Why are people taking like Dai is leaving?


You would think he will join SJM as a Life President


Huang said STAR had invited him to join as one of the travel coordinators


Can’t see Colin and Mel being happy about that

katweslowski It would be nice if Dai Yongge and Couhig both came on and shook hands after signing the contracts. Reading fans can then show some appreciation for Dai's efforts and wish him luck for his next adventure.

This. Whatever you think of Dai, his heart has always been in the right place and he deserves a good send off.

I'd like to see him get a lap of honour with the players and present the POTS award.

As an a cappella version of Stay, by Rhianna, echos around the SCL.

Would prefer Stay by the Zodiacs, imagine Club 1871 coming in on the falsetto section. Glorious.

Would be a shame if this doesn't happen because Club 1871 and the East Stand can't agree on a song.

Sutekh Aren’t these things all done by Docusign type of online apps these days? Don’t think businesses would be able to cope with actual physical documents these days. Guarantee if they try a “on the pitch” signing they won’t have a working pen in the place.


Some still think the pen,is mightier…

Is it currently seriously under threat?

Has Brogue been bankrolled to enable him to break the record - just like Birmingham?

Isn’t that really good luck in China, or bad luck, or death or something.

Probably "Message to hopeful" which was so long it literally broke the site.

Anyone remember the tread where we all predicted when the sale would go through? - I think even the most pessimistic guess would be out by a year. Maybe it was this thread, will try and find it.

Twitter truly does bring the worst out in people. Pissy when journalists don’t report anything, pissy when they get wrong.

That Haung guy may have got a thing or two correct in the past but if you chose to take his tweets as fact then that’s entirely your own call, don’t expect journalists to automatically latch onto it.

I am expecting further extension news on 5/6 May before any takeover news, but would love to be wrong.

Honestly, we're getting to the point where Huang Kad needs to be burned at the stake, or forced to wear an Oxford kit.

Why anyone would have any expectation over when an announcement will be made at this point is beyond me.

Its done when its done and there's no reliability about anything until that moment. No matter who says what.

Pepe the Horseman Rob Couhig should watch a bit of WWF if he thinks an official contract signing is going to result in anything other than Dai Yonnge power bombing him through a table.


And much like WWF fans the Reading fans in social media have made up scenarios in their heads about something happening and then throwing a tantrum when it doesn't go exactly the way they've built it up in their heads.
