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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

I asked because the bbc story said the owner was called Dai Yongge which sounds scarily like one of our fans taking the Mickey
So do I, it’s us:hehe:Quote:

If Liverpool , United or Spurs etc were docked 15 points and got relegated I would 😂
But Reading , Sheffield Wednesday no
Oh come on Sludge you know the FA only do points deductions for your Luton’s ,Swindon’s, Oldhams and the like 👍Quote:

They then sold to Dai Yongge and his sister. This fool spent tens of millions on crap players with huge wages. Hopeleas managers and were appointed and our decline set in. The rest as they say..
I fully expect us to go into admin and pick up a huge points deduction with Ashley then buying us at a knockdown price.
We will be in League Two next season and still under a transfer embargo.
I have pretty much given up.
Stick with the team boys boyoQuote:

Looks like Everton may getting a points deductionQuote:
