[Hiram K Hackenbacker]

I would be very surprised if these pcunts gave a second thought about “softening the blow” for the fans.

I agree

I agree

Useless fact for the day. From his 274 posts thus far, Hiram has agreed 192 times with other posts and mostly, completely and strongly agreed once each.

Find that hard to believe.
That means he’s posted something other than agreement 75 times…

some movement on the RFC Bearwood companies house page. ‘Satisfaction of charges’ I think relating to the Couhig deal?

[Brogue]

Yep all liens now satisfied. So looks like Dai has settled with RC. Great news

[WestYorksRoyal]

A takeover can't be close though as no ITKs are reporting it.

In all seriousness, surely the best we can hope for right now is short term funding, a deal agreed in principle and then the new owner going on to the OADT test. Would be great progress, but nothing we haven't seen before. Best case scenario you'd think we're around 6 weeks off seeing the back of Dai.

[Snowflake Royal]

IF this is a sign Dai (or Chinese bank) has settled with Couhig, that suggests one of two things to me and I'll explain why in a minute.

1) We are actually reletively close on a deal with this Blue Horizon, Paul Taylor or mysterious other third party.

2) We are close to the Couhig deal being back on and completing.

This is on the basis that the lien and lawsuit is a bit of a blocker for completion of any deal, so needs to be removed as an obstacle before completion.

I would expect Dai to otherwise follow his uop of ignoring the problem and spinning it out, running up Couhig's legal costs out of spite in the hope he gives up and goes away.

The less appetising third option, is no one is willing to progress at all and consider exclusivity after the last round run out, until Couhig's issues are settled, but today's copium has me dismissing that out of hand.

Then there is the other less good alternative, this doesn't actually have anything to do with Couhig's lawsuit. But see above for copium ruling this out for me.

[Hound]

Sounds like something is happening so that’s generally better than nothing at all in our case

Few mentions of Smee knocking about again which are hopeful. No pretence of it being anything concrete just that he’s still keen

It sounds like you’re leaning towards positivity. We just need you to ensure Dai signs the contract now.

I agree that point 2 is probably the latest state of play - suggested it the other day. Especially as Blue Horizon seem to be dragging over funding. Couhig has the cash ready to go and has proven it when he funded the club previously.

Dellor's update as of 18:17 this evening on BBCRB.

Club seriously worried about how to pay the bills at the end of this month.

Taylor confirmed as the potential buyer that was in exclusivity. this is now finished. he's still as serious contender.

Club seriously considering administration.

Club confident Couhig's court case isn't a blocker to the sale.

Dai is in the UK working on the sale.

Solution

Sell to Couhig on previously agreed terms

Avoids administration, EFL approved, court case goes away…

Bills paid and Couhig gets a club worth more than when the sale was first agreed

[WestYorksRoyal]

People have been calling it for a long time that Couhig eventually buying the club is a very possible outcome.

I'd prefer the Smee bid, but beggars can't be choosers. I'd snap your hand off for Couhig to get it done.

[Snowflake Royal]

Couhig just sounds too good to be true imo.

Agree - Smee has local backers and is buying with the interests of football in Reading, Couhig is in it for a quick property flip.

But Smee is beholden to those backers, and Couhig has recent success in football ownership.

[ILoveMoonPig]

Wasn't someone saying that couhig wanted to bin off the academy though? Or was that just speculation? The academy is the only thing that's kept us afloat the last 18 months, I hope we keep it.
