If you mean Mount and Tomori, they were long gone before the business plan with wage restrictions of around £12,000/wk Reading did - Rahman and Drinkwater.

They were allowed to blow their embargo into the water because their owner hadn’t upset the efl several years earlier. deano180, derbydaz22, Ram-Alf and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The thing is, this was obvious at the time. This time last year this forum was full of 'how are Reading affording these signings whilst under an embargo?' questions. Reading decided to deliberately flout the restrictions in order to avoid relegation, knowing that the punishment would be only 6 points further down the line, when they hoped to be in a healthier position. It would be interesting to know what our punishment would be if we flouted the business plan. Blondest Goat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the noise going around now. Some chickens coming home to roost for the EFL. They totally failed to stamp this ambulance chasing nonsense out when Wycombe and Boro came after us, this is the logical conclusion. I reckon they want clubs bickering with each other, it stops them from realising that the EFL are the ones they should be going after. Reading didn't decide when points should be deducted, or set the processes, the EFL did. Ram-Alf and TigerTedd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Reading do only get the 6 suspended points deducted, they'd still be 7 points clear of relegation. MarsdenRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I think I would take two 6 point deductions over two seasons rather than a 12 point deduction in the same season. One way or another that is proper cheating Crewton, angieram and Ramzabac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got suspended because they agreed to a 2 year business plan. It seems they have not stuck to the plan. Time will tell. Woodley Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 After Reading, who else is likely to get a points deduction and when? Bristol City have just notified a loss of £26m to go with the previous year's £34m, QPR also posting a similar loss for last year. I find it difficult to believe that these two and others will comply with FFP at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFL:"hand wavey COVID times move along we don't want to go there now that we shafted Derby and Stephen Mr Gibson Steve isn't sending us legal threats anymore" Also EFL: We take FFP very seriously and we are a serious institution. Also EFL: "so them perks we're supposed to be getting, shall we have a meeting about enjoying them more, for the good of the game" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
