Another day and another issue for the Royals…
It’s simply never a dull day in the life of a Reading FC supporter right now, but events on the pitch are on the up, even if the troubles away from it still remain.
The Royals were bottom of the League One table not long ago, with nine league matches without a win and seven of those being defeats – five of those coming in succession.
Something appears to have changed for Ruben Selles’ side though, who finally broke their miserable streak with a 2-1 win away at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday afternoon, and they backed it up with a thumping 5-1 success back at the Select Car Leasing Stadium against Carlisle United on Tuesday night.
A corner may very well have been turned in Berkshire, but in terms of Dai Yongge’s ownership, that is continuing to prove an issue away from the on-pitch matters.
What is the latest issue that Reading FC are facing?
And whilst many Reading fans were hoping for the misdemeanours from the ownership to stop whilst other parties are in takeover talks, it appears that Chinese businessman Yongge has failed to pay his bills on time once more.
According to the EFL’s embargo reporting service, Reading have once again been put under an embargo due to breaching regulation 17.3, which relates to failure in paying overdue tax to HMRC.
This is not the first time this season that Yongge has failed to do this, and the club were served with a winding-up petition at the end of October due to another late payment – the bill however was cleared a week later, leading to the petition being dropped.
Clearly though, Yongge has failed to pay on time once more, and it could be a case of not paying the taxes that the club owe so that he can pay the wages, which are due by the end of the week.
