Not ashamed to admit gents that I have a tear in my eye! Sincerely never thought this day would come and we would have to perhaps start a phoenix club like Bury did, seriously.

Alas though, it did! Rob and company haved saved our club and that is the main thing. Is he gonna spend a ton? No. But he did very well with Wycombe imo and knows how to keep a club stable and competitive; that is what we need.

We stuck together as fans in the darkest times and now we have light!

Enjoy it friends,as will I with a mixed drink....or two later haha.


P.S. Just to give another plug haha. As I put in an earlier post on the forum, I am running a USA Supporters Group. Well anyway that account was locked for some reason, so I started another one on X for all North American Supporters(_naroyals). Please give that a follow if you want and spread the word. On BlueSky also if prefer that platform(@NARoyals).

Have a WhatsApp group, would love to build a big Reading community on it regardless where you live! PM me if want invite.

Thanks!

It's been 32 minutes. Why haven't we invested in the squad? Where has the money gone?

Couhig OUT.

I expect at least 20m spent this upcoming window and a USA preseason tour at the bare minimum. :D

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

morganb I have recently been wondering, when the takeover happens how do I want to find out?

I often listen to Talksport during the day so I could hear on there

Twitter is blocked at work so unless I see it on there during a break it shouldn't be via that route

It could be on HNA as I do check here quite regularly during the day (this is how I'd like to find out)

Is there any chance the Club would email out to their loyal supporters before announcing it on their website

Or will Trev from work phone me as it's been announced on BBCRB and that's the station he's tuned to

What about you?



So I bet you are all wondering how I found out?

It was Trev from work, via Teams:

Oh and Reading is a done deal !

EFL Reading Football Club under new ownership
The EFL can today confirm that it has provided the final clearance required in accordance with its Regulations that places Reading Football Club under the new ownership of Rob Couhig and Todd Trosclair (Redwood Holdings Limited).

Over recent weeks the League has worked closely with all parties to facilitate a timely transfer of ownership in order to end the uncertainty surrounding the Club's future for its staff, supporters and wider community.

The sale of the Club follows the disqualification of the Clubs previous owner under the EFL’s Owners’ and Directors’ Test in February of this year.

We look forward to working closely with the new ownership group and wish the Club and its supporters a successful future following a difficult period for all associated with the Club.

Glad we are still in existence- that was all I wanted given the risks.

Onwards and upwards.

So now, our new owners....

I was interested in this part of the statement:

"Redwood is ambitious and dedicated towards the club returning to its rightful place within the English football pyramid,"

Nicely vague given we've spent an inordinate amount of time in Div 3 South...

Maybe sticking to League 1 is the extent of it...

I just hope they have the shoulders for it and we are over worrying about HMRC...

This is lovely ... I know it's day zero, but what a refreshing thing to see. Actual owners, talking, online, seemingly really pleased, recognising all the total sh*t this fanbase and club have been through

According to companies house it was Rob, Peter and Michelle Couhig as Directors. Not to say Todd didn't invest.

Congratulations! Your nightmare is finally over. Now you can just enjoy supporting your team again and a promotion challenge next season under Noel Hunt.

Love this!

Thank God it is finally done; as someone else stated - a massive black cloud has lifted.

The future is bright; the future is blue and white.
