Ha yeh, surely that's his way of announcing it, without actually announcing it.

Not entirely sure most Reading fans would be with you there….


the man has pumped more money into this club than all our other owners combined, only fair he seeks a return. If fans cant appreicate that then i would say thats a somewhat selffish view to take.


Have you considered that a lot of the money might not have been Dai's own to spend.........


Or that in those mad few weeks when signing the likes of Puscas and Joao etc and putting the likes of Moore on 35kpw, the red flags were flying around this board having calculated we has trashed ffp in a matter of days....and that if we didnt go up we were f*cked.

And his way of telling us he won’t actually be coming to games…..

Or he's bought the box set of The Crown.

@RCouhig Well, that’s sorted. Royals tv package purchased. Should be quality preparation for the season. Anxious to see the boys in action.

With all the deafening silence there’s been from the club about the takeover this seems a bit of an odd thing to do of it’s not a done deal yet.

Maybe it’s his way of alleviating fans fears or putting a bit of pressure on the EFL to give their approval of the takeover.

In principle selling the club to new owners sounds easy. Actually striking a deal that's acceptable to all parties involved is probably far more complex. The training complex is financially a huge white elephant for one. Nice to have. But totally out of kilter with a middle table L1 side.

Though quite possibly it’s the training ground that Couhig is most interested in

Surely not now he knows he can't sell it from underneath us.

He could, as the new owner of the football club, request an amendment to the covenant
No guarantees it would be granted, but it’s possible

Perhaps SBWR (Sell Before We're Robbed) should form now just in case.

He could.
But it does seem a complicated and expensive way of acquiring an asset he could have bought easily just a few months ago.

It's dragged on so so so long. First home game with a new owner will make the ground rock.

Roll on the 17th and a visit from what is becoming Liverpool's reserve defence.

Is this the week? If it's not, it's probably indicative that things are not all well, as with every other "big week" that has come and gone.

Yeah, fingers crossed for this week. I thought it would be last week off the back of what STAR and Dellor had said. If it doesn’t happen it might indicate things are amiss.

Getting to the point, that if it happens, you might as well wait until Birmingham, and announce it just before KO.

Nah, 2 days before Birmingham would be dandy because we'd have time to register these players we've apparently got lined up.
