windermereROYAL Just listened to Nigel Howe on the podcast, it would seem some prospective buyers are surprised they`re not getting the hotel too and some are concerned that we could lose all the car parking space when the royal elm park development finally starts, said he hoped they could buy that too, fukks sake how realistic is that?

Where did this story come from?

Sounds like Howe is targeting late March/April to have a new owner in. So basically, huge month ahead
Some pretty grim reading there without the EFL ruling out us getting chucked out.
"The EFL noted that Reading FC is one of the first to be referred under this rule, which was updated in June 2023"
The principle the EFL adopts when seeking to ensure future compliance and sporting integrity, is that future sporting sanctions for the same or similar breaches should be in excess of what has previously been imposed.
from an EFL perspective, Reading FC has taken a decision to assemble a squad at a certain level and based on the owner's position, has demonstrated it cannot now afford to maintain it

There's some strained logic in their decision making."The EFL noted that Reading FC is one of the first to be referred under this rule, which was updated in June 2023"
Aren't we the actual first.The principle the EFL adopts when seeking to ensure future compliance and sporting integrity, is that future sporting sanctions for the same or similar breaches should be in excess of what has previously been imposed.
So even though we are the first to be punished under this new rule, they've decided an HMC breach it's the same as breaching another rule for late player wage payment and therefore cummulative for punishment.

If many clubs are owner funded it doesn't matter if the wage bill is 100k a month or £1m if the owner decides not to pay it. I'd hope they would take into account what the wage bill is relative to other teams before deciding there is a sporting advantage. Their logic only works when clubs are self funding.
Snowflake Royal Our wage bill is blatantly top 10 for the division, minimum.
RG30 Mark Bowen said we had a top 3 wage bill budget on BBC Radio Berkshire earlier this season.

That probably counts the academy as well though, as I doubt we have many players on big money.
With a (first team) squad as small as ours, we'd need to be paying well over the odds to have a high first team wage bill.

Big money for the Championship, absolutely not.
Big money for L1?
Most of Holmes, Yiadom, Wing, Smith, Knibbs, Button absolutely, maybe Azeez, maybe Mukairu. NGW would have been. McIntyre would have been.
Ejaria would have been on fairly good Championship money and we'd have had to cover a lot of it to terminate the contract. Carroll probably got a bit of a pay off.
Our first team squad also isn't small. It's about 22 now, and it was about 27 at the start of the season.

Our registration list to the EFL has 11 senior players
It's not our playing staff that are killing us, it's our wider overheads. It's hard to argue the counterfactual, but I'm guessing that if we don't sign Wing, Smith, Dean and Button we still can't afford to cover our costs.

Silver Fox Considering Ashley no longer being interested feels like the only concrete thing we've been told of late I doubt it
Snowflake Royal Nationalise football.
Who said they want it to use as a car park? - probably want to do some building development before selling the club on less the car park, not realising the Thai's already did thatNathStPaulwindermereROYAL Just listened to Nigel Howe on the podcast, it would seem some prospective buyers are surprised they`re not getting the hotel too and some are concerned that we could lose all the car parking space when the royal elm park development finally starts, said he hoped they could buy that too, fukks sake how realistic is that?
People shouldn't be driving to games anyway, it is bad for the environment.
