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

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...

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

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: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Put on decent street food and bars outside the ground and spending an extra hour at the stadium after a game wouldnt be the end of the world for many. What is there to get home to on a Saturday? I've been a "home" fan at the new White Hart Lane, and at the Amex, and both clubs go to consi...

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...

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

Maybe the EFL should have the power to divert TV revenues to the tax man and/or player wages in situations such as those we've found ourselves in and then to get most clubs on board with that idea, further divert them to pay outstanding transfer fees owed to other EFL and non league clubs. Might do ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

People shouldn't be driving to games anyway, it is bad for the environment. Who said they want it to use as a car park? - probably want to do some building development before selling the club on less the car park, not realising the Thai's already did that Seriously though, If a prospective buyer is...

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

I listened to a recent episode of The Price of Football and Everton's appeal/points re-instatement, Apparently the EPL didn't have clear guidance regarding penalties that could be applied, so at the appeal they referred to the EFL guidance and as such applied that penalty which was lower. They also ...

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

Yes, but the fans have done that off their own back without the club being involved - hence the constant messages from the club about staying off the pitch, etc... Fans probably should've been punished with a game or two behind closed doors. If the club were going to organise something like that it...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

On top of that who in their right minds would renew their STs by the deadline date which is normally late June with the potential uncertainty still hanging over the club? They should definitely factor in zero ST revenue to cover the June/July wages and tax bills. I won't renew, just too risky. Yes ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Maybe Howe should be asking these interested parties to show their interest in the form of a secured loan to Reading FC to help out with the tax bill/wages and avoid subsequent points deductions. Everton have done this with their prospective buyers, however they've borrowed so much that the lenders ...

Stranded Anyway meeting with Howe is today apparently, so be very interesting* to see if we hear something positive.
Howe can legitimately say he's been meeting with interested parties if he meets STAR, BBC Berks or anyone... doesn't mean they've got any money to make an offer

Reading4eva What's the smallest, longest range one we can get that can carry a Dai Yongge get out of our club flag?

This is genius :lol:
If you get two, you can use them as roller skates and stick then under the feet of a Dai Yongge manequin and drive it around the pitch as a target for tennis balls.
