Thanks - I hadn't seen that.

It's a mess.

There's a guy called Roger Smee in the background, but his consortium are only able to buy the club out of admin if it gets that far. He's a millionaire property developer, who I saw playing for us an the 70s.

He's been in the frame to buy the club before though. Actually, he may have previously been chairman.

That's annoying, the aim in the BDSM is to get eliminated as early as possible.

Is that his plan to take reading into administration?

No.

My understanding is that his consortium can't afford to buy the club from the current owner.
IF the club goes into admin, he will step in to buy it out of administration.

The current owner won't want that.
