CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

[Snowflake Royal]

Seriously? I'd rather see the takeover go through than England win the Euros; it's existential.

But I'd rather see England win the Euros over promotion from L1, or even to the Premier League. I've seen promotion, it was good and I'd enjoy it again, but been there done that. I've never seen England have genuine success, and the celebrations and feel good would be another level. Not just a handful of friends and family to celebrate with, but practically everyone from school, uni, work etc.,. A proper celebration the country can enjoy together.

I think if given a choice between promotion back to the championship in 24/25 or England winning the Euros, I'd choose England winning the Euros, although a lot of that is that I think that barring Dai continuing, or the new owners being as just as bad, going back up is a matter of time - and I'm expecting us to not go up next season anyway.

Like most, I've never seen an England win, and I'd love it, and it would have the added benefit of massively annoying the Scots, Irish and Welsh, who seem to have taken England being knocked out the highlight of their tournament. In fairness, if you are Scottish, you've never had anything else to celebrate.

However, if given the option of an England win but Reading staying down for at least another four years, or no magic wand to wave, I wouldn't choose the England win.

Same. Although I'd probably take 4 decent years in L1 and existing without financial apocalypse for an England trophy win.

First "ITK" on Twitter claiming its all fallen through, which is possible of course but, you know, its Twitter.

That'll teach me to have a look at Twitter for the first time in a week or two.

Yes some spotty geek, it must be true then.

Selles walks before any takeover is completed.

Strong possibility if it seriously impairs recruitment over the summer - no idea who we are looking at of course but expect there are Free Agents who have already signed elsewhere that we will have been hoping to at least speak to with some stabilty behind us.

It's all so frustrating. It feels like it took a monumental effort to get to the stage where we're a L1 club in exclusive negotiations, and it could all still go to shit anyway.

Nothing to suggest this tweet is accurate, but it should be done and dusted already.

Should be easy enough to check if this bloke has any previous comments that have checked out or whether it's just your usual troll with nothing better to do than try and wind people up.

Simple step - does it pass the stink test. In other words, does it smell like bullshit.

Someone posting at 10.30pm on a Sunday of a bank holiday, is more likely to be someone having had one too many and seeing what reaction they can get as opposed to someone with intimate details of a complicated business deal.

I'll go one better on the stink test stranded. Just days after exclusivity is extended, some rando twatter nomark says its all off.

Why was exclusivity extended then?

[WestYorksRoyal]

Incidental comment, but shows how shit Twitter has become that this guy has a blue tick. Doesn't that just mean he's paying £10 a month? But it could mean more people believe him.

So, a likely motive as well then. Probably guesting his way back here to see if the board goes into meLOLtdown.

Longterm storytelling.

Why was exclusivity extended then?

Was exclusivity officially extended?

Before I left for my holiday there were two contrasting stories floating around. One was that Dai would make a decision within the next 24 hours and one was that exclusivity would be extended. It’s payday on Friday so that might tell us more.

The Chronicle reported last week that it had been extended and that Chiron paid May's HMRC. Suspect we may see something on Companies House in the coming days if they have loaned the club more.

So seems unlikely talks would collapse so shortly after this. All we know is it was expected to be completed by now and it isn't. More hearsay and gossip will continue to fill the void. Surely a club statement saying exclusivity has been extended and that the deal is still expected to complete would help?

Just as an aside, the 2022-23 accounts still haven't appeared on Companies House. The deadline is at the end of next month. Don't know what penalties there could be for overdue accounts.

*Hoped, not expected.

It was never going to be straightforward with Dai.

I believe I read somewhere, but could be wrong, that there is a loophole when it comes to submitting accounts that is being used - I believe because there is a potential sale underway - accounts would only need to be submitted once the sale is complete.

Again may be completly wrong, but seem to recall Kieran Maguire stating something along those lines in a tweet.

Nothing official but Earnshaw reported it had been and Chiron/Redwood had paid the May tax bill.
