Mr Popodopolous Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Reading have now paid off the HMRC at least atm. Maybe it is just Cash Flow, or is it brinkmanship, see also Chansiri at SWFC. Edited November 9, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Avoided a points deduction because they made sure all players got paid on time but other staff only got 50% of their pay with rest being paid by Tuesday supposedly Select Car Leasing stumping up to make sure they get paid.

What a horrible time to be an employee of Reading. If you are - for example - working in the Ticket Office and unlikely to be earning a great deal of money, to only get 50% of your pay at anytime of year is bad enough, but this close to Christmas must add to the stress and anxiety. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 I thought the sale was due to go through very shortly (i.e this week). I guess their owner dai yunge (sic) has decided to literally not put any more money in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL's contribution will be vastly reduced if not negated this season I expect. I wish Reading and Sheffield Wednesday well in their off pitch sagas. That will only likely happen if a significant portion of Scott’s fee was due immeduately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Reading merely appear to be a bit late with certain things as opposed to not paying verbatim. https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/23970949.reading-fc-removed-efl-embargo-settling-hmrc/ It's hard to understand what is going on there. Cash Flow sure but the reasons for the difficulty? They literally seem to pay late, go into embargo then a few days later paid and out again.

2015 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 It's sad the Football World is turning a blind eye to what is happening. I've never been a big fan of Reading FC, but no fanbase deserve what they are going through. Very worrying times ahead for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a quick look..he quotes a statement but will search further for his own thoughts.

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 The £20-25m from the Training Ground won't go to the club then?? Unsure of their Cash Losses atm, Bolton and Wigan both sold the same Training Ground within 4 years of each other so it may not be the end. They appear to have extended their CH due date by 3 months albeit unsure how as they haven't utilised the typical loophole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Sky reporting a Yank consortium are close to buying them. Which makes the timing of flogging the training ground very suspect. Given that they were the ultimate plastic club on their rise, I wonder what they’ll be like in league 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 One more bit to add. If I was a sceptic, I would say Dai Yongge, is on the negative side looking to recoup as much as he can as quickly as he can..he is somewhat down, who knows if he had Commercial Loans back in China or similar. Land and Buildings in the Home Counties can be very valuable financially speaking. Not quire sure of hiis total investment to date.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
