Reading East MP, Matt Rodda, has told the Reading Chronicle that he is 'very concerned' about the ownership situation at Reading Football Club.
Issued with a winding up petition for tax related issues, the club also had until 4pm on Friday, June 30, to respond to the Football League over charges relating to paying staff late on three separate occasions.
Gaining plenty of support, almost 4,000 supporters have followed protest group 'Sell Before We Dai' campaigning for Dai Yongge to sell the club.

Reading Borough Council leader, Jason Brock, has sent a letter to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport asking for 'urgent action' in protecting Reading Football Club.
Rodda told the Chronicle, exclusively: "I am very concerned about the situation at the club and I have spoken to the Sports Minister, Stuart Andrew.
"I have asked if he will meet us, so that we can brief him and ask for help."
It is hoped that the date for the meeting will be confirmed next week.
