## Caption

Sometimes clubs are part of a giant feel good story that takes over the news cycle, but sometimes they die in relative silence. Reading FC was on the threshold of the Premier League twice in the last eight years, but now it languishes perilously at the bottom of the English league system, in need of a savior to keep itself afloat.

Unpaid players, toxic atmosphere, and a club that could have been the next big thing completely undone by a set of tough circumstances. A victim of financial mismanagement on such an epic scale that the sheer audacity is impressive. This is the story of how it all went in reverse.

Much Love,
The Zealand
