The best team the Championship has ever seen in the 2005-06 season, when they won promotion to the Premier League with a record breaking 106 points, Reading were regarded for more than two decades under John Madejski as one of the best run clubs in English football.
Since Madejski's departure in 2012 though, Reading have had three owners, 15 different managers, been put under a transfer embargo, and deducted six points for breaching EFL profit and sustainability rules.
In light of the news that the Royals are in line for another six point deduction this season, HITC Sevens takes at the chaos and mismanagement of Reading Football Club, the background of their Chinese ownership regime, and what the future might hold for the troubled Championship outfit.
