Breaking News: I Don’t Want to Play for Reading FC Anymore Says Disgruntled Shay Spencer as Club Terminates His Contract …
In a dramatic turn of events, Reading FC has officially parted ways with midfielder Shay Spencer following a public outburst from the player and a swift response from the club’s hierarchy. The club released an official statement this afternoon confirming that Spencer’s contract has been terminated with immediate effect due to his conduct, which they described as “deeply disrespectful to both the club and its supporters.”
Spencer, once considered one of the promising talents in the squad, shocked fans earlier today with a blunt and emotional declaration: “I don’t want to play for Reading FC anymore.” Sources close to the player claim he had grown increasingly frustrated with his role under manager Rubén Sellés and felt unsupported by the club’s leadership. His comments reportedly blindsided both teammates and club officials, prompting urgent internal discussions.
According to the statement issued by Reading FC, the decision to terminate Spencer’s contract was made “in conjunction with the board and first-team manager Rubén Sellés” and came after the player “breached the club’s standards of professionalism and respect.” The club also emphasized that they expect all players to uphold the values and commitment expected when wearing the Reading badge, adding, “No individual is bigger than the club.”
Eyewitnesses at the club’s training ground reported heightened tensions earlier in the day, with Spencer allegedly refusing to train and clashing with members of the coaching staff. While Reading FC has not confirmed the details of the incident, multiple reports suggest that the final straw was a verbal confrontation in front of teammates, which led to the swift disciplinary action.
Manager Rubén Sellés addressed the media briefly following the announcement, stating, “Every player has a responsibility—to their teammates, to the fans, and to the club. When that trust is broken, we must act in the best interest of the team. It is unfortunate, but necessary.”
The news has left fans divided. While some support the club’s hardline stance on discipline, others express concern about the growing tension behind the scenes, particularly given Reading’s ongoing challenges in the league this season. Spencer’s exit is likely to spark further scrutiny over the club’s management and its ability to retain top talent.
Shay Spencer has yet to release a personal statement following his dismissal. However, insiders suggest he may seek a move abroad or to another English club in the upcoming transfer window. Whether this high-profile split marks the beginning of further instability at Reading or serves as a turning point remains to be seen.
For now, Reading FC faces the difficult task of regrouping and moving forward without a player who, despite his recent behavior, was once seen as a future cornerstone of the club.
