Apologies, if this has already been posted, but is there a chance that Lomtadze is Dai’s so called mate and his ultimate aim is to buy the club. Selling the training ground could be a quick way of funding this month’s £1m shortfall. I appreciate that in all probability this isn’t the case, but none of it really makes sense.

There is always a chance that bubbly Georgian Billionare Lomtadze knows Dai and this is part of a ruse to get him ownership of the club.

Of course, if so, it is incredibly underhand and would unlikely signal a massively positive change of hands.

Ten Bobsworth I know nowt about Bearwood but Bolton got £2.2m for the fire sale of its 'state of the art' training facility in Chorley. Bearwood might be worth a bit more but I can't see why Wycombe would pay silly money?


Great

I expect your brain must be hurting after all that thinking.

TommyF Never thought I'd say this but if he puts up the cash and we survive I'd take him.

Even if we then have to start the #SaveReadingFromHorrorStorey campaign


Who? Ken bobsworth?

Perhaps Wycombe's owners are actually talking about buying Reading as a whole and will merge the clubs into Thames Valley Wandering Royals, playing games at Twyford.

Of course, if so, it is incredibly underhand and would unlikely signal a massively positive change of hands.


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 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 term cash flow problem. As I say it’s just a thought and nothing about Dai would surprise me.

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.

But the report also suggested that Dai's mate approached Howe who didn't tell Dai. Really? If he's a mate of Dai's surely he would've at least mentioned his interest directly to him and would Dai really let Howe get in his way?

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.

Interesting...but also really bloody odd.

If he isn't going to pass EFL checks then still seems unlikely he will try to get the rest of the club

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 going bust if they're rejected. Same trick 777 are trying with Everton.

Why hasn't this government pulled its finger out and implemented the regulator? So desperately needed. Ultimately the buck stops with them if we go bust.

Have you seen the state of this government? That should answer your question there. Putting one foot in front of the other competently is beyond them let alone that

Because that would a) be positive and b) football fans by and large (and I mean here more traditional football fans) don't vote Tory, so they don't really care.

What's the perceived EFL blocker - Putin links? General dodginess?

Not that I think it's a likely outcome.

John Redwood's response to a constituent letter was seeping with a condescending view of football fans. Johnson only jumped on the bandwagon when it gave him a chance to be a populist leader standing up to the Super League.

There's a good documentary on Italia 90 and what it did to football in this country, and one thing very clear was that Thatcher's government hated football fans.

So you're right that the lack of progress shouldn't be a surprise.

There was a random tweet late last night from someone saying that we’d be sold next Thursday and that we’re keeping Bearwood. I don’t believe anything on twitter these days, but I wouldn’t put it past Dai to sell us to someone worse.

It's all smoke and mirrors; we're all guessing. It's perfectly feasible that Dai and Pang have manipulated everything to sell to their mate who Howe didn't trust. It's also perfectly feasible that there is no plan and we're fcuked.
