CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

[Ascotexgunner]

I’ve read it all, that’s why I ask because it’s like Groundhog Day

The next 10 days are key to the takeover, we should hear something in the next week, new season fast approaching, XYZ person/consortium are interested, deal not done yet, potential investors, lots still to be done, Mr whoever has been seen in the town for a week, companies house shows tidying up, some random on X talking shit

It’s all we have heard for what, the last ten months?

All chatter and absolutely no substance

And the perennial quote “ By all accounts others are waiting in the wings to make bids if an opportunity arises”

Then you know there isn't anything new to find out, don't you.

Looks like it, but I’m sure we will have news next week

On Friday evening on BBCRB Tim Dellor explained it might drag on a lot longer. Firstly the rumour is that the EFL need some convincing that this consortium have the money to run the club and a decent 2 year plan.....
Also,following on from recent activity on Companies House, albeit the club accounts remain unpublished, there was some 'tidying' as the Cessation of Reading Asia Holdings Limited it was confirmed.
So we may have an update soon but the sale still seems way off.

:?: Assume Bowen is still on the payroll?

What reasons for not knowing his punishment? Has he been let off or are the FL/FA still deliberating?

Looking on the FA website, I found his previous charge outcome. He was charged on the 6th October 2020 and the hearing was on 21st December (76 days later). I don't know if this reflects a typical timeline, as he admitted to the charge but requested a hearing to "advance mitigation", but a similar time scale would suggest any final decision would come at some point in August given he was charged on 31st May.

I'm guessing it could take longer too, depending on whether he accepts or challenges the charges, how complex the case is, etc.

Surely not !

Cannot be signed off until there's certainty that the club is a going concern.

That’s not true
Unless the EFL have a specific rule, they can be qualified. Not a great place to be for any company, though

[Sutekh]

I reckon it'll happen when it's ready and be what it'll be and we won't be able to do anything about either.

This feels like the closest we have gotten to a takeover. Couhig sounds like a pretty determined person so I reckon it will be done by this coming Friday.

The only person guaranteed to get anything done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe
I had to go back to the 70’s for that one

[WestYorksRoyal]

I'm just used to it not happening. Probably reports that it's basically done on Wednesday, then nothing and before we know it the season is starting.

[Royals and Racers]

Another Companies house Reading FC notification of change today this time change of details for Renhe Sports management.

[Snowflake Royal]

I don't think these constant updates on the most obscure and trivial detail really help anything but fueling frustration.

The only thing that matters is has a deal gone through officially. Or has a potential buyer pulled out. Until then, nothing else is really worth a damn.

Untangling the complex web of Dai's business empire may be part of the problem. After all Dai's "China" problems haven't gone away. Been quiet in terms of activity for a while now.

Selles seemed upbeat in his post game interview with Tim Dellor that takeover is close to completion.

Selles seemed upbeat in his post game interview with Tim Dellor that takeover is close to completion.

The fact that he hasn't walked at any point has always been the clearest sign to me that things have been moving positively if a little slower than hoped.

Well done Selles for saying more in a short post match interview than the rest of the club combined in the past 3 months.

Was going to add - 1770s!
But then checked and its even earlier.

But you meant the tv show, I know

I was referencing the 1970’s as that’s when I read the book

Isn't he the only one left that's not suspended (or pending suspension) from football though?

[Anfield Royal]

Got my fingers crossed for you guys over the next week or two to get this over the line. It's gut wrenching how one parasite can undo all the hard work Sir John did here; but you will bounce back - brick by brick!
