Clyde1998 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.

Hendo 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

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.

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.

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

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 :lol:

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

If you`re referring to Dom Ballard that ship has sailed I`m afraid.

I wonder if fans will happily take a few years L1 mediocrity and no drama so long as the football is enjoyable like it currently is.

If the buyers don't know the figures inside out by now then they're not the right buyers!

Representatives of C1871 are meeting with the club tonight, don`t know if we`ll know anything more concrete after that.

Brace yourselves for changes to where C1871 sit. I hope it doesn't happen, as the noise levels are so much better now they're where they are, but RC wants to make as much money as possible to rebuild the club, and ultimately sell it on in 4-5 years. I can't see him accepting losses, just to appease fans. C1871 may perhaps end up in the corner of the UW/LW (?), back in Y25/26, or perhaps even the Dolan. Just my thoughts on it. I love what C1871 have done, so personally don't want to see any changes.

Problem with that is season tickets have already been sold in these areas.

I think it fine for them to have half of the south stand in league 1. How many teams sold out their allocation last season. And to be honest I used to hate seeing the whole of the south stand sold out to teams who could fill it. But business is business I guess.
