There may also be some good news finally at Reading where Roger Smee, who played for the club in the 1960s and was later chairman, has submitted a rescue bid.
Contrary to some reports, Smee’s bid does not depend on
Reading entering administration first and has significant local backing. But
the 76-year-old Englishman will have to come to an accommodation with ex-Wycombe
Wanderers owner Rob Couhig, who thought he was buying Reading back in the
summer only for the deal to collapse under circumstances that have never been
explained to him.
Couhig, a lawyer based in the U.S. state of Louisiana, would
still like to do that deal, by the way, which means Reading’s Chinese owner Dai
Yongge does have two credible offers on the table. Time to pick one.
