Reading FC has issued a late-night update on the ongoing takeover by 75-year-old Rob Couhig, as negotiations continue beyond the anticipated conclusion date. Although the English Football League (EFL) has approved the deal, the official takeover is still pending.
The club’s statement acknowledged the complexity of the deal, citing the need to transfer multiple properties and navigate varying local laws across 14 time zones. These challenges have delayed the process, despite efforts to complete it before the transfer window closed.
Reading assured fans that discussions about potential signings are ongoing, with the club working diligently to bolster the squad before the transfer deadline. Rob Couhig, who has been frequently visiting Berkshire, is set to attend Reading’s upcoming League One match against Charlton Athletic, further demonstrating his commitment to the club’s future.
