What's the betting the Arabs don't meet Madejski's valuation of the club?

This deal was ready to through weeks ago, but JM had a change of heart and the deal collapsed.
Not sure if the deal has been ressurected, or whether the papers are just a few weeks behind.

Or pull out when they are told that he doesn't want his name removed from the stadium?!
Maybe they could put a massive Saddam style statue in the car park instead - I have my shoe ready!

My mate's dad worked on drawing all the paperwork up. It's not dead, and most people behind the scenes still believe he'll sign, but the worry is by the time he's ready to, the arabs will have pissed off.
Maybe we'll get a call to 'prayer' every Saturday at 3pm!
All hail the mighty Royals!

nightmare scenario for any self respecting FOOTBALL CLUB.
It will certainly be one extreme to the other!
Not a bad price if true for the A-rabs.

If he does sell the club soon it would explain why the players who command a fee have been sold off. To balance the books before a sale presumably.

See Team Board, although technically a correct posting.
