but its always Simon Jordan did it this way, everyone should do it this way... yeah he's being pragmatic and its interesting but cmon, his advice is always the contrary to actions of managers and club owners. Simon says, but his previous actions and experiences show nowt.... its a backed up devil's advocate point of view. Most contradicting ranty pundit out there
As a Reading boy I'm delighted we are being talked about now. We have been quietly dying for years now and something like the game vs Port Vale needed to be done. We miss John Madejski our steady and honest former owner for many years. Miss them days coming 8th in the PL, breaking records and winning play off finals. Feels like a lifetime ago now. 😢
As a Swans fa, I understand, but per usual, Simon is right on this. Anybody who's spent quarter a billion pounds and is just expected to sell a club for nothing is preposterous. I wouldn't, and neither would you. Even if I owned the swans I'd want to recoup something. :/
@@khylelewis The problem is that the 'insider' word is that he doesn't really care about selling the club. He's had enough and just wants to asset strip, selling the stadium and training ground for redevelopment. If someone comes in who'd pay more than he'd get from liquidating, he'd accept, but he's already moved the stadium and training ground to different companies, so they wouldn't be seen as football club assets in any liquidation. Currently he gets £1.5 million a year in rent, so he might just keep the club running on life support so he can claim that each year, but not care how the team performs. Fans would have to be brave/stupid to buy a season ticket for next season.
Not attending wouldn't have been as effective and completely impractical, as some fans will always go no matter what where they can. The fact that we have got so much coverage, shows that the ends justify the means. Even if Sky themselves were too feckless to send a reporter 30 minutes down the road from sunny West London to cover the match.
@@Akinwalesegun it’s put pressure on the EFL to act. The head of the EFL met Reading fan groups today, do you really think that would’ve happened without the pitch invasion and subsequent media coverage of the incident?
@@Akinwalesegun It has coverage now, however this was much less before where we have been largely ignored outside of Reading. As @tycosyco says, this has forced the EFL to engage and they are complicit having sanctioned the owner 6.5 years ago. Not to mentioned Talksport, Sky, most other MSN (even Radio 1!) to pay attention and none of this would have occurred without the events of Saturday. Hopefully this will expedite a change of ownership and a new rule to give the EFL more power to rescind the rights of delinquent owners. This is not about Reading FC only, but all clubs and particularly those smaller clubs who have suffered greatly that perhaps didn't have the profile we have. Change may of happened in the past if Villa hadn't been saved, a much bigger club but were in similar position.
I can’t believe that reading game not been classed has a forefit. They have directly effected port vale season. If you supporters cause a game to be ended it should reward the 3 points to the other team and should be made to refund the away supporters . Very simple
I'm guessing you've not heard about the £8000 compensation money the Reading fans have raised for Port Vale since then? All on their own volition, by the way...
More coverage on the plight on teams in the EFL needed! The understanding of other leagues by the average fan on a premiership team is non-existant with some clubs just a portfolio builder for a foreign owner.
As a Brighton fan who donned the green of Plymouth in solidarity with those guys as they did for us, days at the Withdean no roof pissing rain scout hut as board room where we are now isn’t lost on us I stop my season ticket when we got to the prem for me the EFL is the real working man’s game the prem reminds me of the WWE there is only one party I town the EFL needs to embrace the product they have on the contrary to what pundits say the championship is a fantastic league to watch, so what you don’t have the big names in the lower leagues let us make names bring young talent through ban them from moving to the prem until they are at least 21 if they have been part of a clubs academy for more than 5 years. And if the players don’t like it don’t sign a contract to a club and not honour it if anyone of us did that in our jobs especially tradesman your reputation would be ruined
If Simon Jordan thinks that he knows everything and all of the rest of us know nothing, then why was it that he failed miserably as an owner of a football club?
RUclips can take this down talksport can take this down but I’ve always said and always will say “when it comes to china, trust, care, best for others are not words I associate with them”
Actually we've had an awful lot of support from other clubs and their fans. A tiny number of Reading "fans" mocked Derby and Pompy and a tiny number of opposition "fans" have mocked us. Stick to the facts lads.
The problem began with the Thai consortium that bought the club and were only in it for the asset stripping. I can't say much more from where I am, but they are to blame for most of this mess. At least the current owner spent his own money and tried to make the club successful.
The pitch invasion has put the club and its supporters in the spotlight. This is at least putting Dai Yongge in an uncomfortable public position. I don't agree with a lot of what Simon has said, but he nailed it when he said people are supposed to run their clubs properly.
As a Brighton fan that stormed the pitch at The Goldstone fans have every right to enter the pitch and protest when their club could go under and the regulators are not listening
It was the EFL who allowed Di to take the club over after refusing him Hull!! They have now put a ban on Chinese owners,( and Russians) ,as far as I am concerned we are being punished for their mistakes!!! All around the leagues they have total contempt for the EFL!
Meanwhile Jordan is probably right to suggest that fans boycott the next home match. At this point, gate revenue is hardly an issue given tens of millions in debt. Whatever happens, IF the club can be saved, then someone with a huge investment will need to come in...
it wont give the players any confidence playing in front of an empty stadium they need the support of the fans to let them know that we are here to support them in this scary situation they are part of our family to us supporters and will never forget them
Needs noting this discussion and condemnation for our apparently disproportionate action was after they had listened to - and lapped up - Pang’s words (lies), naively assuming what he said must have been true and / or that supporters haven’t heard this before, for a long time. However valid what Jordan said, he’d probably approach this with far more empathy for us if he were more educated about these specific circumstances. We’d argue that such desperate measures are now required. This mismanagementship has been occurring for a very long time and we have shown a great deal of patience. We’re so desperate and anxious, that a lot of rational thinking concerning his points has gone out of the window!
The owner wants to put the club into safe hands what a joke, new rules need to be implemented to prevent these corrupt people doing what they do. The protest to get the game abandoned was the best course of action as it brought it to everyones attention.
Dai family was gonna buy our club Hull city. They paid a 6 million deposit, But they failed premier league proper persons test thank god, I have every sympathy for reading ,
If you are a player who has not had his wages paid, you file a winding up order, put the club into administration (you can appoint the administrator) and the debt to the current owner is written off. Selling without the debt might be easier....
Nobody can force a club into administration. A winding up order, if it succeeds, results in liquidation of the business, with its assets used to pay creditors.
@@RevSticklebackYeah, technically correct, except if you appoint the liquidator you agree beforehand that the best way to maximise returns to the creditors is to sell it on as a going concern without the debt owed to the previous owner. Happens all the time, called a pre-pack.
@@andybarnard4575 A further complication though is that the stadium and training ground have been moved to other companies, so a forced liquidation wouldn't touch those. Dai would be under no obligation to agree a reasonable rental fee for either (he currently charges £1.5 million a year for the stadium) and could just sell them at any time, to anybody - which is thought to be his intention. If the club folds, and the stadium goes, the club is dead. Properly dead. There's no alternative ground they could use. We've seen Brighton and Coventry do temporary groundshares, but they did them as league clubs.
@@RevStickleback Ah, OK! Far too complicated when there is a tangled web of related companies. If we could get the remaining Reading supporters along to Maidenhead United, perhaps we could double our usual crowd then....
@@andybarnard4575 If the club does fold and restart, and can't come to any sort of agreement over using the Madejski, playing at Maidenhead might be the only option in the short term. There's nothing in Reading remotely suitable. Maybe your club secretary/PA guy Neil could be persuaded to start off the singing again, like he used to at the Madejski.
No they shouldn’t be more patient this club have been in the premier league in the last decade they are now in league 1 and going to league 2 so this owner hasn’t done anything to improve anything and will just walk away it’s my hometown club and doesn’t deserve this and isn’t he suppose to be safe hands that was just a kop out when owners aren’t good enough why can’t they come out say I’m sorry we haven’t been good enough but they don’t it’s excuse after excuse of these owners and it’s not just reading it’s many many clubs he doesn’t even pay his players but they rules let this guy in I don’t support them but the fans are right
Forcing someone to sell their property against their will is illegal. Forcing someone to buy something against their will is illegal. Imagine you bought a house and spent alot of money and time renovating it only for me to come along with a compulsory purchase order for less than the market price, would you be happy?
There's a perfect solution, every team owner must put years full wages into a trust fund help by fifa , this then helps teams like reading when owners no longer afford wages there period of which an owner can be found. If new owner is buying a club then as part proof of funds that years salary must be paid upfront. All other owner must be paid within start of new new season or following season. The amount of interest generated on them wages could be then be used for players that struggle when don't make it. Helps the kids retrain for jobs help even players in game with there mental health. It's not difficult too set up or do. Owner should have 80% of there wealth in bank before buying a club. Not like man u situation they didn't have the money ready buy used loans against club too afford it. Not sure how u can get a loan on something you don't own.
Do you think Di was a victim of greedy agents telling him to “buy this player and that player” causing him to over spend when he didn’t know anything about our financial rules! Also he has already bankrupted two other clubs before being allowed to take Reading over!!!
Exactly! Don't like it - don't attend or buy up the club shop. Do not stop games, think of the away fans at least. Want to change it?! Buy shares in the company! Can't buy shares?!... Read the first bit again.
I trust Caroline and her ilk will be refunding the Port Vale fans for their wasted journey as a direct result of the Reading fans actions....and Port Vale should be awarded the game. As a Sheffield Wednesday fan i have every sympathy for their current plight but to force an abandonment that punishes Port Vale and their fans like that is just ridiculous.
We have already raised over £5000 for a port vale charity as sign of solidarity and that is not the rules so no we shouldn't you should have more sympathy for people in the same situation.
The abandonment wasn't planned by any group. The protest was meant to be after the game, but some decided it would be better during the game, and some of those decided to stay on and go for the abandonment. There were only about 40 people on the pitch at the end.
You buy a english club, the fans come with it like it or not. The club is more than the players, than the buildings. You may own the team, the rights, the profits, but you can never own the club. The fans are The club
The league cant force new ownership even if the rules allow it it doesn't work. They have the right to remove team ownership licences for teams in the A-League in Australia and currently there is 2-4 teams without owners being propped up by other teams in the league paying the bills . All of which reduces the quality of players and the game with no chance of new owners in sight for years!! And the want to expand the league, lol.
Is talkSPORT trying to take the oiss out of its listeners …??? If they are going to raise this subject can they do it with a pundit that didn’t nearly wipe Crystal Palace of the face of the earth as an owner please
Pragmatism and learning business processes is not revolutionary, Simon Jordan gets too much credit for this. Suppose he looks great when you've got Darren Bent offering his 'wisdom' on the same station
Simons forgetting that he put the ground ,land and training ground into another company , so if reading go bust , he can sell the rest and make a lot of his money back .
@@prvvideoonline7993 ,where did I say it was illegal , just saying it could help the owner to recoup a lot of the money if the football club goes bust . The land is worth a lot of money and this might be his thinking .
How can you blame the EFL. Does anyone praise the EFL for getting promoted. But maybe some blame has to head towards previous owners. For those clubs that maybe want a change of owner, who might getting a bit long in the tooth. Be careful what you wish for.
Jordan is paid to be controversial, to be the deviks advocate but even he must realise that football is about a good deal more than money, rules and so called financial probity. And its fairly obvious that many owners are bent.....
The world we live in now, football clubs are run on a business model from top to bottom and is 💯 all about money. Simon is spot on while its jim who likes to play devils advocate.
Getting matches abandoned is cheating, we've had this before where a teams losing and their fans invade the pitch to try and get a replay. Reading should be docked points for getting a match purposefully abandoned and they should be fined for not keeping their fans under control and bring the game into disrepute.
Mate we have had all that and more, we have not been allowed to sign players for money for over 5 years, I would feel lucky to be a derby fan compared at the moment.
This is why simon is on this show, mixing high emotion scenarios with facts and reasonable judgment, best part of talksport

Forcing someone to sell their property against their will is illegal, its coercive fraud.
Simons forgetting that he put the ground ,land and training ground into another company , so if reading go bust , he can sell the rest and make a lot of his money back .
not illegal at all. lots of clubs, which are businesses, do that
@@prvvideoonline7993 ,where did I say it was illegal , just saying it could help the owner to recoup a lot of the money if the football club goes bust . The land is worth a lot of money and this might be his thinking .
Dont die yung
How can you blame the EFL. Does anyone praise the EFL for getting promoted. But maybe some blame has to head towards previous owners. For those clubs that maybe want a change of owner, who might getting a bit long in the tooth. Be careful what you wish for.
Jordan is paid to be controversial, to be the deviks advocate but even he must realise that football is about a good deal more than money, rules and so called financial probity. And its fairly obvious that many owners are bent.....
The world we live in now, football clubs are run on a business model from top to bottom and is 💯 all about money. Simon is spot on while its jim who likes to play devils advocate.
this is money not a sport club if the fans want it buy it otherwise get lost
Funny ffp cant safe Reading..
Well hello there 😏
simon spells it out, you might not agree all the time but thats impossible anyways.
Getting matches abandoned is cheating, we've had this before where a teams losing and their fans invade the pitch to try and get a replay.
Reading should be docked points for getting a match purposefully abandoned and they should be fined for not keeping their fans under control and bring the game into disrepute.
Expect it was 0-0 at the time
@@saxon5008doesn't matter
@@bg22757 it does when he is implying we did it to stop us losing. Think port vale should be given the 3 points though
@@saxon5008 exactly Vale should be given 3 points
Dai Yong Pang FFS 😂😂😂
you try being a derby fan we had 2 points deducted twice had no money couldn't buy players no owner relegated to league 1 nearly went out of business.
Mate we have had all that and more, we have not been allowed to sign players for money for over 5 years, I would feel lucky to be a derby fan compared at the moment.
That's your typical Chinese right there
