EFL Unable to Force Sale of Reading FC Amid Fan Protests

Owner Dai Yongge Resists Selling Despite Fines and Accusations of Asset-Stripping

Reading FC owner Dai Yongge has been described as a 'hooligan' by MPs, with the EFL admitting it is unable to force him to sell the club.
Yongge has been fined by the EFL for failing to deposit money into a designated account, but these fines have been deemed ineffective as he refuses to pay.
Reading FC has been docked 16 points in a turbulent two-year period, and the club's game against Port Vale was recently abandoned due to fan protests against Yongge.
Despite receiving bids for the club, Yongge has refused to sell, leading to accusations of asset-stripping as top young players are sold off.
Reading FC's CEO Dayong Pang has asked fans to be patient, claiming that the protests are hindering the sale process.
