UNOFISHYLEE CONFIMRED - The 2nd final countdown

[RG30]

Kieran Maguire on the latest POF podcast saying the deal has never been closer.

I like KM, but thats a bit of a nonsense comment tbh

[Stranded]

Apparently Couhig is on BA224 flight from New Orleans to Heathrow later.

Anyone fancy being the new bush watch person tomorrow?

Is there actually any reason for him to be flying in - this just feels like a Twitter rumour to me.

If the deal is done bar signatures, it will be with the lawyers and Couhig will just need to sign the paperwork which can be done from his home if he so wishes.

I would be surprised, if after last time, he comes anywhere near the UK until the deal is done.

Agreed. His insight, opinions and analysis of public information second to none. But his ITK knowledge of what's been going on at Reading has consistently been wide of the mark.

yeah. I think its just someone who is looked at as being the aficionado on the subject, so sometimes feels he has to comment on certain things that he doesn't have any more knowledge on that your average fan, so offers some vague general comments which just match the current noise we all hear anyway.

I thought RC lived in the west of the states, Why is flying from New Orleans? Note to Royal Ginger, it's due in at 12.40 tomorrow, can you go to arrivals in T5 and watch out for him?

Pretty sure he's Baton Rouge area so New Orleans makes sense for a direct flight to UK.

Yeah, has Dai half signed on the dotted line?

Stupid comment

[tidus_mi2]

The club definitely could do with a big clear out assuming this takeover completes.

Dai clearing out aside, where do we think this big clear out will come? The playing squad is bare bones really and will lose some of the out of contract players plus we’ve already had a number of cost cutting initiatives in the last couple of years.

The only thing left that would make a significant difference really would be with the academy.

As an aside, one of the worst aspects of the last few seasons is we’ve reached a stage where when we talk about “the club” doing this or that we don’t really know who/what “the club” is. Is it Dai? Is it the CEO bloke? Is it some work experience dude doing the comms?

It’s not so much a clear out that’s needed as a clear, structure to replace whatever is going on now. Can’t imagine it’s been much fun for anyone associated with RFC in a working capacity these past few years .

I think he means the club needs a clearout on the non playing staff, and TBF he has a point.

Yeah, heard too many rumours of problematic staff members, rumours so take with a pinch of salt but it feels like a "no smoke without fire" situation.

I’m optimistically going to say maybe the deal is done and he’s coming in for the photos

You guys - there are numerous reasons why he might be coming to the UK. Business connected or unconnected with RFC etc.

He's paying the bills for the time being, isn't he? I think I'd want to come over and make sure it's being spent in the right areas.

Kieran Maguire on the latest POF podcast saying the deal has never been closer.

Given the club will likely finally be sold at some point, then every day it’s getting closer.

[Millsy]

I am my own source and I can reveal the deal is looking closer than ever before.

You heard it here first.

[Winston Biscuit]

my ITK source tells me that today's mid morning yoghurt snack has never been closer for me

[Winston Biscuit]

I am gonna LOL if he just gets a connecting flight here and goes straight on somewhere else

[Stranded]

You guys - there are numerous reasons why he might be coming to the UK. Business connected or unconnected with RFC etc.

Of course, my point was more that the "fact" that he has coming to the UK at all is based on someone searching New Orelans to Heathrow on Google Flights and saying he's on that flight.

Chill out Huang.

[Royals and Racers]

One person we can’t afford to lose is Brian Carey- head of recruitment.

[Forbury Lion]

If anyone on here is Huang Kad I reckon its Elm Park Kid.

If you translate "huang kad" from Cebuano (Google detected this as the input language) to English it reads "You are here".

Cebuano is primarily spoken by the Cebuano people in the Philippines, particularly in the region of islands known as Central Visayas

The Cebuano people, also known as Sugbuanon, are the largest subgroup of the larger Visayan ethnolinguistic group, which constitutes the largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group.

Soooo.... Anyone here from the Philippines?... or anyone called Phillip Innes or Ino?

Kad can also mean ticket in Chinese, so maybe someone from the ticket office?

or just some random name generated by this twitter user.

He suggested we were at the two cheers stage.
