    I didn’t realise that Paul Ince was their manager until I read that article. How does he get away with it?

    I think it's a bit of a non story this.

    If I've read it right, all it's saying is, the EFL put financial targets in place at the start of the season that Reading have to adhere to, and they're currently checking whether they have or not. It says it's alleged they haven't, but not who is alleging it.

    If they haven't, they'll be docked 12 points. They didn't pay a fee for anyone in the summer, and had a whole host of inexpensive trialists who they were looking at (including Victor Adeboyejo), so I'd be surprised if they are found to be in breach of the targets set for them.

    They are a club I have complete apathy for though, and I don't really know why.

    Not just randomly checking as I read it... but investigating allegations that they haven't conformed.

    Only good thing about Reading is WHEN WE BEAT THEM 3-1 IN 1996 and 50 zillion Reds fans went down there to see it.
    I think it was the same day that Wolves screwed up their chance of pipping us to promotion.
    Other than that .... couldn't care less.

    Wigan, Birmingham and Reading would be dream relegation fodder. I might even gain some confidence that finances are being looked at carefully after all.

    Typical of the YP, making it a Yorkshire story by naming Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United in the headline.

    I might be jumping in without knowing the facts but does it not refer to 2 years ago ?

    we were there that day, walking through a park to get to the car, someone with a radio shouted that wolves had ****** it up, loud cheers broke out, bliss. That was before a rich man started to bankroll Reading, stadium was just a glorified non League ground.

    Reading is right up there with the basket case clubs in the Championship. Writing that we had lost £7m (£4m excl the debt of purchase) seemed pretty horrendous but this is a drop in the ocean compared to the largesse in Berkshire.

    Accounts for 2022 not yet filed but a summary of the prior four years reads:

    2017/18 loss £21m
    2018/19 loss £30.1m
    2019/20 loss £42.0m
    2020/21 loss £35.7m

    In just four years they have accumulated losses of over £125m or put another way £620k a week for a four year period. Their last wage cost % to turnover was 234%.

    Football fair play?

    Peterborough considering legal action to the tune of £10m, the alledged sale of every half decent striker, to them :D.
    They got relegated last season, 4 points behind Reading, so they'd have stayed up if the 6 point deduction had been applied last season.

    Don't know what's more pleasurable, Reading's potential comeuppance, or the fact that Peterborough got screwed over too :D.

    I would post the link, but I'll spare you, as it was the Daily Heil.

    Pretty sure that Wolves were away at QPR that day. Definitely in London. Remember bumping into some of their fans in the services on the M40 on the way home. We were obviously very polite.
