Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

We only really have one dedicated journo now (James Earnshaw), but he doesn't seem to post stories unless he's sure about them. No doubt that he prevents him from being 'early' with scoops, but at least you know they're legitimate.

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Next PAYE payment due today. Embargo by Wednesday it is then after smashing Derby 4-0 tomorrow. At this point a transfer embargo is like banning a homeless person from shopping in Harrods. I'm not expecting the EFL to give us any more punishments that put the future of the club further at risk, not...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Spending all that money under Dai was appalling - it harmed not just us but English football in general by contributing to wage and transfer fee inflation. Of course, we were far from the only villains on that account - some clubs had better accountants/lawyers (Stoke), others were more successful i...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Who would buy Bearwood as a training ground though - and if another club did want to buy it, why would they then allow us to continue using part of it? For example, lets say Fulham decided it made sense for them - would they really want a lower league team using a small proportion of it? I suspect ...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

There should really be some kind of compulsory purchase law regarding football clubs. If a tribunal determines that an owner is putting the ongoing existence of a club at risk then an order can be issued for the purchase at a fair compensation level. I'm not sure what body would purchase it or where...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

My best guess would be that it firstly ensures relegation as a result of lost revenue and further sanctions such as points deductions for not paying wages. Secondly, the EFL may disqualify him from ownership thus requiring a new source of funds just to fund the club on a daily basis. . One independ...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

I'm assuming that the new anti-protest laws give the police more power to act to arrest expected protesters before they get to the game, and make it easier to remove them once there. Obviously if there's a few hundred on the pitch there's nothing they can do - and they will always have to make a jud...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Shame it took an abandonment for them to express any sort of empathy. But this raises the still unclear question, they don’t have the power then who does? At the moment feels like only the UK government can intervene. That's because only the UK Gov can intervene. And to be honest it seems too late ...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

I think the situation will be making them squirm to be honest. Regulator incoming, maximum attention. They'll be dreading the possibility that this ends with liquidation almost as much as us. I believe Rick Parry is facing a select committee tomorrow (pre scheduled, nothing to do with the past week...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

It seems the only thing Dai funds properly are his lawyers to defend him. He should have been banned by now - the EFL have got a lot wrong but they're doing what they can here. Though, banning him could end up being the quickest way of destroying Reading FC. If he just refuses to sell we'd be expel...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

EFL Statement As Reading FC supporters are only too aware, it has in recent months become increasingly clear that Mr Dai Yongge is no longer in a position - or does not have the motivation - to support the Club financially as he did following the change of control in 2017.     In November 2023, the ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

Tbh getting a fine levied on the club + having to play behind closed doors will probably see the club liquidated by Easter.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

The problem with this theory is how does negative publicity speed up a new buyer wanting to buy the club? By persuading Dai to accept offers. Agree it's a complicated, difficult situation. It all comes back to Dai and his cronies for creating this dilemma. It's NOT suddenly going to persuade a man ...

Fully support whatever non violent protests that are planned. And you might be surprised how much support there is within the club itself.

Re: Should Ten Bobsworth just fukc off?

Royalwaster Ban him from the site and Kabota along with him - I can't understand in the case of the latter why this website permits him to continue with his racism. Surely there must be grounds for banning people?


I agree. I'm not into cancel culture but it's an embarrassment that Kabota isnt banned.
