"Reading’s cash crisis is under further scrutiny after they were placed under a transfer embargo for failing to pay HMRC on time.

After missing another deadline for the tax bill to be paid, Reading will be placed under restrictions and are also facing a fourth winding up order in another embarrassment for owner Dai Yongge.

Reading are in danger of sustaining another points deduction if they fail to pay wages to players and staff this Friday.


Yongge is under huge pressure to sell up after racking up 16 points in deductions for breaching the EFL’s financial rules. Fans are set to protest this weekend during the home match against Burton Albion, as Yongge’s turbulent tenure lurches from one crisis to another."

An x colleague is a Reading fan, feel sorry for the fans. Country is in a mess, rules flouted and broken. Morals are seriously lacking in our society.

When we have a Prime Minister who lies, cheats and laughs off even serious issues it's no surprise ...

... as Johnson and Trump have shown you can say the most ridiculous things ... people will just smile, nod and go along with it.
 
Coming over from France, to see the Norwich game end of October. Just got the match tickets sorted. Haven't been able to make it to a game for way too long. My son's first match, 12 year old. My dad coming with (also from France), and also picking up my grandad, who's in his 90's, from lake District. 4 generations. Not sure if we'll be able to do this again so I'm well chuffed and excited for it.

Just an observation, but what's the crack with a these UFO and proof of Aliens stories in the news lately? Seeing it more and more. Seems every other days there's something else out.

the distraction from the real stories (those that need explaining to the masses) happens every time a govt. fecks up or they want to pass another 'silent bill' to take more from us.

Absolutely brilliant that mate, post a follow up and perhaps a few photos if you fancy it.

It's been building for years. There's been a fundamental change in approach from those investigating, framing it as a flight safety and national security issue as well as toning down the 'little green men' stuff.

Basically, if they're not aliens, then what are they and who's operating them with impunity in US airspace if it's not the Americans.

Thousands of people in the UK, and millions around the world, have top notch telescopes, night vision equipment and cameras.

There are clubs and societies that meet, use observatories and watch satellites, meterorites and spacecraft.

They regularly produce incredible photos of distant galaxies, stars and comets.

Yet somehow UFOs and aliens manage to give them all the slip.

And, tbh, why would governments go to such incredible lengths to hide everything from the public ..

... I'd just think it was really interesting, I wouldn't be jumping in my car and heading for the hills, that would just get me closer to the little buggers <laugh>

hahah. Very true all of that. Its its ET that comes down, then that's fine, but if its anything like the predator.....haha
 
If all these aliens are traversing the universe to get to us in flying saucers, shouldn’t we be looking at making saucers instead of rockets if we want to get around?
