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

[NathStPaul]

Interesting to read that Fleetwood's owner is in prison for fraud.

Interesting in so much as like Reading, their owner would no longer pass and fit and proper persons test, but did pass one at the time of purchase.

There's a difference here. He didn't put their club into mountains of debt beforehand and the fraud part sits with him. Fleetwood Town are separate.

They will go down, they might struggle in League Two but they will be self sufficient until its sold or he comes out the nick at which point he will try to sell.

Probably best Dai doesn't go into the slammer before he sells Reading as the W anchor was waving about 50's like it was Monopoly money.

We would be oxf*rd with a capital F. The man, unlike Pilley, doesn't realise for a business to be successful you have to manage it sensibly. And we are saying a convicted fraudster is more reliable than Dai. God help us.

After he sells us I couldn't care less what happens to the nobhead.

Why do you keep saying "us"? You support Bournemouth.

It's interesting for a few reasons. Its interesting for everyone clamouring for a "independent football regulator".

Under EFL rules, once you pass the Fit n Propa you have the club, and the EFL have shown via Fleetwood and Reading that they are loathed to subsequently ban them from club ownership, because they dont want to expel clubs from the league mid season.

An independent regulator may not have quite so many qualms about kicking a club out mid season. So if the independent regulator assesses the suitability of owners on an annual or continual basis, in the same way other government regulators do, you could well find a lot more clubs being struck off mid-season. The regulator wouldnt have to pay as much attention to the "integrity of the league".

I mean this just isn’t true is it. The FL have pushed for Dai to be banned twice already and the Independent Commission with the final say on sanctions have refused both times.

Fair point. In which case, will an independent regulator be more inclined to kick clubs out than and independent commission.

No because the Premiership will make sure his powers are very limited.

I'm not sure how much bargaining power the PL has. They aren't big donors to political parties. Football governance is widely known as terrible. The PL are well known to never put fans (read voters) first.

What votes are there for politicians to go easy on 20 football clubs. Football clubs are quite small. How many of them would make the FTSE 100? None.

If politicians are happy to piss off the biggest companies in the UK such as insurance companies and banks, of which there are hundreds, i imagine they wont worry too much about pissing off a handful of football clubs, owned by foreign oligarchs/oil barrons/US private equity.

The government just took Chelsea off the hands of its owner on a whim. Me thinks the regulator will have as much power as the government wants it to. And what the PL wants is going to be very secondary.

SBWD appear to be winding down a bit, they`ve thrown the kitchen sink at it but it hasn`t affected Dai`s thinking in the slightest, don`t know what else they can do tbh.

[Dirk Gently]

If there's a selling process happening already, all the campaigning and publicity-gathering in the world won't speed that up...

[WestYorksRoyal]

Time to get personal with the protests? Pang's address is on Companies' House.

There is... me!

Born and bred in Reading, moved to Bournemouth when they were absolutely terrible and because of lack of funds couldnt keep travelling back to Reading every week but could afford a tenner to go watch Bournemouth 5 minutes down the road. Love both clubs and always will do.

Anyhow, I don't see why people really give a toss what one man does.

You support Bournemouth.

For someone who's constantly saying "it's only football" you seem very hung up on who R4E supports. Calm down to a panic

[Delboy]

Next protest needs to be outside of Chinese embassy they can influence Dai and would not be happy at him embarrassing them
