nunthorpered 1,922 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 We were skirting the realms of it so don't gloat just yet. I think we are ok but there was concern before the window opened this season. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 So Reading could actually be 8 points below us! Or 5, if it's applied after Saturday 😁. Link to post Share on other sites

They get to appeal it just like Derby have, I doubt points will be deducted any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites

I think we are ok but there was concern before the window opened this season. Was there? Seems strange for us to be looking at spending over £10m (Muniz + Payero) just in fees if we were anywhere near it. Link to post Share on other sites

He'd have egg all over his face and look like a right ***. Still if we broke the rules, we'd deserve the punishment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That is why the EFL are trying to reach agreement with Reading. Then there will be no appeal. Link to post Share on other sites

Due to EFL rules, once they go into administration they can't be bought for 28 days (in order to allow Supporter groups to make a bid) and for every month they fail to pay their players, they get a 3 point deduction, too. Not owning their stadium or training ground is something that is seriously going to bite them in the *** and to me, it's just pure karma. No collateral, mmm that’s an issue. Do we own ours?
