Sky Sports “I don’t see any reason” – Sky Sports pundit drops exciting Reading FC prediction.

Reading may be hurting financially, with fans hoping that owner Dai Yongge will sell the Berkshire club as soon as possible, but results on the pitch have been positive under Noel Hunt since Ruben Selles’ departure, impressing Sky Sports analyst Don Goodman.

The Royals have been struggling financially for years, and there have been numerous false dawns involving a despised Chinese tycoon selling out to another party. Rob Couhig, the former chairman of Wycombe Wanderers, appeared to be in line to lead the Berkshire club, but his bid collapsed in September. That has kept Reading fans apprehensive for the past three months, with no end in sight to their off-field problems. An embargo, transfer restrictions, and a points deduction all contributed to their downfall during the 2022/23 campaign, and such concerns are likely to resurface in the near future unless a buyout is secured.

Some of the off-field challenges that both Selles and Hunt have had to cope with throughout his time in Berkshire highlight their achievements, as Reading have consistently swum against the tide under Yongge’s ownership. Hunt has been in charge for just over a month, winning three and drawing two of his first seven league games while continuing to defy the odds.

Don Goodman’s verdict on Noel Hunt and Reading

Reading are still in the play-off picture, and the news off the pitch is also looking better. According to The Sun, Paul Taylor, a banker and investor, has been in talks for some months about purchasing Reading and saving them from an extremely catastrophic condition. Don Goodman has been impressed with Hunt since his arrival under challenging circumstances after Selles joined Hull City in the Championship. He has won three League One matches in a row at Reading, and we wondered how impressive that feat is given the circumstances. Speaking to Football League World via Plejmo. com, he said: “Reading are fighting to stay in the top six. . There are some teams who are beginning to hit some form, so their point away at Charlton, who are trying to hunt them down, was a good one.

“I don’t see any reason as to why Reading can’t stay in the top six. Noel Hunt has stepped in seamlessly and the fact that it’s a club he knows and loves will have helped him and helped the fans get behind him.

“He’s had a brilliant start in charge. The group is good enough to keep them in the top six but the key for Reading is not to let anyone leave during the window and for them to keep their best players fit.

Reading’s January plans could be vital amid takeover talk

Reading continue to defy the odds with some outstanding young talent on their roster. Due to their inadequate squad size, Selles and Hunt have been compelled to throw numerous teenagers into action earlier than expected. Unfortunately, because to their ownership status, the Royals have had to fit square pegs into round holes, with the EFL limiting them to only one addition during the summer transfer window. Chem Campbell was the only one to join, filling a gap left by Femi Azeez’s departure. The failure to consummate a takeover does not help Hunt, since he began the January transfer window with the club still under a registration embargo until a breach of Regulation 16.7.4 Submission of Annual Accounts, meaning for now, there will be no fresh faces added to the squad.

Reading will be aiming to bolster their squad prior to the end of the transfer window, if the ownership issue is resolved and confirmed in time. At some stage, the club will hope that they are in a position to recruit more seniority, but in the meantime, they won’t be able to make any further additions until current owner Yongge sells the club.
