There isn’t a conspiracy, just a number of mistakes that have been costly. Far too many, but this is a general thing this year not just Derby 

lots of variables, why don't we ask steve Gibson for this thoughts, he has a way of understanding variables and coming up with the exact answer

Rubberneckers and carpet baggers with their doom and gloom messages, we will survive and we will get stronger 

I don’t get the negativity with the Bournemouth fan’s they probably have the best squad in the league and are up their in the promotion battle. They seem worried about playing us, sure we will battle to the end but we are not Fulham. the Peterborough result seems to have got to them.
keep it tight and if they have no goal or few shots on targets by half time I think they will be booed off. If we score first I would not like to be Parker or their players 
fancy a draw here but anything is possible.

Just listen to WR, rather than read someone’s view of his comments.
i’m a little happier now.
so no PB yet (we all knew that)
Hope to say a PB in next 5 days (unfortunately we have heard that before)
Because of the time taken getting the PB over the line to be the owner will probably take us past this current season. (Unfortunately it will but not to next season but to the end of this)

As it is a "community asset" it could be turned into One big allotment.

Very good point, although it is looking more and more a good place to grow my veg

I completed it. At the end they asked if they had missed any questions......well I didn't miss that opportunity  

I smell a sorry attention seeker........

I would add Pearce in this and potentially Rush not just Mel. I agree with the rest.
The 151% is interesting, I think Reading are something like 240%. I would imagine the vast majority are well over the 100%.
Other clubs supporters look at wages and debt as a reason we went into administration but that is incorrect, we are there because the owner (Mel) stopped funding. Other clubs, Reading, Middlesbrough, Stoke et al have bigger debts but have owners that own the debt themselves and continue to fund their clubs. 
Mel (for what ever reason) took outside loans and then stopped funding the day to day expenses. Owning a football club is a very rich mans sport. 
I would like to see a new approach to sustainability and a new regulator to do it.
things that need to be improved are:
- Parachute payments (they should be for high residual wages not to give a club a clear advantage)
- FFP, clear penalties that are not reduced on the whim of the EFL. Also better business plans where clubs keep with FFP limits and a better way of implementing points (where possible they should be given in the year of the infringement).Everybody has a go at Derby for delaying accounts but Reading delayed theirs. 
- A clear structure for dealing with Administration 
- A clear and transparent method of implementing embargo's  
- Quicker tribunals and punishments
- A better way of dealing with potential acts of god. The Covid rules benefited a number of clubs and not others such as those promoted.
 

Personally I disagree with the parachute payment system. Clubs should budget accordingly and be run with income and projected income in mind.
Players and agents for too long have dictated and all players should have relegation clauses and a reduction in wages and bonuses etc as part of their contracts.
Its ridiculous to expect a club to pay them the same in a lower division. At the end of the day it's the players who put them there!

superb reply 

I think there are a few things being muted about Reading.
- that they are not adhering to their business plan. Not sure how people would know that and just because they signed Carroll, Drinkwater etc doesn't mean went outside it.
- their accounts for 20/21 show a large overspend with large wage bill (not part of FFP calculation or penalty), so the question is are they cutting their cloth. Who knows as it took us years to reduce our wage bill and off load the big earners.
- their business plan allows them to spend over the FFP limits. If so, the EFL need a smack, any FFP plan should ensure adherence to FFP limits. If I remember rightly Readings wage bill is about 240% of their income.
if Reading or us for that matter have a business plan that allows us to break FFP and we have received a suspended penalty then Barnsley have a point. 
 
so If Reading stay up expect Peterborough, Barnsley and Derby to get the number for their lawyers out.

Ooops sorry misread the thread title

We can look forward to four different fixture lists for the championship and league 1 then.
