CONFRIMATION of the CONFIMRED

[From Despair To Where?]

I remember a poster called Stryker who had an unhealthy dislike for Pardew.

ahh yes, he was just unpleasant iirc, while dodger was just an annoying moron.

There was some chatter on Twitter yesterday - some of it hidden - but the salient point seems to be:

It appears after getting some legal advice.. we can actually be liquidated/admin while RC holds the Liens. So all this Couhig is saving us narrative is actually nonsense.

Make of that what you will...

SDR constantly referred to Pardew as “the vicar.” I often wondered why.

i thought it was a horrendous play on the word "Padre"...but Im probably wrong

That sounds dreadful enough to be true.

That always seemed hot air to be honest, and somewhat immaterial, as the threat to the club isn't administration or liquidation right now, it's being thrown out the league.

I have a solution

Platek buy the club for £12m less than the agreed price, He just leaves Couhig's leans on the assets, They only prevent Reading FC from selling those assets, not the sale of Reading FC.

Case gets settled, spare money gets sent to Dai Yongge

Was SDR the 'get rid of Pardew before the Brentford game because he won't win it, bring in ***** (who I can't remember)'

Then spent the close season saying he was right because we drew the game.

"Top 2 or nothing!"

As irritating a catch phrase as "will the middle solve the riddle?", but sadly (given our horrendous play off record) very true!

That Waylon Mercy character on BBC football comments seems reasonably similar to SDR.

I always found SDR to be anything from mildly annoying to amusing.

Yes, good point, SDR and Waylon Mercy both like to give the impression that they are the centre of everyone’s attention, whereas actually, no-one gives a toss.

I think the concern works in tandem; if we get booted out of the league, then we are a football club with no reason to be one. It’s my limited understanding that if a company is to go into administration, that requires the consent of all creditors who hold both leverage and priority over next steps. I have no idea who the quote above is attributed to, and as is has nothing to support it, so I’m sticking with my understanding for now.

Say we come down to the point where Couhig has basically checkmated Dai legally and he has no avenue to sell to another buyer in the time frame. At which point Couhig offers the same deal as he did last year and Dai is left deciding whether to accept or let the club die.

What do people think he would do? Legitimately?

I think if Dai is faced with folding the club for nothing or selling to Couhig, he'll fold the club for nothing.

STAR newsletter

The EFL held their board meeting on Thursday and have given us another 2 weeks until 22nd April to find a new buyer (or to be close in negotiations). We were very relieved that they have granted this extension and in doing so they recognised some of the complications making our sale more difficult than others. We know it has been made more complicated by Mr Dai himself, and by the involvement of Rob Couhig. Mr Couhig is doing a lot of media at the moment and is very keen for us all to hear what a great owner he would be. We know that by him holding on to the liens, it has made the whole deal less attractive to buyers. The claim that it would stop us going into administration is not true, however it would put Mr Couhig at the top of the list to buy us. Mr Couhig holding the liens may make it harder to liquidate - we hope we never have to find out.

STAR are of the opinion that the judge last month provided a clear sale pathway and we need everyone involved to do what is right for the club, not purely serving their own interests. We need the club saved and we wait to see who steps up to the plate be that the person in exclusivity, Mr Couhig or someone else.

We wrote to each of the Directors of the EFL, asking for their help and asking them to remember what the impact would be on our whole community. We received some heart-warming replies from some of the CEO's from other teams. They explained that they understand our feelings and emotions as supporters. We understand however that it is competition, and at the end of the day there are some clubs that would benefit from us being suspended from the league.
