READING have been hit with another winding up petition from the HMRC.<\/p>\n
The Royals were deducted one point back in August after failing to pay players' wages on time between October 2022 and April 2023.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They were also handed a suspended three-point penalty, a punishment that was triggered in September after they failed to comply with an order to deposit funds.<\/p>\n
The points deductions came after HMRC handed the club a winding up petition back in June following their relegation from the Championship.<\/p>\n
And, according to the Reading Chronicle, they have now received another one – the fourth since Dai Yongge took ownership of the club – as Reading's financial turmoil continues.<\/p>\n
Staff were scheduled to be paid on October 31, but they are yet to receive their salaries.<\/p>\n
