A report in the Telegraph saying that even if Reading win play offs they will be blocked from being promoted toPL.
This is due to chinese take over of club. While EFL have agreed ok subject to conditions. PL not happy as same Chinese that were turned down to buy Hull and PL will not sanction
Maybe the season will extend to the Courts.

I am sick to death of clubs being sold to "know nothing" owners, whatever nationality
Swindon Coventry Blackburn Forest and on and on.
Hard to feel sorry for Reading fans, but I kind of do. Almost

Reading. That seething metropolis that is so renown throughout the world that even in deepest China, business people are just queuing up to invest in its glorious football team .....

I believe the current owners are keeping hold of all the land around the stadium, so they will profit from any redevelopment. New owners will just get the club and stadium

Again, makes it realise how lucky we are. Plenty of clubs being used as vehicles/playthings/development opportunities by far-east entities who will never had heard of them for most of their lives

You know the weekend's result was bad when despite this huge news for the club, I still can't stop thinking about the first half on Saturday.

I keep having shell-shock style flashbacks
