Lol! I've heard some promising mutterings, and it would be a huge relief if it happens.

Seem to recall you've been quite reliable in the past and on similar things to Elm Park has been reliable on.

If what he heard is reliable then Thursday or Friday could be very good times seeing as he said maybe this week.


Well one positive outcome of all the upheaval is that when we start to have discussions about the team again, it'll feel like we're starting again when even having a moan will be fun! Perhaps.

I hope you’re right, but I just don’t see it happening today/tomorrow.

Well the guy who reported the info is very close to the club and he's been bang on so far. Like all of us, I hope his optimism yesterday proves to be on the money.

I suspect it must be close, so hopefully the guy you know is right. I look forward to the day when we don’t have to worry about our owners anymore.

At this point, I think the earliest it will be is Saturday morning.

Don't see much point this evening/tomorrow this close to opening day.

May even want to wait until the first home game for a big deal. Assuming it is actually close.

I don't think they'll wait uneccessarily. They'll be hoping that once this goes through (again, assuming its close and it does) the EFL will let us register new players. I'd be surprised if they don't have the odd free transfer lined up

In today's press conference Selles said he is confident that the club is ‘close’ to entering a new chapter and understands the takeover is close, but not finalised yet

Nope I'm sure Southend were much longer, and Everton are back to square one.

Indeed, Southend's has been going on for ever and I'm still not sure if its been sorted!! Quick question, so we (Reading) cannot sign any players during the ongoing takeover process yet Everton are still buying players plus are currently building one of the most expensive stadiums in England!!! and now back to square one in their takeover!!

We haven't submitted last year's financials, that rules out signing anyone regardless of the takeover.

Not wanting to go all 3-2-1 but...

The poster advertising the 3rd kit is titled "One More Night" - could this be referring to the fact that after the Purple Turtle event there is only one more night to wait until the takeover is announced? What else could it be referring to?

Isn’t “One More Night” one of Only The Poets songs? They were the band at the PT.
