A direct financial return on investment in the women's team for at least five years is not feasible, prompting Reading owners to consider selling the club, as existing financial constraints prevent required funding.
Efforts to secure external investment for the women's team faced challenges due to operational complexities around separate ownership models within Reading FC.
Reading FC Women's decision to withdraw from the Barclays Women's Championship disappointed board members, who had attempted to support the club and avert this outcome amidst financial struggles.
