Partner of Lewis Wing fumes at Reading’s issues as ex-players slam the EFL and Dai Yongge

Yazmine Delarose, the partner of Reading’s Lewis Wing, fumes at Reading’s issues as ex-players slam the EFL and Dai Yongge.

Wing, who signed for the Royals from Wycombe during the summer had had the most successful season of his career. But unfortunately, the entire season has been marred by various off-field issued, including points deductions and transfer embargoes.

To add to the turmoil, the club are selling their Bearwood training ground back to Wing’s former club, Wycombe Wanderers.

Clearly frustrated with the situation, his partner Yazmine Delarose expressed discontent with the club’s ownership on social media.

“I’m the partner of one of the current Reading players & this is what I wake up thinking everyday,” she tweeted. “My family and I joined Reading with the excitement of being able to finally settle down and be a part of a family club with an exciting future. It’s been based on lies since day one.”

The EFL was also criticised, adding: “I’m sure you all enjoyed your comfy board meeting sipping coffee and having biscuits while players, players families, employees and fans are in utter distress and worry for the future! After all..you have played a part in this scandal EFL after accepting him to be a club owner!”

Meanwhile, former Reading striker Kevin Doyle hit out at the EFL and Dai Yongge, saying: “This is a disgrace, Reading FC is being sold for parts, some fit and proper owners test that was EFL.”

Yakou Meite said: “So sad to see what is happening at Reading. I really hope that everything will be resolved soon, all the fans and people working there don’t deserve that. Always a royal.”

Tom McIntyre wrote: “What an absolutely shocking decision! Nothing short of a disgrace.”

Pundit Carlton Palmer said via Football League World: “Reading, who are five points outside of relegation from League One, have reportedly decided to sell their training ground, Bearwood, to their near rivals Wycombe Wanderers.

“What I can’t understand, this has now put off any prospective buyers which is disastrous for Reading and their supporters.

“I understand the problem is that if they couldn’t meet the shortfall that they’re due then they were due more points deductions.

“So he was open to selling the training ground and now he’s about to sell it, and all the parties that were interested – including Leo Rifkind – have said that they’re no longer interested in buying the football club.

William Storey, who was said to be interested in buying the Royals, tweeted: “Bearwood Park is a fantastic facility.

“Given the significant previous investment by Dai Yongge it seems a tragedy for the club that this jewel of a training ground is to be sold.

“The whole situation is a fiasco. Hopefully for the fans a renaissance is not far away.”

Reading based band, The Amazons said: “‘Disgrace’ is a word overused in the football discourse but here it feels painfully apt.

“Selling off one of our few remaining assets to a local rival.

“After years + £millions of investment?!

“Hindering our chances of being bought Destroying our chance of a future Disgrace.”

On Friday evening, hundreds of Reading fans turned up for a protest at Wycombe’s Adams Park.

A statement released by Sell Before We Dai reads: “The deal is not done yet, there is still time for the Dais, Pang and Couhigs to do the right thing and stop it.

“In parallel we, with STAR, will explore every option, including forced administration if necessary, to prevent this deal from going through.

“This asset stripping has already deterred potential investors. The previous that the club would be sold as one package has been broken and means we must continue to make a noise.”

Twitter users reacted as the partner of Lewis Wing fumes at Reading’s issues as ex-players slam the EFL and Dai Yongge….

@RGray46: So sorry for you and your family. My husband is a steward at the Club so waiting to see if he still has a job, like many others. We’re all broken by what’s happening, but Lewis and the rest of the boys have been immense and we’ll be behind them tomorrow Xx

@Huntyroyal: Thank you for speaking out so sorry this has happened to you and so many others at the club

@Pickettlickett: If it makes any difference, we stand with wingy and any other player who has stuck with us through this horrific time. Thank you

@UTD1871: Players, families, staff. We’re with you all the way! #readingfc

@lewisosman01: We are sorry that the situation has impacted your life at home, your partner has been on of our many saviours keeping this club going, we are indebted to him. I believe there’ll be a day that the lie you were sold, will become the dream that you bought into, hopefully soon!🤞

@maxiebadger: As much as I would hate to see it, wingy is too good for L1 and he will find his new family club next season. He’s been immense for us but we all know he will be gone. I don’t blame any of them for looking for clubs now tbh.

@saiint: No matter how it ends, just know your partner will be remembered by us all for a long time. Wishing you all the best in whatever comes in the future.

@Readingfanman: We appreciate Lewis wing a great deal for who he is on the field. I hope that after summer that you find a club which allows you to settle, I don’t think anyone could begrudge any of our players wanting to move currently.

@Jamie_Hodder21: Totally with you and your family on this. Just let him know that we will back this team until we no longer can. They keep us up and keep us a chance of being sold then they’re go down as hero’s in my eyes. Lewis Wing is magic 🎶

@TalkReading: Horrible situation and can only say that the fans are fully with the players. Lewis Wing has been the ultimate professional despite the shitshow. I hope you find a better club in the summer 😢

@PrincelyRoyalty: We are all with you @YazmineDelarose. The club loves Lewis and we can see Lewis loves the club. We all want it to be what it is – a family focused club.

@Lee_Richards1: Just know though that we love your partner probably more than you do 😂 💙🤍💙🤍

@Nozzzaaaaa: We are all so proud of this team – they are something very special. I hope and pray we get a new owner quickly who can deliver all that was promised so we can keep them. We will continue to fight on for our club – it can’t be allowed to die 🙏🏻

@Stephan65595292: Hi @YazmineDelarose – have the players demanded a meeting with Bowen/Pang to get some answers? I think it would be quite powerful if the players had their own little protest too ❤️

@claredoc76: So sorry that all of the players were duped. I feel for Charlie Savage, too. Left all he knows in Manchester for this! Lewis & the boys have remained ultimate professionals & we are so proud of this team. I’ll be gutted to lose any of them. But who could blame them for leaving 😢

@James89349764: Lewis has been intense this season, player of the season for me and we appreciate everything. Thank you to you for your support!

@joel_shelton: Hopefully this doesn’t tarnish the relationship Lewis has with the club and fans. We’re all behind the team and hoping for stability. Anything that can be done to get Dai out, we’re onboard!

@LovegroveMatty: Massive respect Yazmine for speaking out, the squad have nothing but admiration for battling through all of this. We’ll always be behind them. Really hope all this gets sorted before it’s too late.

@AndyRFCCharman: Heartbreaking. So very sorry. And full credit to Lewis and his team mates for continuing to fight so hard for our cause.

@loyalroyalstu: So sorry you both been deceived like we have. Lewis has been just brilliant for us this season 💙 without him we would be in a perilous position football wise. We however still are through no fault of fans or players we can only pray one day we will be a family run club again 🙏🏻

@drawn2water73: Thank you for speaking out. You have a voice that matters and can make a difference. It must be incredibly draining on the mental health of the players, staff and their families. We are 100% behind you all. This club has always been a family club and we can’t let that be ruined
