Rob Couhig has finalised an agreement to buy Reading from Dai Yongge .

The deal includes Yongge 's shares of the Royals, the Select Car Leasing Stadium and Bearwood training ground.

Couhig is the former owner of Wycombe Wanderers and US side New Orleans Storm .

The English Football League extended its deadline for Yongge to divest his shareholding until 8 May .

Reading fans were involved in a pitch invasion during a game last season .

Many went on protest marches, threw tennis balls, dressed up as clowns, stood up and chanted after 18 minutes of each game.

Reading got angry, and it worked. Yongge is no longer owner and everyone connected to the club will be celebrating that.
