It's pointless getting upset with the EFL when we haven't seen their justifications yet. Let's wait for that before we jump to a mob mentality. I wonder whether PInce was given the go-ahead to say everything he did. Would seem a bit of an odd media strategy to release a statement and then have the m...

RG30 6 point deduction next week from what Ince has said at pre game press conference

Yeah, it was confirmed to me by a source earlier today as well.

Like I said before, I do find it interesting what people read into these statements. In terms of information, it seems to me that the club's response is exactly the same as the fake one I made up a few pages back. All they are doing is acknowledging the information that is already public and stating...

"The club is aware of recent media speculation regarding the EFL and our requirements under P&S rules. We would like to draw attention to the official EFL statement that this process is continuing as per our arrangement and that no other information has been communicated to us. Everyone at ...

It gets depressing seeing how people can people can take exactly the same information and come up with wildly different interpretation, no wonder our politics is in such a mess. When multiple football journalists report the same thing that means that there is something in it. And when their reports ...

We did spend £200m. The problem was that we only had about £80m of revenue during that time.

The EFL statement provides zero information other than restating what we already know - that Reading had an obligation to stick to an EFL business plan. They would have released exactly the same statement regardless of whether they had already decided we were guilty/innocent or whether they were gen...

It's probably like last season we were in jail and this season we were out on parole with an ankle bracelet. It's still possible to commit crimes in the latter without the authorities doing anything wrong.

Came across a reference to this reddit post on Twitter - https://www.reddit.com/r/Championship/comments/11f2qv4/reading_fc_facing_second_points_deduction_in_18/ Given that today is March 1st, the most likely thing that happened is this. 6.2 The Club is also subject to a suspended sanction of 6 poin...

My thoughts: ⋅ I was already confused by the extent of our signings we've made. Sure, all free agents, but anyone with any understanding of football finances knows that the fee can be only a small part of the overall cost. We brought in PL loans and given contracts to the likes of Andy Car...

The only objective way of judging a manager is their success over multiple teams/years. Who of our previous managers since Coppell has the best record on that front? Probably Rodgers. Will say that McDermott gets a bit of a pass from this as he had his own personal issues. Adkins has some success bu...

windermereROYAL Staggered why it wasn`t a red for the pen, last man and no attempt to play the ball, shocking game of football but 3 priceless points.

Maybe because he didn't really have control of the ball at that point.

Brogue 13 points clear of the drop with 13 to play. Safe as houses. Hope ince starts to blood some of the youngsters for the final 3rd of the season.

Not sure he would take the risk with fans like ours. Lose 3 games in a row and they'll be calling for your head.

Maybe losing the 106 record would be like breaking a curse. No longer able to live on past glories.

One more win and we'd have matched the 47 point (before deduction) we got all last season.

Not really been able to watch this one as the usual method has been awful.

From what i've seen it looks very negative.

People do realise right that it doesn't matter how rich a new owner is, they still can't spend more money than what the EFL rules dictate? Our recent issues have absolutely nothing to do with our owners not having enough money. Sometimes it feels that people don't get that. Our owners were happy ban...

There were far fewer foreign players in English football back then in general - especially in the Championship. So, i imagine Reading had a similar number of domestic players to everyone else. I highly doubt that restricting our squad to British players would improve our chances in the league.

One thing that I don't get about the 'Ince out' thing is why do you guys have any faith that the owners would actually bring in someone better? It's not like they have a great track record. Personally i'm taking the bird in the hand over the random Japanese 2nd division manager that they are likely ...
