Reading have confirmed their withdrawal from the Barclays Women's Championship next season and they will play at Tier 5 of the women's pyramid instead due to needing a further ownership cash injection to compete at Championship level.

This comes after Arsenal announced they’re going to have the biggest stadium in the world in the women’s game at The Emirates. Chelsea has a world class infrastructure and the players to go with it. Even Liverpool after the owners ran the women’s division into the ground despite winning two league titles and losing some of the biggest names in world football, have re-invested in world class infrastructure and playing staff. Clubs like Charlton, Bristol City, Oxford United, Burnley, Portsmouth, Newcastle are investing in their teams and plan to move to their main stadiums permanently. Utterly disgusting from Reading’s owners who’ve run the entire club into the ground. One director took a salary of £213,375 in the 2022 accounts and in 2021 the highest-paid director took a salary of £530,667 from companies house accounts. Well done to fans that fought against the decision and demanded the club be sold. Just because the men failed badly, the women (who actually have done really well in both Super League for years) were punished. Just weeks after the u-21’s won the league and cup double, they dismantled the entire academy, all those young players, coaches and staff lost their jobs / careers for nothing. This is a club that had the likes of Fran Kirby, Mary Earps, Natasha Dowie and Fara Williams pass through its doors. Extremely sad day for English football, especially after the three successful years the Lionesses have enjoyed as of late.
Dai Yongge once again shows himself to be an awful businessman. His third club to go to the wall, and the Reading FC mens team will soon be the fourth out of business.
Make no mistake, talk of playing in the fifth tier is just another in a long list of the lies told by Dai, his sister and their puppet C.E.O. Dayong Pang. They will not play a single game this season in any tier.
Been a Reading fan all my life and i am ashamed of this club
Heartbreaking.
They work so hard and passionately to do what they love, but they get very few breaks.
I think the real problem is they get very few supporters
Reading were the most fun to watch two seasons ago in WSL and now they are gone.
Women's football isn't fun to watch. It's painful to watch. They're a disgrace to the beautiful game.
Good riddance to yesterday's rubbish
Maybe women's teams should stand on their own two feet instead of begging for handouts from men?
@@benfroughi Are you talking about real men or pretend ones like you?
Not sustainable financially in the current model. Piggybacking off the men isn't either.
Absolutely gutted.
Terrible! Makes the troubles at Man United's women's team look immaterial!😢😢😢
BIT OF A SHITTY WAY TO COME OUT WITH IT ? JOBS ECT ! SORRY TO ALL CONNECTED TO READING ! IT'S ALL ABOUT GREED AND QUICK CASH GUY'S ! BOLTON FAN 👊🏴
Shitty ways to do things is Dai Yongge's entire MO
Why would you continue a part of the club that is not profitable and will only cost money especially when it is not likely to change any time soon? Football clubs are like a business, i can totally understand such a business decision.
Dai Yongge should never own a football club and if he is still at Reading by next season then their men’s side will withdraw from League One
@benjaminhendriksen where was this business acumen when Danny Loader and Omar Richards were lost to Porto and Bayern Munich for free?
Where was it when he was wasting thousands of pounds of wages on the likes of Sam Baldock and Sone Aluko?
Where was it when Michael Olise was sold for half of his worth because of a low buy-out clause?
It was easier to make Reading into a success, yet his shitty business ability managed to screw it up, and now the women's team has paid the same price as Beijing Rehne and KSV Roeselare. Reading FC men are next.
When
They weren't good enough and they didn't make enough money, that's life.
Hope those players and staff can find a new home. This is despicable
How is it despicable? unfortunately the women’s team isn’t profitable enough and we all know the problem with readings ownership they are hardly keeping the men’s team afloat. Owners of football clubs are business people and make business decisions few clubs can afford to subsidise the women’s team it’s effectively throwing money down the drain. They need to make the product more appealing and get more people in stadiums to earn their own revenue.
@leepowell1408 Dai Yongge isn't a business person. He is a man who got rich from a tax loophole, not through any skill as a businessman.
He has let multiple players leave Reading Football Club on free transfers, two of whom moved to Bayern Munich and Porto. He has signed players on contracts far in excess of their actual worth. Since 2017 he has wasted millions upon millions of pounds and made a club that was in a Championship play off final when he took over into a laughing stock. It was easier to succeed with Reading Football Club than it was to fail, and he has not only failed, but done so spectacularly.
@@dajo8723 I know about the reading owner the man is a fraud I agree with you the way he has treated the club and supporters is a disgrace I was talking about football club owners in general
How many times you go to women’s games?
It's really sad 😢💔
I hope women's football gets better. This video makes me cry
😢
It's called market forces. It's the same as any business that can't finance itself.
Crazy
Why? If they’re not financially viable then it’s understandable. Women need to start supporting women
Not crazy at all , there maybe more to follow
Womens football needs to stand on it's own two feet if it wants to survive it can't rely on mens football to support it indefinitely, that's expectation and privilege
There’s a team in the championship, unconnected to any men’s club that just signed the Sweden captain and the former Lyon and PSG manager.
Some clubs have seen the potential of growth in the women’s game and are investing in it in order to benefit from what’s to come whilst others are pinching pennies.
The attitude of owners towards investing in their clubs is no different in women’s football to men’s. Some owners are prepared to invest to reap rewards whilst others don’t want to put in a cent even if it causes inevitable failure on the pitch.
😫😫😫
This changed my life. Thank you, Sky Sports News
More interesting news than anything that’s happened to Spurs in the last 15 years
@@robertdenton3617it’s really not
@@Onespurs97 considering I'm caring more about this than the fact spurs exist atall... its up for debate
@@Onespurs97 completely non biased opinion from onespurs97
yeh let’s just report on things ur interested then i guess…
It's a business, why should it be treated any different. Sad yes, but they aren't a top team these days.
And the owner has done everything to ruin that business just like he did to his other two teams and is about to do to the whole of Reading FC
Football is in the entertainment industry. If you don't make money, you're wasting your time. The question is can the woman game stand on it's own two feet do you get enough people watching? If not, then do you prop it up so you have a political correct out come. It then starts to look a little bit like the women's basketball ball league in the USA.
Sell the club to a women’s group !😳😳😳
Absolutely disgraceful decision
Nice piece of left wing propaganda by sky sports, it's a business decision saying what the analyst said is utter nonsense.
Left wing? Please explain
Right wing bot spotted.
Well womens football does not put bums on seats in smaller areas ...
it has nothing to do with that
@@jxshh12 it said in the video the decision was financial so the womens football not getting bums on seats in the smaller stadiums does have something to do with it
@@ymeger3gaming678 nope. obviously it was financial, but not caused by lack of ticket sales. they were in the top league not long ago and had no financial issues. the problem is with the owner mismanaging the club. the blame should not be passed down to the fans
@@jxshh12 you said it has nothing to do with ticket sales thats all. Also seems like they havent been in the top flight for a few seasons, and yes the owner is to blame but them not being able to sell any tickets does have an affect we are still at a point where not enough people care about the womens game which is sad yes but we dont have to care about the womens game its just the way the world works
It's womens football. No one cares.
Says the little fella that searches for women’s football videos. 🤣
@@metube9541 people don't search for videos of dishwashers.
@@benfroughi You tried, you failed
@@metube9541 failed like reading women lol
Boys not ready to spend the cash on their ladies 😂😂.
They failed to do their job and got relegated and then failed to get promoted. I can 100% understand this decision.
Hilarious. Are the women screaming for equal pay not going to watch women’s football??????
Hopefully 1st of many. Womens football is as boring as curling
Nobody cares
