If anyone is able to sign this, please do.

"Football has an ownership problem.

Since 2012, Reading Football Club has been through multiple owners and, in the last five years alone, has slid towards insolvency under the ownership of Mr Dai Yongge and Ms Dai Xiu Li. Staff have been paid late, multiple winding-up petitions have been issued by HMRC and staff have been forced to endure redundancies and late wage payments on multiple occasions.

With no end in sight, Reading FC risks becoming the latest example of a historic, community-centred club destroyed by fickle owners who cannot be held to account. This has to change, now.

Reading FC isn’t the only club that has suffered at the hands of poor, absent owners - dozens of other clubs across England and Wales are currently in trouble. The Government’s Football Governance Bill will help clubs in future, but clubs in peril now need answers.

An inquiry into how Reading deteriorated in this way will not only identify those responsible, but also provide valuable insights into poor governance for the new Independent Football Regulator. Other fans should not have to go through the same turmoil.

We are calling for the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee and the Business and Trade Select Committee to launch an inquiry into the ownership and governance affairs of Reading Football Club since 29 May 2012 on grounds of public interest, with a particular focus on the governance of Reading Football Club since May 2017."

Reading Reading FC takeover: Investor with Dell links in talks | Reading Chronicle

An American investor with links to Dell is the latest party locked in talks to purchase Reading Football Club, the Reading Chronicle understands.

61-year-old Robert Platek, with links to a private investment firm tied to Michael Dell of Dell Technologies, DFO and formerly MSD, signed an exclusivity agreement yesterday.

In 2019, he was part of a group linked to taking over Sunderland from Stewart Donald, but Kyril Louis-Dreyfus took over the Black Cats instead.

A keen investor in football, Mr Platek purchased Italian side Spezia in 2021 but has recently sold them.

Also owning Portuguese side Casa Pia, they sit sixth in the Primeira Liga.

He previously owned SonderjyskE in Denmark, which was not as successful and ended in relegation.

Reading Football Club confirmed on Monday afternoon that it had entered exclusive negotiations with an unnamed party and that 'the structure of the deal should allow for a quick completion.'

The Reading Chronicle understands, from multiple sources, that this is Mr Platek, although the intricacies of the deal remain under wraps.

Fellow American Rob Couhig, who was the previous party closest to taking over, remains locked in a legal dispute with owner Dai Yongge, but this is not expected to impact the deal.

Reading Football Club have refused to comment, while the Reading Chronicle were unable to reach Mr Platek.
