This article will be detailing why I believe that Wycombe Wanderers are the new MK Dons following the news that Reading have sold their ground to Wycombe last week.
Recap
In an article i did a few months ago, I told the story of Reading, a club with a lot of history but have recently been struggling under the ownership of Dai Yongge. Things have got worse since the last article as Reading currently sit 19th in League One and are very close to liquidation. Recently Dai Yongge has been asset stripping and has been selling everything the club owns and this is where Wycombe come into the story.
What Have Wycombe Done?
Wycombe knowing that Reading have been struggling for the past few years under Yongge have now bought the clubs training ground which will cause Reading to be without a training centre to train. Yongge has confirmed that he is no longer willing to put funds into the club and therefore if Reading do sell the training ground then players and staff won’t be able to prepare for games. This has caused outrage among the footballing community as everyone believes that Wycombe have selfishly bought a training ground from another club which benefits them but affects Readings situation even more. Fans have been labelling Wycombe as the new MK Dons as this was a similar situation to the AFC Wimbledon & MK Dons story which is too long to explain in this article. However as it stands Wycombe look set to buy the ground and make Reading homeless.
Final Thoughts
Overall I think this shows how toxic Football has become. The fact a club has selfishly decided to ruin another clubs chances of survival is disgusting and deserves punishment from the FA. Everyone will be hoping Wycombe can change their decision and Reading can become a proud football club once again.
