Points Deduction Incoming!

[Notts Royal]

So the big question is…when’s the demonstration against the Dais? Absolutely disgraceful handling of the club from top to bottom.

Lots of anger against the EFL on Twitter, but we’ve really oxf*rd up & deserve punishment here

You don’t bite the hand that feeds you, do you?

Great idea, if they pull the plug the shit we are in now would be a minor hiccup.

Pointless. Given their complete anonymity since they've taken over ownership of the club. Doubt they'll care either. Was all about personal ego and a desire to be one up on their Chinese billionaire chums who also own clubs. On Saturday we face Birmingham who also have camera shy owners. No longer in the same league as the oil rich Arabs.

You want the most apathetic support in world football to rise up against the owners of the club? Good luck.

Well that’s the problem isn’t it. Other clubs would be much quicker to make their feelings known.

Ours would prefer to blame the EFL for applying the rules. You couldn’t make it up

[Royal_jimmy]

If this is true then Derby have to be docked another 9 points minimum too as they've not been punished for breaking the rules

STOP posting rubbish. You might be apathetic, but don't tar us all with the same brush.

And as for your stupid comment...have you ever been to Swindon, or Exeter, or MK Dons or Wimbledon or Shrewsbury or Mansfield etc.
Thought not

It will be a relief to finally know. Based on the last few games we look doomed with or without a points deduction.

Even if by some miracle we stay up we’ll be in an even worse position squad wise at the start of next season. Unless a points deduction wipes the slate clean?

1. It won’t. Reading will still be embargoed next season as the roll over of seasons continues.

2. In fact things could be worse next season as I believe the ground and hogwood sales are taken out of the computations? Not sure though whether that might mean another points deduction as the FL have supposedly been working with the club and can see where the accounts will be under these rules.

3. The positive notes I can think of are that a) 2023 should put Reading in the clear finally and hopefully with management on top of the “resourcing” game and b) just maybe accepting a 9 point deduction without argument may allow a little more flexibility in January from the FL (well you can hope).

2023 will finally see Liam Moore and his obscene salary off the accounts, that can only be a good thing.

Once again I can only extend my compliments to you on our extensive and excellent use of the English language. So the fact that I do not agree with you means that I am a "thicko". Not too sure how you draw to that conclusion, but clearly we can't all reach the levels of intelligence that you clearly are at. My apologies sir, I can only congratulate you (again) on your witty and structured comments and I of course apologise unreservedly for believing that I am allowed to have a difference of opinion from you. Suggest we draw a line under this witty banter and allow the good folks of Hobnob to discuss the subject for the purpose of which the thread was created.
Please do not reply to this.

Courtney Friday is reporting it’s a full 9 points deduction with the potential for an extra 3 if things go tits up enough.

What does this mean. Why would a further three be deducted on top?

He didn’t say. I can only think it’s either they’ve agreed a business plan to follow that we must stick to or if it happens again we’ll get deducted the points.

Hear hear, the man is a mercenary leach on the club

You forgot to mention he is one of a very few members of the squad who is usually fit to play.

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Can we just get these bl00dy points deducted so we know where we stand?

True and he only accepted what he was offered as we all would.

Which is a shame, because he's much shitter than the unfit ones

Bollox. You think the club just offered him the wage without being told that's what it takes from his agent?

And for the record, no I wouldn't say yes to being offered twice the wage of colleagues doing the same job who are better than me.

[NathStPaul]

I want Liam Moore gone as much as anyone but you sound unhinged, Ian.
