In five months time, we have five players left. It’s grim.

150 years of history cannot be lost like this.

Help us. Save us. Don’t let us die.

Dispiriting events at Reading should concern everyone in English football. Fans are lied to, players and an impressive manager are let down, and so are staff. A thoughtless, heartless owner damages a historic club. It’s another warning to all in football. If we tolerate this, then your club could be next.

Fans at some other clubs fear similar pain or just feel relief to have escaped danger. Many will simply focus on their own form and fortunes. Football’s tribal. Most headlines revolve around the big names, the big games like Manchester City versus Arsenal. But Reading embody the pyramid, a local beacon and hub for nurturing talent. Neil Webb started there. The windfall from the Michael Olise deal helps sustain the club currently. Ted Drake learned his managerial trade at Reading before guiding Chelsea to their first title.

Football clubs are community assets and have to be protected from individuals like Dai Yongge wreaking such misery at Reading. He has his motives and his methods but none seem aligned to the club’s future wellbeing. He doesn’t communicate with fans. Reading FC Women withdrew from the Championship because of financial difficulties. Sustained mismanagement of the club has seen a failure to pay men’s players and HMRC lead to points deductions.

A proposed takeover by Rob Couhig, an American businessman welcomed by the fanbase, collapsed, leaving Yongge still in charge and supporters still in torment and again asking questions. Does Yongge really want to sell? If the club goes under is it then all about valuable real estate? Would administration and another points deduction actually be better than this shambles?

And so Reading fans rally again, fighting for their club’s life. But Yongge doesn’t listen. He doesn’t appear to care about the negativity his ownership brings to the door of the dressing-room. Ruben Selles and his whole-hearted squad give everything they can on the field, and sit a defiant 12th in League One, but they aren’t detached from the mess. It must be dismaying and distracting.

Losing Selles would be a disaster. He’s doing a good job in trying circumstances. If he left, Selles would be picked up swiftly by a better run club. Reading fans post messages of support to Selles and his squad. They will back them loudly at Bolton Wanderers today. It’s about finding the balance between demonstrating support for the team while demonstrating against the owner.

Much is right about Reading: committed fanbase, stadium, training ground, the attitude of manager, squad and club staff. It’s just the owner. It’s a nightmare that Reading are living through. And it’s a cautionary tale all football needs to heed. #ReadingFC #EFL

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
I understand Reading Football Club are in advanced talks with a North American group to purchase the football club and Select Car Leasing Stadium. A deal could be agreed, in principle, and exclusivity signed, by early next week. #readingfc https://t.co/OIDg3jFwQU

Please consider signing this, the club I and many others love #readingfc is being stripped apart bit by bit and is in real danger of no longer existing very soon.

@DevilOnADuke @KhalSir The standards of officiating in the league this season have been very poor, like to think it's swings and roundabouts but sometimes when it rains it pours! Cheers, more than anything we need some investment and new ownership pretty quickly.

[Melvir @Melvir88]

@KhalSir We didn't offer a huge amount going forwards but decisions changed the game. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us!

[Melvir @Melvir88]

@PavS_Samra Can relate, hoped you'd do us a favour

Huge fight shown by everyone tonight, great to see a battling, scrappy away win. 4 points down, who gives a f**k... #readingfc

[Melvir @Melvir88]

Unbelievable, what a win, what a comeback after the first innings. Some debut for Hartley. Sets the series up very nicely! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #INDvsENG

Reading's League One match with Port Vale was suspended when around 1,000 home fans invaded the pitch in the 16th minute, protesting against the club's owner Dai Yongge.
