Reading Football Club can confirm further progress has been made towards the sale of the club, with the transaction including the Select Car Leasing Stadium and Bearwood Park Training Facility. As a result, The EFL has agreed for a further extension until May 5th for the transaction to be completed....

"Earlier today, the EFL Board granted a further extension until Monday 5 May for Mr Dai Yongge to divest his interests in Reading FC, subject to compliance with all other EFL Regulations. Since our last update on 3 April, further progress has been made in respect of the proposed sale of the Clu...

Just need a result tomorrow now...

Lethargy's turned up again for Reading today....

Individually, I find it hard to identify which of the midfield 3 to single out, but our midfield lacks energy and none of the current incumbents, (bar Savage a bit), have it. I know midfield balance is important, but a Camara or Rusheda buzzing around closing down and disrupting teams like Lincoln m...

Kicking the can down the road is the least worst option from an EFL perspective.... If the ownership situation isn't resolved by the end of the season, then anything that happens will have much less media attention... If anything positive is to happen, it has to happen before the end of the football...

I would suggest that "the worst case scenario at this stage" is Dai not selling the club, rather than worrying about what a potential new owner might, or might not do with the Academy/Training Ground/Women's team.......................................................... We are at an exist...

I don’t think this closes before the 22nd I find it hard to believe both parties have already agreed a renegotiated price given: 1) currently a X% chance we will be a championship club next season. In 6 weeks that will be either 100% or 0%. Club will see huge swings in valuation over the coming wee...

My current favourite 'theory' is that the Due Diligence information collated by various interested parties is the most valuable piece of this puzzle and keeping it secret and away from the Chinese courts and litigants is worth selling the club for - more so than any £££s.

The lack of competence is in the way in which he spent the £200M in our championship years - who he hired and trusted etc.... He didn't buy RFC because of a love of football but to try and impress the CCP who signalled that football was going to be their soft power play. When they lost interest, RFC...

I do hope they used Trivago and didn't pay the full rate....

TLDR, nothing substantially new.

Looking forward to reading the in depth book, someone will no doubt write about this, once it all gets sorted. Also, worth a look , if not already mentioned through the recent pages, but check out Mike Gow's (@mikeygow) latest mega thread about Dai Young on twatter. It really explains the cluster t...

it feels like rich people messing about at being rich people... except its with something lots of people care about... I have a lack of specialist knowledge so cannot really understand what a 'signed legal document' regarding escrow would look like... Why would the buyer need to sign it - isn't it j...
