My nephew got to meet the players as they were coming in and I did wonder when we didn't see Meite of it was a bit of a bad omen, wonder if he's picked up an injury

It wouldn't be Reading without a mystery injury or two every game.

Honestly the team might be okay, probably a reaction to getting dicked by Boro, just need a lot of work from NGW and Yiadom to support the attack

Can someone give me a brief description of why we're getting a second points deduction in like 18 months? Did we oxf*rd up the leagues plan for us after the first infraction or was it just unobtainable no matter what we did?

Ok, so back to 5 at the back then

........................Lumley
...........Holmes, Dann, Sarr
Yiadom...........McIntyre.........NGW
.............Hendrick.........Ince
....................Carroll, Long

At a guess. Zero width outside wingbacks who'll spend the entire game defending our 18 yard line probably.

Until it's officially announced, I dont think anyone really has a clue.

blythspartan This has Sunderland at home written all over it. I am finishing work at 3 tomorrow and driving down from Chesterfield but why I bother god only knows. I am really pi**ed about the imminent points deduction tbh.

Top man for effort. I’m in Mansfield and I’m off work but after Boro on Saturday I ain’t got it in me to make the trip on a Tuesday to see us put in another woeful performance.
Praying we can put in a better performance and grab a draw really can’t seee us winning.

We can only speculate at this point but possible scenarios are:

There was an issue with our costs / spending sometime between November 21 and July 22 last season
Our forecasts were wrong somehow and we've failed to meet the current business plan
We falsified some records and have been found out

oxf*rd. Well get punished hard meanwhile, City will get away with it with a slap on the wrist.

Are the owners as incompetent as Anton was or are they okay?

Anton spent money he didn’t have
The Chinese are not allowed to spend money they do have

Apologies because im not super familiar with how FFP works but is that because of the income infrastructures the club has doesnt draw enough money to spend more and/or We can only lose a certain amount of money over a 3 year period, or more to it?

It looks as though Ince doesn't rate Mbengue quite as highly as a lot of posters on here.
File in the same section as NGW.
