Couhig said about Sky Sports News: “It was last night at 12.30 p.m., her time, finally (done). I thought I was allowed to sleep, but the calls came at 4 a.m.. So everyone is excited,” said Reade’s new chair.
In his plans to read, he added: “We have everything there to make this club a success. What it requires is a solid hand, guided tour, transparency.
“I think this is our story, be it in the Minor League baseball in America, where we had one of the most successful franchise companies ever or with Wycombe, where we had five of the best years they had in their 134-year history.
“We think what we know what we do.”
“I don’t want to compare myself to the other guy.” Couhig added. “He had his way and I will not put 200 million pounds in. So give him his fault.
“But we believe that this is a conversation that surrounds a sport that is an existential nature. So we put the fan experience in the first place.
“The fan experience is better if you win than if you lose. It is better if the hot dog is hot and the beer is cold.”

Couhig said in an e -e -mail to reading FC duration card holders: “As a first step in introducing us to the supporters of the Football Club, I would like to thank you as a permanent ticket for your clear support for this great institution.
“It is fair to say that this club may no longer exist without its support both financially and emotionally.
“Nevertheless, their continued support enabled the club to present a quality product on the field, both at the first team level and at the academy, and a group of highly qualified and committed employees on both the field and on the field.
“Your loyalty will be remembered.
“We will present our plans for the club next week.
“I think you will find that we are ambitious, but are ruled by our commitment to honesty, transparency and financial sustainability.
“Without getting too far ahead of myself, you will find that the steps we will take over in the next few weeks and afterwards will be guided by the question of whether the club, experience and its followers increase added value.
“Todd, Amy, Missy and I look forward to meeting you personally – and we look forward to the upcoming trip!
“The most important thing – in the thing!”

Twitter users reacted with Rob Couhig in a chaotic interview with his plans for reading and an e -mail that was also sent to fans.
@Alannaoconnor3: Our new owner with positive plans for our future
@Joe1rfc: Great listen! #Readingfc
@Cazparker1871: Halleluja We now have someone who is competent.
@Dingjoseph1871: We are in safe hands
@Dubstep1988: Another big positive here: @rcouhig about income. Our expenses under DAI were criminal … but due to the fact that we never earned money. (For example, think of all players who ran on volunteers.) There is hardly anything to cut, let us do £ £ s. #Readingfc
@Talkreading: That was exactly the Reading Football Club for Dai Yongge “A big toy”. #Readingfc
@Chappsryan2000: I am so conflict with this guy. On the one hand, he could have stabilized us alone if it hadn’t been for roasting and Norman wanker. And on the other hand, his first decision was Neal Marmon, which was used about as much as chocolate monkeys. Another #YTFC puzzle
@Reading106: I wonder what the “radical revision” is to achieve the income for success? I am so glad that he is gone, I hope Rob and Gang take care of us. Still not his biggest fan monetary machine (he will lose sleep over it), but I hope you can bring part of the pleasure back.
@Saturdayroyal: 100% it gets #Readingfc
@Ptragedan: Love. Keep up for the #ReadingfC ride
@njamieson99: From this interview alone, Rob works exactly what this club needs – ‘Financial Discipline’ sounds beautiful #Readingfc
@Russwwfc: Great owner for Wycombe TBH
@Bengreenptv: Almost like Wycombe fans knew what they spoke of, and reading fans had absolutely no damn idea of who they abused and honestly were insulting because he had no guilt of his own. The von Couhig family did a brilliant work at AP, and undoubtedly they will do the same in reading
@Toomlememan2: @acunilicali
@Rfcjioej: More communication than we ever received a few hours from Dai. Love it !!! @Rcouhig @toddrosclair #Readingfc
@Richiec87: Look at the full interview, funny with all the chaos, but I think the fans will like the news. Says structure and facilities are great. Club in good condition taking into account the latest events. You have to work on Revenue & Fan Experience and this game is like no other/records the Magic #Readingfc
@DG95official: Passion begins
@Mrblthomas: Oh my god, he has a talkative dog and he doesn’t tell it. There is mutual respect in his household. I already love him #Readingfc
@Thisissisimpus: Forward and upwards The right owner has reinforced and it was not the money for the club
@Royalpainutd: More communication by Rob Couhig’s dog in a minute than in 8 years from Dai #Readingfc
@John_lavender: @Readingfc have a top type in @robcouhig
@Brfc1875_: Well said Rob, certain people see it as a toy. It is a community, it is what some people do for weeks. It is what people love, even if people try to destroy it disgustingly. EFL has to start to get rid of unsuitable owners.
@Skysportslyallallall: Fair to say that @rcouhig’s first interview as an @Readingfc owner for fans will be very lovable. Personnel, honest, hopeful … the poor guy had a cold and his dog wanted the whole spotlight, but Rob took the time to give us the best television of the day! #Royals
