Reading to be deducted six points - CONFIRMED

Re: Reading to be deducted six points

Will put them below us.
Not a great way to possibly avoid relegation but needs must.

It's fine by me. They're getting points deducted because they broke the rules. I have no problem with that.

Re: Reading to be deducted six points

I have no time for Ince but to describe Reading as a 'horrible club' seems a bit harsh.

It would be nice if we could, just for once, be successful (whether that's staying up or getting promoted) because we have a better team than others, with, you know, better, more skillful and talented footballers. It sometimes feels Cardiff City rely on set pieces and points deductions.

We stayed up last season without the help of a points deduction? When did a deduction help us to promotion?

Exactly.

The self righteous CCMB does my head in at times.

Re: Reading to be deducted six points

The merits/justification of the points deduction wasn't my point. It was leaving a decision on the deduction until 7 or fewer games to go. A manager in Ince's position would play games differently with 6 points deducted.

How many games left should they have then?

They're looking to deduct Everton points this season, although it probably won't happen this season, but if it did it would leave it extremely late for them...

Re: Reading to be deducted six points

I wonder how many other club’s fans would shed a tear if we were kicked out of the league completely? There’d be f*cking street parties!!!!

Refs would get bored quick, they'd have to find another team to give decisions against...

Surely there should be a 'cut-off' time for points deductions - I'd say 10 games minimum. Either they've broken the rules or they haven't. Especially in a relegation battle [as is the case with most clubs incurring points deductions], it affects all those other clubs at the bottom of the league. A six point deduction at the start is different to one with 5 or 6 games left.

There's rules for bloody everything now.

Behave or face the consequences.

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.

Starting to lose hope that it’ll happen. Swear it’s been “any day now” for the last month…

Ince said 'in the next 24/48 hours' last Thursday.

It's been imminent for weeks. Reading have been expecting it for weeks. Very strange from the EFL.

Completely unacceptable from the EFL. Reach a decision and announce it. Simple
