The club has gone out of its way to make it clear that this is a statement specifically from Dai and Pang. My understanding is that they're aware that this is a dumb idea and is highly unlikely to go anywhere.

I like the idea of being able to donate to buy a ticket for someone else. Larger crowds, club gets more money, maybe create some more long term fans.

I heard this morning that SCL have paid this month's tax bill.

On another note - the news over the past few days - there are 2 readings into it 1. The club truly is utterly screwed and money will definitely run out in the next couple of weeks unless they can source funding or 2. This is all part of a plan to try and get some momentum going. Over the past few d...

It wouldn't, from what I heard this morning it's much worse than that. And the issue is the lack of trust in Dai, you're asking average fans to raid their savings and give money to a Chinese Billionaire who doesn't want to spend his own. I'm expecting that the club will announce something by the en...

They are miles away from wrongful trading. In the summer the club could sell all its players, hire cheaper ones, and use the windfall of new season tickets and TV money to carry on trading, albeit as a much less competitive club. The only way they could be wrongful trading is if the clubs fixed cos...

Pompey fans raised £2.5m for their club. Why can't Reading do similar? Even £500k would probably get us over March's key obligations and buy more time for a deal until late April. It wouldn't, from what I heard this morning it's much worse than that. And the issue is the lack of trust in Dai, you'r...

In terms of points deduction, it won't make any difference to whether the players agree to a wage deferral or not. It's going to be hard to get anyone to invest in the club whilst Dai appears to be acting in bad faith. Any idea how much Howe has involved Dai? Any risk we get a repeat of Genevra whe...

It's going to be hard to get anyone to invest in the club whilst Dai appears to be acting in bad faith.

It doesn't change much really, we are reliant on Dai deciding it is in his best interest to fund the club for the last 2 months of the season. If he doesn't do so, then we will get a bare minimum 2pt deduction, if not more. The Commission knew this when they handed down the verdict, hence no point ...

I just got some troubling information concerning our finances. Basically, if Dai doesn't agree to the sale very soon then we'll be getting the 2-point suspended deduction in April. Even if he does it depends on whether the new owner is willing to give us money before the sale is finalised.

SBWD have issued new statement. I sometimes think SBWD need to consider the bigger picture and why these punishments are levied. Yep. I could do an annotation of what is wrong with that SBWD statement. Most paragraphs to be honest. Para 1 - You need sporting sanctions to stop clubs from breaching f...

My understanding is that they're just not at that point yet. Hopefully soon.

https://twitter.com/james_e1871/status/1762425118968430884 Reading set to be hit with fresh two-point deduction for HMRC-related issue. Staff and players now aware. Plenty believe it could have been worse. 11 games to go with nothing else hanging overhead. https://readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/241465...

It’s not a song So not a question about the Jay Z Takeover song? No, just wondering if there was any news on the takeover of Reading FC My source told me today that things are positive. There are multiple offers that meet Dai's valuation and are (on the face of it) viable. They're still going throu...

Finally found a decent striker in that Owen Goal kid. . . .

Sorry.

Looking like 700 odd sold today. About 50-60 seats left of our original allocation.

Courtney Friday reporting that Plymouth have enquired over Azeez, and decision is with Dai Yongge. Big moment. If he's serious about selling the club, selling a player who would seriously harm our chances of staying in L1 is a grave error. My understanding is that Azeez would rather stay until the ...
