Spuddy01 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Must be awful supporting a club that has an owner that is bat poo crazy. Oh wait...... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Horrendous situation that shouldn't be allowed to happen. There needs to be some sort of governance over football clubs and owners. They are more than just businesses and they need to be treated differently. The whole system needs to be sorted. Money needs redistributing to grass roots better. It all needs to improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Gary Neville said, football clubs need to be treated less like businesses and more like listed buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl_83 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 To be fair to the owner of Reading (and Chansiri) there is too much money in football. There is too much bargaining power with footballers and agents. If a business is consistently making a loss, how can you keep coming up with the money to finance the club? Don't forget that the payments to HMRC include 13.8% employer contributions that is an actual cost to the club. It is not just taking PAYE off players and passing it to the taxman. I don't know the answer but very strict profit laws may sort it. Ie you must make a profit and you are allowed one loss in 3 years, should see the clubs cut their cloth accordingly.

darra Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 He released a statement a week or so ago saying that he's having problems releasing money from China. Looks like getting money from the Far East to this country is a bit of a problem at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeyswfc Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 There’s got to be a better way than what currently happens. Its broken. Owner is awful, Club dies, EFL say oh well and that’s that. I get it’s a business but it’s more than just a business selling products isn’t it. It’s the heart of the community and shouldn’t be allowed to die through 1 bad owner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe run your business better then? Employ people in positions to get the most out of your money, not just throwing money on overpaid ageing players! 1 Just not bothered...

Rogers Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 It'll be like an episode of Scooby Doo, where the ghost or monster takes their mask of and it's the Mr.Taylor the janitor saying 'I'd have gotten away with it! if it weren't for you pesky kids'' In this case, it'll be Chansiri. They seem to be getting similar advice from the same Asian owner play book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
