Around the Grounds

Guess with the amount of alleged offences (115 ish) the evidence gathering could take months/years. Or it could be that the Premier league hasn't got the balls to take action against one of 'the big boys'. Instead, let's go after easier targets Everton, Forest.
The situation absolutely stinks.

Perhaps they don’t want to get invited to an embassy in Turkey
 
As i understand it the evidence has been gathered and now City are putting together a legal team of epic proprtions to prepare for the hearing. It seems this could take a couple of years at least.

It's a bizarre move by Da Yong. Allegedly trying to sell the Club, but this has caused the main prospective purchasers to pull out. He's playing silly games by breaking up the assets. What a fiasco.

Also a bit odd that Wycombe are going for it as it's 23 miles from Wycombe on the other side of Reading. Would be a bit like us buying a training ground near Scunthorpe.

It cost more than £50 million only five years ago. Even if it sold for half that, where do Wycombe find that kind of money?

Our youth team appear to be based near Scunthorpe. That’s where the play all their home games

It sounds like it has something in the contract that means only Reading can use it, so Wycombe are pulling back.

The Reading situation is the kind of example where the Government/FA/EFL should be able to step in and stop the selling of assets just because a bloke now doesn't want to/can't afford to keep them going.

The Regulator is introduced to Parliament today apparently.

There's so much in football that needs to be tightened up, but the Reading example (also see Bury etc) is the sort of thing that needs answers first IMO.

Forest overspent by a mere £34.5m - could happen to anyone...

Bit of a weird one with Forest from what I've read because instead of being judged over three seasons as a PL club (allowed a £105m loss?), they're being judged on both EFL and PL seasons.

Ironically, the PL want their relegated teams to be judged on PL FFP and not EFL FFP or a hybrid, yet are judging promoted EFL sides on the latter...!

If it's set for only Reading use I can only thnk that was put in as a requirement at the planning stage to stop a future owner been able to asset strip, in this case it seems to be doing it's job.

The whole thing is a mess. Unclear/unfair inconsistent rulings with random penalties at the end.

Joke of a system.
