CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

[Snowflake Royal]

Where 'competitive' means 'can avoid relegation from League One'?

And winning the Championship.

I don't think we ever have won the Championship without paying a single transfer fee. But we did manage to avoid relegation from League 1 - the question is, is that to be considered as success or not?

You took not a single transfer fee, I took without spending a ton.

I think the first was just hyper bowl. But I may be wrong.

Championship the second time Reading paid undisclosed fees for the likes of Alf, Gorkss and Leigertwood not to mention Roberts in January. The first time they won it they paid for Gunnarsson, Lita, Doyle/Long etc.

Well we could finally be getting to the end of this saga.

No rest for the wicked- not even on holiday. I am told the deal is agreed and the 'final stage' is expected to be completed by Friday. Announcement due early next week. Couhig currently working at B'wood and will be at the game on Saturday

Earnshaw rarely wrong so very encouraged by this

[Hound]

Enough time to add a couple to the squad as well hopefully

Yep, doesn't seem like the type to post something as important as this without quadruple checking with multiple sources.

Agreed, but still not getting excited until it's DONE done.

He hasn't said anything that Dellor didn't say last night or Eddie last week.

Not getting interested until the club posts something.

I'm not going to be counting any chickens until the club's formally announced it, however it's a positive update from a journalist who's usually accurate in their reporting.

Having it done next week would give us enough time to get in a two or three players to help with our depth issues.

You would hope the completion of the sale means the accounts can be submitted but can we assume they are all sat there ready to go and are just waiting for their to be someone who cares enough to send them off ?
If they haven’t been submitted because there are legal / technical / whatever reasons why they can’t be could it not still take new owners quite a while to resolve those issues ?
Fingers crossed it’s a simple fix.

Accounts need approval by the directors, which is hard when the directors don't give a shit. I expect staff have them ready to go for Couhig & Co. to approve immediately, then we can bring players in.

Hopefully it’s that simple.
Probably second thing Couhig will do once he has the keys to the stadium.

EPR>>>>>>>Tim Dellor.

EPR has been pretty spot on throughout this process. I didn’t want to believe the bad news last year, but it turned out to be accurate.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Agree Earnshaw is very reliable - takes the damage of false stories to his reputation seriously. If anything, sometimes he is a bit too conservative and goes weeks without reporting much when I'm sure he has pieces of information that could be useful.

The wording of his article is pretty firm. Not much caveating or trying to manage expectations. Makes me think this is basically done.

Perhaps there should be a "big flag" for Rob, certainly think there should be a considerable "round of applause" when he appears in the director's box!

I have no doubt by the end of next week he'll have "spoken to the fans" more times than the previous "owner" did in 7 years.

[windermereROYAL]

Wouldn`t it be epic if it was announced before the game on Saturday.

[Linden Jones' Tash]

how long before the 'we want a sustainable club' turns into 'not that kind of sustainable club' when the self evident things you need to do to make a club like Reading in League 1 pay its way....

Christmas I reckon...

Already started! Expectations of 2 or 3 players arriving in what's left of the window

Might get 1 on loan from Southampton if you're lucky.
