‘It’s been appalling’ Tim Dellor fumes at lack of communication from Reading FC

READING FC reporter Tim Dellor shared his frustrations at the ‘appalling’ lack of communication from the club this summer ahead of their new venture in League One.

It’s been a summer of turmoil at the club with the fans left in the dark amid financial issues, a lack of a managerial appointment and a shortage of first-team players.

The club are expected to appoint Ruben Selles as the new manager once his work visa application has been approved with plenty of work still left to be done before the start of the new campaign.

Speaking this morning on BBC Radio Berkshire, Dellor said: “It really is winding me up the fact that no one has spoken from the club since I did an interview with Noel Hunt the day that they were relegated..

“Not a word, not a single word from anybody at Reading. The owners, the chief exec, where are you? We’ve never heard from you Mr Dayong Pang.

“Even Mark Bowen and some of the guys you think of as the good guys are still not talking to us.

“There’s a rumour they (the staff) have been told not to say anything, but I suspect they are petrified and I understand that because at times we’re told not to say things about the BBC and not go racing off to the newspapers.”

The Reading fans have voiced their discontent among the way the club is being run under the ownership of Dai Yongge and have formed a pressure group ‘Sell Before We Dai’ to urge him to sell the club.

Dellor continued: “But they (the club) has a duty to keep fans in touch and it’s been absolutely appalling this summer.

“I’ve never known anything like it that a club gets relegated and a month away from the start of their season in their new league and we haven’t heard anything, from the new manager who I understand is not in a position to tell us much but anybody else. It’s just a ridiculous situation.

“I’m not taking it personally because they are not saying anything to anybody, it’s not like they are just not talking to us (BBC Berkshire).”
