Reading and Sheff Wednesday

[The Bloop]

Looks like HMRC have issued a Winding Up Order against Reading today.

Meanwhile, the Sheffield Wednesday chairman has suggested that 20,000 fans each cough up £100 to cover player wages and a HMRC bill.

That’s 2 home game tickets at their rates. Bargain.

They had a net spend of just 1.3m in the summer and are averaging over 25,000 this season. How the hell a club gets into such a mess is beyond me - other than they're paying big wages..

Be careful what you wish for. This can happen to anyone of the seventy two EFL clubs

Maybe the players have a bit more disposable cash than the average Joe attending a game in Sheffield.

I know their rivals but I wouldn’t want them wound up. Without them there’s no longer a rivalry. Wouldn’t want any club to fold.

I think you've used the wrong quote, I'm wishing for Swnsea to go out of business not Cardiff, so hopefully it does come true :thumbup:

Yes, they can go they are tramps, and we'd have Bristol, Newport, and Wrexham left :thumbup:

Very good article last week in the the mail on Reading (think it was last week!) Madjeski sold to Russians who in turn sold to Chinese who have gone AWOL. Demo last Sat with some of the same guys and girls who demoed against Maxwell all those years ago when he was threatening Thames Valley to grow out of Reading + Oxford! Sad story.

Really needs our resident Welsh Reading fan to come and explain all to us.
