Dai’s company, Renhe Sports management, has been in a court battle with former prospective Reading buyer Rob Couhig’s Redwood Holding Ltd.

Couhig, who previously owned Wycombe Wanderers, had agreed a £30million deal to buy the Royals.

Couhig, 75, is claiming more than £12m in lost potential profits after claiming that Reading’s current owners broke exclusivity rules.
