Reading FC Owner Dai Yongge Fails Owners’ and Directors’ Test Amid Club’s Financial Struggles

Reading FC owner Dai Yongge has failed the Owners' and Directors' Test, a significant blow to the club's ongoing efforts to stabilize its financial situation. This revelation came during a court case involving Yongge and potential buyer Rob Couhig, highlighting the complexities surrounding the club's ownership.

The court heard that Yongge's failure to pass the test stems from unresolved debts in China, adding another layer of uncertainty to Reading FC's future. The club has been facing severe financial difficulties, which have led to discussions about potential expulsion from the EFL if a suitable buyer isn't found soon.

Rob Couhig, who has been in negotiations to purchase the club, is now awaiting further details from the court case. The outcome of this legal battle could be pivotal for Reading FC, as it seeks a way forward amidst its current challenges. The situation underscores the importance of financial transparency and stability in football club management.
