They aren’t proper fans. Just plastics.
God forbid we ever go back to the Championship, they’ll soon disappear. And good riddance.

It's amazing asset stripping is allowed still
Basically ripping the heart out of the club, which may actually still go under

Back then, Reading were basically doing what Chelsea are doing to us now. And I was one of those who disliked them a great deal. They're still a club I don't particularly like. BUT my petty grumblings about the past are irrelevant, what's happening to them is disgracefu. I feel very sorry for their supporters, they don't deserve that.
All football fans have rivalries or teams you dislike, but you put that to one side when things like this happen. I really hope they're able to get rid of this guy.

A couple of thoughts on this.
Firstly, I hope this focusses a few minds in the Wokingham area on the wisdom of having returned John Redwood for the last 30ish years.
Second. I'm not sure there is evidence that the Reading owner is asset stripping. He's certainly selling an asset. My understanding is that this is to pay football related debts. Happy to correct my stance if there is evidence he is taking money out of the club (over and above a normal salary)

"Wycombe have put plans to buy Reading’s training ground on hold “due to seeming planning limitations allowing only Reading FC to use the training grounds”.

Reading owner Dai Yongge has been given a deadline of 4 April to sell the club after he was disqualified under the EFL's Owners' and Directors' Test.
The date imposed by the English Football League emerged at a hearing at the Commercial Court in London on Friday, where Yongge was trying to get an injunction against ex-Wycombe owner Rob Couhig - who he claimed was blocking his attempt to sell the Royals.

A Chinaman from Pontypool?
The owner just got bored
They were spending waaaaaay beyond their means in the championship to try and get promoted and it went to shit
Whilst I never want to see a club go under, I'm not sure the fans were complaining when they were trying to cheat their way to the PL

Sounds like a tiktok rapper that "Dai Yongge"

Exactly this, but fans don’t like to question sustainability. Including our own
What was the stated reason for his disqualification?

It explains it in the article I linked.
It really doesn't

Maybe you can explain it to me, because I don't really understand it? The EFL say he has broken their rules.

Yongge failed his Owners' and Directors' Test due to his debts in China.

Must have been another thread I did my "Only the good Dai Yongge" gag.
Why tell me it's in the article when you yourself can't see it in the article, and don't know why he was disqualified?
Thanks
