Reading are trapped in a three-way battle of brinkmanship involving owner Dai Yongge and two potential buyers, American businessmen Robert Platek and Rob Couhig, leaving staff at the club fearing they will be forced into administration next month.
Several sources have told the Guardian that it is “touch and go” whether the League One club have sufficient funds to complete the season, while they also face the threat of being suspended from the English Football League (EFL) if Dai does not sell the club by 5 April.
