Events at #ReadingFC highlight need for independent regulator to protect fans from errant owners like Dai Yongge. Debts, fines, points deductions, shambles. "Throughout our campaign we’ve become increasingly aware of just how little protection football fans have from bad ownership,” Caroline Parker @SellBeforeWeDai. "In our view, an independent regulator cannot come soon enough and though that still may be too late for Reading Football Club, we sincerely hope its creation will stop other football fans from going through what we have.  "As always, the devil is in the detail and we’ll take time to read this publication properly. It could be a game changer for our beautiful game though. If the independent regulator would like a test case, or would like to learn from our experiences, they know where we are."
