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

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Sadly numb to this when I saw the news

Just boring

[Gunny Fishcake]

Until this horrible corrupt thieving arseole of a so called owner is out of our club we're effectivly bankrupt and insolvent , nobody will touch us with a bargepole while the stench of this disgusting gang are connected with our club

[Snowflake Royal]

On the plus side, we could very easily go full circle by getting relegated and Liam Moore using the many millions we pissed up the wall on him to buy out Dai and take over as owner.

Perhaps in a consortium with Pog, Drenthe and Aluko

[blythspartan]

Sadly, I am not surprised as it’s become the norm for us. I expect we’ll have to endure more points deductions over the course of the season.

The signings during the transfer window gave me false hope, but deep down I thought Dai would probably oxf*rd it up. Anyway, onwards and downwards.

I`m afraid sir John is far from blameless for this mess, started with the bent Russian and just accumulated.

[Webster750]

Why are new topics/threads on the board frowned upon?

Are discussions surrounding the most recent points deduction at all easier to find/respond to when spread across numerous random pages on different individual threads?

[Snowflake Royal]

If we had a decent owner, we'd have Wilder and a slightly stronger squad off a better preseason, and probably be sitting top 10 comfortably.

Because they're annoying and yes?

We've got enough threads on it already, zero need for more. HNA isn't Reddit.

I’ve not long woke up to work a night shift and seen this news. I don’t why I’m surprised about this but I am. Dai has had time to get this money sorted and I stupidly thought he would. This idiot really is gonna take the club into oblivion if he don’t sell and get out.
Despite relegation I was looking forward to this season with the youth coming through and even got a season ticket for the first time in a long time as I never have to work Saturday any more. But this keep happening coupled with living in North Notts and I don’t know how often I can be bothered.
Is it wrong that this has made me feel utterly depressed!

[genome]

No, of course not. What's the point in being enthusiastic about a young team getting wins when those points are just going to be taken off you? It's soul destroying.

[Loafer]

Why do people still support and watch the club?

Non league football is way better

We will go bankrupt at this rate but to be honest I don't oxf*rd care anymore

[Hound]

Difficult to see what either Dai or the EFl’s endgame is here. Dai just hanging around, EFL powerless to do anything than keep dishing out points deductions which Dai clearly couldn’t give a monkeys about

[Norfolk Royal]

Surely Microsoft which has it’s HQ in Reading would be interested in a goodwill gesture of some sort.

Why do you think it's better? Just curious

[Ascotexgunner]

If we had a decent owner, we'd have Wilder and a slightly stronger squad off a better preseason, and probably be sitting top 10 comfortably.

If we had Wilder without the slightly better players we would still be up the table and laugh at the latest deduction.
But don't worry....we have the REAL DEAL according to Bowen......

[Royal_jimmy]

If we had a decent owner we wouldn't be in league one. We'd still be in the championship

EFL Statement: Reading FC
General

Words: EFL

Reading FC have been deducted three points from the 2023/24 League One table after the Club failed to comply with the order of an Independent Disciplinary Commission (IDC) which required them to deposit an amount equal to 125% of the Club’s forecast monthly wage bill in a designated account by 12 September 2023.

On 15 August 2023, the IDC had determined the Club had breached EFL Regulations related to the Club having failed to pay its players’ wages on time and in full on or around 31 October 2022, 30 November 2022, and 28 April 2023. The Club received a one-point deduction, with a further three points suspended.

As a result of this latest instance of non-compliance by the Club’s ownership, the suspended sanction has been activated and, as per the Commission's instructions, applied by the EFL to the League One table with immediate effect.

The EFL continues to acknowledge the negative impact sporting sanctions are having on the Football Club and remain extremely disappointed and frustrated at the Club’s ownership to meet its ongoing obligations under EFL Regulations. The League will continue to apply its rules in all circumstances deemed appropriate.

The Independent Disciplinary Commission’s Written Reasons can be viewed here.

SICK of this utterly depressing miserable method of running a club. That said I can only presume that it's just not possible for the club to comply given that Wigan couldn't do it either as it'd not exactly be in owner's interests to drop their clubs further into the **** particularly if they're looking for more investment. Please god let this damn regime end and go quickly.
