New Reading football club owner Rob Couhig has sent a message to season ticket holders after he completed his takeover yesterday.
The long takeover saga was finally resolved yesterday after almost two years of turmoil.
Couhig completed the purchase of the club from Dai Yongge and is now the chairman of Reading FC.
In an email to Reading FC season ticket holders, Couhig said: “As a first step of introducing ourselves to the supporters of Reading Football Club, I want to thank you as a season ticket holder for your unequivocal support of this magnificent institution.
“It is fair to say that without your support, both financially and emotionally, this club of yours might well have ceased to exist.
“In spite of it all, your continued support allowed the club to continue and showcase a quality product on the pitch, both at first team level and Academy, and keep hold of a group of highly qualified and dedicated staff both on the pitch and off.
“Your loyalty will be remembered.
“In the next week, we will begin to put forward our plans for the Club.
“I think you will find that we are ambitious but governed by our commitment to honesty, transparency, and financial sustainability.
“Without getting too far ahead of myself, I think you will find that the steps we will take over the next few weeks and thereafter are guided by the question of whether it adds value to the Club, the experience and its supporters.
“Todd, Amy, Missy, and I look forward to meeting you in person – and we’re excited for the journey ahead!
“Most importantly – Up the Ding!”
