When Dai Yongge was greenlit to buy @ReadingFC by the @EFL he had a 100% track record of bankrupting football clubs. It is no surprise that the same is happening again. We now sit and watch the funeral procession of the club’s assets, and value, being stripped bare. For shame.

We’re so chuffed to be profiled like this in @smh & @theage. Special thanks go to @NeilMcMahon for not making me pay for saying ‘I like balls’ in an on the record interview. https://t.co/57qGQ2Tyhl

Tough to know what to say, the shock is so profound. Mike was a good man and a heck of a journalist. Desperately sad for his family, who are in my thoughts.

Gary Neville, Jeff Stelling, Ian Wright. Yesterday feels like a turning point. Thank you to the fans that protested and those using their platform to help the cause. Without new EFL regulations this could be any club and any fan base. #SellBeforeWeDai

There’s really no way to say ‘we won an award’ without sounding like a twat so here’s a cute dog posing with it to take the edge off the twattery.

There aren’t many things that can match a Mary Carillo voice note for brilliance, but Reuben (and cat) have achieved something remarkable here
