Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Next tie Dai Yongge wants to get involved with football he can give me £200m and I'll teach him how to play FIFA or Football Manager The training ground investment was the only sound advice he was given, Could have worked out alot differently if he'd appointed a CEO with the right experience at this...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Has anyone at SBWD contacted Wokingham council to see if planning is transferrable, it was clearly in RFC name? Good spot :D - seems it's not transferrable Great stuff, who wants to claim credit for this ahead of the next election? - John Redwood says it would be unfair for the government to step i...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

... I believe HMRC is due this week, but that will be lower than the wage bill ... Does RFC pay VAT quarterly or monthly? If quarterly the HMRC bill this month could be substantially bigger than previous months. I imagine quaterly as there is no point in anyone paying their VAT monthly as it create...

Re: Should Hobnob contribute to the Club, or one of the supporter groups like SBWD?

Maybe we can also have a collection and make a donation from Hobnob Users?.... unless it's a really crap amount, in which case we can donate it on the quiet.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Noted that no statement by Reading FC on today's development. Perhaps there's more for them to include? The statement writer has probably had their hours cut, only works part time now so no statement until they're back in the office. If it's the same day as the internet person I guess it'll get pub...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If the planning permission issue is pretty watertight and it precludes anyone but us using it, then the purchasers have the upper hand in negotiations If that kind of planning permission caveat exists, then hats off to Wokingham Council. Would be handy if the same applied to the Madejski Stadium, b...

He's a very strange man. Posted from his Reading Twitter account that he was taking a 24 hour break from Twitter, then proceeded to tweet all day (about Reading) from his Bournemouth account, before switching back to his RFC account when the 24 hours were up. Looks forward to the next time Reading ...

Re: What day will the news break?

Rumours on twitter and Facebook that there are 3 groups with deep pockets and one is interested in the training ground as part of the package or excluding the training ground. Hopefully those deep pockets don't have a hole in the bottom in the shape of an energy drinks company that doesn't seem to a...

Depends whose breaking it and what it is. If it's bad news, it'll be announced on a Sunday morning that the owner is thinking of doing X and then on Monday morning some 3rd party will announce he did it, possibly Wycombe Wanderers I imagine if it's a confirmed sale of the club, The new owner will an...

Bunch of stupid pcunts. Absolutely. Makes my blood boil. Sell Before We Dai make another blunder. Just one thought, say SBWD were successful and somehow persuaded (all nice and legal with no naughties happening) the Wycombe owner not to go through with the purchase and consequently the monies Readi...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

I'm genuinely bemused at what protesting outside Adams Park is meant to achieve. Agreed. Now, if Wycombe fans want to protest and invite us to join in then that's a different story, but for a bunch of Reading fans to go protest outside another clubs ground when it's our owner screwing our club over...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Next protest needs to be outside of Chinese embassy they can influence Dai and would not be happy at him embarrassing them They might put pressure on him to get rid quickly/cut his losses which might mean dissolving the club. I think the non-payment of taxes is the key thing here, that isn't someth...

Re: The phoenix club thread

Maybe create a new club anyway, even if Reading FC survives. This town could do with a non-league club (assuming that isn't going to be Reading FC). Maybe in 50 years time our descendants will be attending the Reading derby in the Premier League, a big six pointer with European Super League qualific...

They wouldn't give two shits. I heard people, who seem pretty well versed in Chinese culture, say the opposite. Seemingly they don't like to be embarrassed in the wider world, particularly with regard to commercial dealings, and don't take kindly to any of their citizens who are thought to be respo...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

When is the next HMRC bill due? I assume this is for employer tax and Ni contributions so if he doesn't pay the players then no tax and NI is due. So in theory if they didn't pay any wages but instead gave all the players and staff an interest free loan, they might be able to defer tax and NI... co...
