We Love You Football We Do… THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE OF READING

Written By Niall Couper

JUST 12 years after playing in the Premier League, Reading are in League One, attendances are falling and the latest financial figures showed a loss of over £17m for the 2021/22 season. The club has had problems paying staff on time in recent seasons, and there have been points deductions, fines and transfer bans. So far, all attempts to buy the club from Dai Yongge have fallen through.

Our guests joining Graham Miller on this episode are Yuan Yang, MP for Earley and Woodley; Sarah Turner, chair of STAR, Supporters Trust at Reading; James Earnshaw, sports reporter for the Reading Chronicle; and John Mayes, the chair of Fair Game.
