Very sad news, RIP Martin.

Statement from Reading FC: Reading Football Club is pleased to announce the sale in principle of the club to Redwood Holdings Limited. The takeover includes the Select Car Leasing Stadium and Bearwood Park Training Ground The formal completion of the transaction is subject to final legal technicalities but is fully expected to be completed shortly. Based on the agreement between the parties, the EFL has agreed to extend its deadline for the divestment of Mr Dai Yongge's shareholding until its next Board Meeting on 8 May. Redwood Holdings Ltd is a subsidiary of Dogwood Football LLC, which is owned by Rob Couhig and Todd Trosclair of New Orleans, Louisiana.

That Reading have survived is wonderful news for the town.

This awful, tortuous last few years has proved beyond doubt, yet again, that self-regulation, even when done with diligence and good faith, is totally inadequate for dealing with the challenge of administering English football.

Only an idiot would unconditionally unwelcome the new Orient ownership but a cautious welcome to our new overlords seems in order. As with all clubs scrutiny and accountability are vital. I think at least our outgoing majority owner recognises that, which is more reassuring than 2014. Could be good
