Asset stripping in open sight.
Going by twitter their MP couldn’t give a shiny shit

The FA need to step in and do something otherwise £20 million is going into their owners pocket and the club lose an asset.

It's amazing asset stripping is allowed still

Basically ripping the heart out of the club, which may actually still go under

We were all disappointed to lose Coppell and Sidwell, but we lost them because Reading were miles ahead of us as a club at the time and could offer much more.

Did Reading do anything more than take advantage of football's pecking order? I bet they didn't want us to take Vickers either

This is about the running of a football league club into the ground. Whether we've had a few football related spats with that club shouldn't come into it
Back then, Reading were basically doing what Chelsea are doing to us now. And I was one of those who disliked them a great deal. They're still a club I don't particularly like. BUT my petty grumblings about the past are irrelevant, what's happening to them is disgracefu. I feel very sorry for their supporters, they don't deserve that.

All football fans have rivalries or teams you dislike, but you put that to one side when things like this happen. I really hope they're able to get rid of this guy.

A couple of thoughts on this.

Firstly, I hope this focusses a few minds in the Wokingham area on the wisdom of having returned John Redwood for the last 30ish years.

Second. I'm not sure there is evidence that the Reading owner is asset stripping. He's certainly selling an asset. My understanding is that this is to pay football related debts. Happy to correct my stance if there is evidence he is taking money out of the club (over and above a normal salary)
