Reading FC protest group Sell Before We Dai has responded to reports that the club is ‘close’ to signing exclusivity with a North American investment group regarding a takeover.
Reports have suggested that the club is in advanced negotiations with a North American investment group who are aiming to complete a takeover of the club from Dai Yongge.
The news comes just a day after the club announced that it was close to a deal with Wycombe Wanderers to sell their Bearwood Park training ground.
It is believed that the purchase would see the investment group buy the football club and the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
A post from Sell Before We Dai on their Twitter account reads: “1. We’re excited as everyone else, but we’ve been burned before.
“2. We have been lied to before – remember no players sold in January?
“3. There is also a pattern of good news being released when fan feeling is at its highest…and when something awful has just happened, or is about to happen.
“4. No exclusivity = no statement. But we eagerly await confirmation of exclusivity.
“5. We think Reading fans have seen enough statements for this week. Would be nice to enjoy a game of football. Sign da ting, up the Ding.”
