Royals’ majority shareholder was present at the Madejski Stadium on Monday to witness the 3–0 victory over Bradford City and was thoroughly impressed with what he saw from Steve Clarke’s side.

Niruttinanon is now looking forward to a meeting with Arsenal at Wembley, and he described it as a significant bonus for the new owners.

“It was a massive win for the club,” he said. “It is fair to that it doesn’t come around very often. Congratulations to the coach and the team and I am sure that the fans are all really happy.

“Now we look forward to our game at Wembley. It was a fantastic atmosphere and of course I enjoyed it more because we were winning.

"The team did very well and we did not given one opportunity to Bradford. They tried very hard but it was our night.

“After the slight dip of performances from the team a few months ago, this brings back the confidence of the team and everyone feels happy.

"I hope that everyone will keep supporting us and back the team until the end of the season. We will see if it we can get past Arsenal and go the final.

"This is a bonus for our first season. We didn’t expect this and we are very happy."

However, he also stressed their main target is to win promotion to the Premier League.

“The goal that everyone involved in this club wants to see is for us to be back in the Premier League," he continued. "That is very important and we are working very hard to make sure we achieve that as soon as possible.

"That will need to take a lot of work so we know what we want and are trying to see how best to achieve it."

And he added: "Starting next year we will look into improving our squad."

A number of Reading's first-team squad are facing an uncertain summer, with their contracts due to expire in June.

The likes of Chris Gunter, Adam Federici, Pavel Pogrebnyak, Alex Pearce and Jem Karacan are all seeking new deals. But Royals are unlikely to open talks with any of the players until the end of this season.

Niruttinanon blamed the situation on the financial state the club was in when they took over from Anton Zingarevich last September, after the Russian's failed takeover left Reading FC £21m in debt.

"Once we came in, I can say that the financial situation of the club, we maybe underestimated the issue a bit and it might take us a little bit longer to have financial stability in place at the club," he admitted.

"The short-term goal is to bring back the stability to the club, whilst also making sure that we have a good team and making sure that we comply with financial fair play."

Zingarevich passed the Football League's fit and proper person test back in 2012. An early cash injection, which included the key signing of Jason Roberts, helped Royals lift the 2012 Championship title to secure promotion back to the Premier League under Brian McDermott.

But Zingarevich's investments in the squad quickly dried up and last year, plunging Royals close to administration and forcing them to sell Adam Le Fondre to Cardiff City to pay off a £1.6m tax bill.

However, the Thai consortium involving Niruttinanon, Khunying Sasima Srivikorn and Khun Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth then took control, and Niruttinanon insists they will not put the club's future at risk.

"I need to mention that when we went through the fit-and-proper process with the football league, the MD of the league told us that we are the guardians of the club," he stated.

"He said that we need to take care of the club because the club does not only belong to the owners but the fans, the players and the community as a whole have a share of the football club. We very much appreciate what he said."

And he also explained why the Thai investors got involved in Reading FC in the first place.

"A group of us were interested in investing in a football club and we went around to see what opportunities we could find in England.

"English football is very popular in Asia and it’s easier for us to grow the brand in Asia than the other leagues.

"When we were informed about the opportunity at Reading we looked a little bit deeper and we found that this is a good opportunity, not only because the team was successful last year and almost made it to the play-offs, but you also have a very good academy and the club has been recognised for the facilities of the stadium, which is very good.

"Also, it seems like everyone, the fans, have a good experience in coming to support the club at home games."

He continued: "Not only the football itself attracted us. We found that the city itself has a very good university and a lot of linkage with Asian people and students that come and study here every year.

"If you think that there are 1,000, 2,000 students coming here every year to study before going back to Asia then they will learn to appreciate the football culture of here.

"When they go back, it makes it easier for us to grow the club in Asia. There are a lot of opportunities that we see and we hope to make Reading a better football club."
