Dont know why, but i am just sensing a thawing, that statement in the sale was ever so slightly more definite and positive. I am feeling a chink of light. I don't trust a word the Club or Pang says. Dai is a mute but I wouldn’t trust him either. I'll only be positive when there is evidence of real ...

Where there is money to be made, there is greed. Sport is even worse as there is also prestige and egos involved in a way you don't see in unglamorous industries like, say, waste management. It creates a natural toxic mix. Successful businessmen get into football and make reckless decisions for the ...

Not sure up front cash is always better, it depends upon circumstances. Imagine we'd been in a position to negotiate properly for Olise, you'd happily forego £5m up front for a 25% sell on clause when his next transfer could be for £60m - £80m. Obviously we need cash desperately. But don't be surpri...

Can't the EFL give Dai an ultimation? Sell by the end of the season including show you are actively trying to sell or you'll be disqualified from owning reading No, because the Independent Commission decide sanctions. And even if they do, he can just ignore them. At 10:50 on today's appearance at P...

Stadium. A white elephant or leased to another sporting entity ? Ricoh Arena / Wasps for example Bearwood. Similar story for Maidenhead Golf club. Not sure where that stands at present but I believe the fundamentals amount to a £16m purchase for land that will contain around 1,000 houses and a scho...

Masters telling the parliamentary select committee today that decision on 777 and Everton to be completed in the next few weeks. Given the money loaned, failure to approve is a disaster for Everton which moves them toward the precipice. May help our cause if so. See how urgent the regulator becomes ...

So, even before its designation as a community asset, the SCL had a covenant that it can only be used to host sport. The idea that Dai could get around this by liquidating the club is bonkers; the council will not give him anything out of the moral outrage for what he's done. It would make it super...

No, but you are. If Dai thinks that the actual going rate for the land is a fair price to ask then he will ask it. If he liquidates the club, he still owns the land and that's it's market rate. I'm not saying it's right or realistic in the sense of selling it as part of a football club as a going c...

blythspartan The Reading FC twitter feed has gone eerily quiet. I dread the day they announce liquidation.

It's incompetence. They don't have a clue how to respond to Saturday, nor the build up to it where Pang's statement plus the December meeting with SBWD have all been exposed as lies.

Daylong Pang agreeing to go on TalkSport at 10.30. Did not expect that

After lambasting Jordan yesterday, I hope he is at his antagonistic worst. Paul from EPR knew what to expect and handled it well; I'd be surprised if Pang has a clue.

People pushing for more pitch invasions, not sure what traction it will get, but for me Saturday sent out a big message and achieved it`s goals, any more will be counter productive and do more damage than good. It will almost certainly stop fans coming if they`re uncertain of seeing a full game. We...

Long trip to make without a hotel.

So, does Dai come to the UK still or is he now permanently holed up in China? If/when he comes into the country does he have his only private jet? Which airport would he fly into? When Mike Ashley visited the SCL using his company helicopters people were able to identify them and trace his movement...

The (mostly) Derby fans giving it big on X really is quite tedious now. It doesn't help that apparently a few of our fans taunted them about going bust at their place, a couple of years ago. I remember it to be fair. Even on here people were still crying over some programme notes in 2002 and though...

Think a spontaneous movement has started on Twitter to leave bad reviews for Les Ambassedeurs club and name Dai. Not bad.

I think the situation will be making them squirm to be honest. Regulator incoming, maximum attention. They'll be dreading the possibility that this ends with liquidation almost as much as us. I believe Rick Parry is facing a select committee tomorrow (pre scheduled, nothing to do with the past week...

https://twitter.com/danmarkgreen83/status/1746931025932878194 No idea how reputable this account is, but it's reporting £300k as a combined fee. Which should cover us for 2 months at most? So bad it almost feels vindictive. The post appears to have been deleted. If it is £300k for both then that's ...

It seems the only thing Dai funds properly are his lawyers to defend him. He should have been banned by now - the EFL have got a lot wrong but they're doing what they can here.
