It was reported that Dai had received an offer from a mate which Howe apparently dismissed. Possibly, Howe knew that Dai’s mate wouldn’t pass the EFL checks very quickly. Everything Dai does never makes sense so this could be an underhanded way of selling the club to his buddy and resolving a short...

Fits the Wycombe owner's tweet about not knowing the facts. Georgian buys Bearwood to cover smarch shortfall with view to Reading / Wycombe sharing then buys Reading later. Except it's a pointless waste of time if he's likely to fail EFL checks. No doubt they'd try financial blackmail and say we're...

If protesting outside Wycombe training ground or Bearwood park means the deal could change or be off then it's worth it! :?: Plenty of Wycombe fans joining tonight and supported by local press there. From what I've seen, only a minority are happy about this. Most range from skeptical to hostile, an...

Then why would it be announced as Wycombe buying the training ground? It doesnt make sense to frame it this way if the intention is for us to keep using the training ground under a new owner. It was reported that Dai had received an offer from a mate which Howe apparently dismissed. Possibly, Howe ...

If this was an underhand trick to sell to his mate, I can't think of a more fitting end of the Dai era than to go out of his way to sell us to the worst owner possible.

Wonder how far we’d be from being self sustainable if we Sold the training ground Sold off Smith, Wing, Knibbs, Savage and Azeez (compensation) in the summer and any academy lads we could Found a cheap training ground Disbanded the Academy Continued to use the SCL which remains owned by Yongge and ...

Lewis Wing's other half now starting to speak out on Twitter. Nothing major yet but could well get interesting. Essentially, they moved to Reading as they were sold a shiny future where they could settle in the area and get their kids in to school - been lied to the whole time. Team and coaches are...

I don't know what it means for the club if it falls through. You don't get liquidated immediately after 1 default. It would mean the 2 points deducted, potentially administration and relegation. But all these options are better than losing Bearwood, it's great news if it forces Dai to sell the club ...

Interesting that they're exploring how they can force administration. It has got that desperate, but I can't see a path for them achieving it.

Looks like their fans are as divided on this issue as we are. Some certainly supportive and very uncomfortable. But some seem to think we deserve it because we played in the Premier League once.

I don't know about the history of Cork City, but a quick glance on Wikipedia says they upgraded their stadium in 2006 which suggests they were hardly at death's door. Correct you dont know about the history of Cork City. Wind your google search forward to 2008 https://www.independent.ie/sport/socce...

Literally no idea how the players get themselves up for this one. Fair play if the pull a win out of the bag. Lewis Wing's girlfriend has popped up on Twitter showing where the players are at: I’m the partner of one of the current Reading players & this is what I wake up thinking everyday! My fa...

When Reading bought Kevin Doyle for £60k, and then bought out the remaining clauses in the contract from Cork for a pittance when they were about to go out of business, and it was obvious to everyone that he was worth multiple millions, were we culpable? Yes i suppose. But we still did it. I don't ...

Dai should have sold off Bearwood as soon as we were relegated, League one clubs simply cannot afford Cat 1 academies. You cannot cover the costs by selling players coming through as players in this league don't normally sell for big sums unless they are really special. This now brings the rest of ...

Personally, I just want this shit show to end one way or another. You me and every Reading fan worldwide. Well no actually, on the other thread the majority were saying they'd rather limp on to keep the dream alive. https://hobnob.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=191235 But I'm with blyth -...

As others have said Dai owns Bearwood separately and so not an asset of the club and so it would not be illegal. As I also said above without Bearwood and the Academy the club is likely unsaleable. Only a truly insane lunatic would buy a big stadium with a massively loss making club, no training gr...

This exactly. He could have sold the club, stadium and bearwood by now and walked away but he hasn’t. Does anyone really believe he gonna hand over this £22 Mill to fund the club ? I truly believe this is going straight in his pocket and this is the beginning of the end. It's against UK company law...

I would also like more communication from the EFL. Even if it was simply "we don't agree with this but we can't stop it", it would try and indicate sympathy. Instead we only hear from them when they're deducting points, and then they cry when the fans get upset.
