Club charged by EFL with multiple breaches of regulationsReading can accept charges or take case to disciplinary panel
Reading face another damaging points deduction after failing to pay players’ wages on time on three occasions last season. The English Football League has charged the club, relegated to League One last month, with multiple breaches of its regulations.
Reading failed to pay their players on time and in full in October, November and April. The EFL said Reading’s owner since May 2017, Dai Yongge, had also been charged with “causing the club to be in breach of EFL regulations, despite his commitment to fund the cash requirements of the club”.
