who are far more likely to walk, leaving the scumbag on his own.

Roll over, accept that there is feck all we can do, that it is now effectively Dai FC and walk away.

I'm sure I'm by no means alone in starting to consider the second option.

What are SBWD up to? When exclusivity was announced, stopping the protests made sense but with this summer and now today's news, surely it needs to ramp up again? And it needs to be on record that all trust in the club, Howe et. al has gone. There have been occasional club statements, meetings etc., that have convinced fans to stall protests. Not any more. Protesting continues until the ink of the sale is dry, and we escalate this time. His home, Pang's home, Howe's home, the casino, Chinese embassy. Anywhere imaginable. Make their lives as miserable as possible until he's gone.

They've put out further bill boards which at least is something.

Its a shame STAR are just Howe's puppets and we've got no local journos with any contacts with anyone who knows what's happening. Earnshaw just puts stuff out that's been on Twitter for ages and Dellor is only interested in posh sports in the summer.
