Former Reading owner Sir John Madejski says the club must rise like a phoenix from the flames, as it fights to avoid administration. A deal to sell their training ground to Wycombe broke down yesterday, meaning they face a shortfall of around a million pounds to pay this month’s wages.
Reading have been handed points deductions in recent seasons due to the financial issues surrounding the club's current owner, Dai Yongge, and are currently seven points above the relegation zone in League One.

Its criminal whats been allowed to happen to Reading. A really good club that is being ripped apart. Shameful
The EFL really need to look hard in the mirror and take big responsibility to this, rejected to acquire Hull by the Premier League, Erased 2 clubs from existence yet the EFL approved this man to buy RFC. Unbelievable.
They won’t their ego won’t allow them
yeah and now thanks to business law the EFL basically cant do much
And then they spent years punishing the fans for their own mistake!
Live fast, Dai Yongge
Haha 3-2
So sad. Local and the club has always been really solid until now. How can owners like this be allowed to get away with it?
I hope so too, I really do, it’s been heartbreaking to see this all happen to my team, I was so lucky to get a season ticket for them in their 1st premier league run when I was a kid (thanks grandad) and seeing this happen to the team that sparked my love of football, has just been horrible, I feel for any club going through a similar situation too, it’s important to remember that these clubs are so much more than just businesses.
Say what you want about him. Mike Ashley would be perfect for reading.
All I want is owners who can pay the wages and run the club professionally like we used to be. We used to be one of the best non premiership run club in England.
Now you know how Derby fans felt, we nearly lost our club, that's why foreign owners should be stopped from buying clubs, they loss interest in them when it goes wrong and have no local interest in the city's or towns where clubs are.
i almost completely agree, except for the extremely rare cases like Wrexham's american/canadian owners who are doing amazing things for the club and the town. I reckon the EFL needs procedures put in place to prevent such disasters from occurring in the first place, and contingencies for when such events like this do take place, like league legislation against owners that have enough money to save the club, but don't bother, and not just points deductions cause if the owner doesn't care enough to spend money on the club, points deductions sure ain't gonna do anything to get them interested again.
Mel Morris was English though..
If an English club was brought by Andrea agnelli who hired marrotta has their sporting director aka a club with a clear structure nobody would be moaning.
That's the main issue not the nationality of an owner.
Of course someone with experience running a successful club in Europe and South America is far more qualified than the other continents combined but that's another discussion.
Not really to do with them being foreign or not imo, I'm a southend fan and Ron Martin still almost killed our club multiple times
To be fair, Leiceister City was *GREAT* under Vichai...
It really is disappointing to see such terrible owners tarnish the reputation of the club, and deprive fans of passion. Really is heartbreaking, and I hope Reading do get new owners. Fcuk Dai Yonge
I never understand football. Surely clubs should just run themselves so that they only pay what they make. For example. If you make £150k a week from tickets, sponsorship, media money, merchandise etc. Then why not have a player wage budget of £100k, staff wages, maintenance and then keep the rest in reserve?
1.42. Dai in his Hull City top? Sums up this mans attitude - which toy can I have for Christmas, and bin on Boxing day.
Should be world wide banned from going near even a Subbuteo team.
Sad situation when a foreign owners took over a club, then lost interest and decided that they would rather the club "die" than spend their money on it
What about when they’re not foreign?
@@DNOPLAYSGAMES the reason I said foreign is because I think some of these people buy the clubs to help them removing money from their country, in other words, they did it for the wrong reason. Very few Brits can afford to buy a football club
A Chinese owner.
Big difference to a foreign owner who is from Europe or South America.
@Micfri300 sorry mate, for whatever reason I thought China was a foreign country
@@MD_ENTERTAINMENT it is but it's a country whose football history is equal to zero
Reading definitely in big trouble the question is can the team survive
Hi
Thank, Michael Owen.
Big clubs like Fear my struggle and so many start weeping.
Dozens of non league clubs close and all we hear from big clubs and their fans is silence.
Fair play to selles. Came in to Southampton for a relegation battle and now this.
And we’re still waiting for him to clear off 😡
Do they remember singing "Pay up Pompey" at us? Do they remember that? We do.
I’m a Reading fan and didn’t would never wish this on any club
Shamefully a few did. Most of us were appalled at that many years ago. And we remember you doing it to us a few months ago.
@@Dolmite69 I hope Reading survives, I really do. We'll both remember what it feels like. I wouldn't wish it on any club (except one)
Never understand why club left Elm Park. Madjeski stadium never sold out.
Chansiri at Sheffield Wed another one
rough situation, but nowhere NEAR as bad.
Waving those £20 notes at those Pompey fans not so funny now is it!
Like a dead rabbit being dug up thats reading the rabbit
the game Reading vs Port Vale got abandoned we saw the reason why I'm a Bristol City fan I went there twice we lost twice in a row I don't like the look off the ground it's half empty Reading have to attend a lot.more the fans behaviour it's rude the protests against Dai Younge it's shocking I don't care about what is going to happen to them shut up about Reading please
😅
No sympathy for southerners
Bit of an odd comment 😐
Strange
