An incredible day but take a moment to think about those at the club who have been let go due to financial issues.

From the men’s first team, the women’s first team, the academy. Everyone has felt the impact of Dai’s disastrous ownership. Thankfully it’s finally over. #ReadingFC
- Exclusivity with Platek has ended
- club supposedly in negotiations with new bidder
- Want deal at ‘earliest opportunity’, all stuff we’ve heard before, now let’s see some action

⏰ 500 days and counting, how much longer?

No communication, no answers, no exclusivity, no sale. #ReadingFC

Now the transfer window is out the way, full attention turns back to the mess of a takeover process.

I’ve tried to summarise my thoughts on the farce it’s been so far.

The club needs help, desperately @EFL
