Reading: Thai consortium takes over Championship club

READING: -- A Thai consortium has successfully completed a takeover of Reading, the Championship club have confirmed.

The partnership with the group, led by businesswoman Khunying Sasima Srivikorn, was first announced in July.

She will now become co-chairman with Sir John Madejski, who has been with the Berkshire club since 1990.

Previous majority shareholder Anton Zingarevich left the club's board in June, but Madejski had been looking for new investment since last year.

In a statement, Madejski said: "I cannot speak highly enough of our new partners from the time we have spent together so far."

"Madejski told BBC Radio Berkshire he estimates that running the club has cost him around £50m and also revealed the new owners have "taken on a substantial amount of debt" which had built up at the club."

I thought these footballer types were minting it.

Sounds like a bottomless bucket.

Should have bought a bar in Pattaya, that is a lot of play money; 100,000,000 Baht/year.

She's already dyed some of her hair blue. That's a nice touch. The rest will turn white PDQ.

She's probably promised him 65,000rai that he can build a lovely house on for retirement. No need worry about Chanote cos her father has given her the land, he just needs a new Hilux
