And if they waited until next season and we get relegated this year with Reading 5 points ahead of us…. You’d take that on the chin would you?
This has been hanging over Reading for months. If Ince turns around and says “well for the last few games we’ve given a half hearted effort because we didn’t realise we could be deducted points” that’s on them.

Feel for their fans, but might keep us up
I honestly feel for their fans. I hate when teams get deducted points, deserved or not.
6 points isn't too bad though, not like the 15 or so some teams have had!
Excellent news. And with such great weather today too. I will enjoy a stroll in the sun with a smile on my face.
looking like it's 1 from us, Reading, Huddersfield, qpr and Rotherham to join Wigan and Blackpool in league one.
the Blackpool and Rotherham games will be massive for us

Wigan and Blackpool down, with Huddersfield, Reading or QPR.
If we win Friday we'll be safe, lose and I will be slightly worried, but we still have plenty of points available.

Statement from Mark Bowen on the Reading club site:
https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/202...r-to-our-fans/
He expects the 6 point deduction to be 'the last of our medicine' and for the transfer embargo to be lifted in the summer.
Reading that made me wish that there was someone in our club who would communicate with the fans that way. It gave a full backstory, an explanation, a vision for the future and more. We are teetering on the brink of relegation, with a transfer embargo, a seemingly endless list of future litigation, massive annual financial losses, and a blocked pathway from the academy to the first team.
The positives of a new academy complex, new training ground plans and a successful women's team do not tip the scales.
We need a Cardiff City Mark Bowen (Tan, Dalman, Choo, a Director of Football, a fan director on the Board?) to speak to us!
The club has to care about the fans to do that.
Our club just tells a hand picked few very little and lets it trickle down to the fans. They also fail to acknowledge their failings and give the air that all of the bad things have happened to them. I'd prefer a collective from this message board on the board of the club and fully believe they would have a better plan and run the club in a better way than the current board that we have.
Season ticket time soon though. Probably the pinnacle of communication and marketing seen during the calendar year at City. Show us your money.
