Reading fined heavily and Nigel Howe to be suspended after agent breach
|
|
Reading have been hit with a £200,000 fine for breaching Rule E1.2 relating to intermediaries in 2019. It was alleged that Reading and former CEO Nigel Howe, Sue Hewett and Michael Gilkes – acting on behalf of the Club – as well as Intermediary Glen Tweneboah agreed for the latter to have an interest in relation to a registration right or an economic right, namely to receive payments contingent on the future transfer of a player, which was a breach of The FA’s Intermediary Regulations. Reading FC, Nigel Howe, Sue Hewett and Michael Gilkes denied breaching Intermediary Regulation E5, but admitted a charge of improper conduct.

Where are they now: Reading lift Berks and Bucks Cup for first time in 25 years
|
|
Reading are looking to pick up their second Berks and Bucks Senior Cup under the management of Noel Hunt this evening, with Marlow standing in the Young Royals' way at the SB Stadium this evening (7.45pm kick-off).

Some of that side have gone on to become first-team staples, some still playing elsewhere while some have dropped off the radar completely. Take a look below at where they are now, just two years on.
