Their claim has no more merit than Wycombe or Boro against us, but the EFL are reaping what they sow here. Either they make Reading and Barnsley figure something out and the cycle continues, or they dismiss it and make it clear that it's one rule for Derby and another for everyone else. I'd say they have a slightly better claim than Wycombe. Wycombe's entire claim against us was based on us not being punished in that season for stuff we did in a different season. At least Barnsley are querying something that's happening in the relevant season. And if Reading were to overspend again, after adding the likes of Tom Ince to their squad despite being under an enforced business plan, then you can see why they are asking the question. Don't get me wrong, the whole thing is stupid, but this is the world we live in now thanks to the EFL.

They can change/clarify the rules to say that EFL disciplinary/FFP matters are off limits for clubs opening disputes against each other. The league/IDC/LAP's decisions are final.

Wait till all the Covid finances come out. Teams are going to be at each other’s throats when they realise the utter disparity between clubs!

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Barnsley might have messed this up mind you, did they threaten to sue the EFL directly if nothing is done? That's how you get the EFL to do your bidding for you. Sparkle, Mucker1884, r_wilcockson and 9 others 1 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 1 hour ago, Tamworthram said: The article says a further points deduction would be applied next season if Reading fail to comply with the agreed business plan but the Barnsley chairman is saying "Barnsley are at a competitive disadvantage NOW". Does that mean Barnsley know the details of the agreed plan and also know that Reading are failing to comply? If they don't know then there is no case to answer at the moment but there could well be a Wycombe scenario (although they'd have a more valid case given the offence actually happened this season) next season now the EFL have allowed the can of worms to be opened. If it is true Reading are not complying then I'm not sure why the additional points deduction shouldn't be applied immediately. Well there are so many leaks from the EFL Barnsley may well be correct Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) RE: Barnsley, it must’ve been blindingly obvious to anybody (other than the EFL) that by not telling Boro and Wycombe to ‘do one’ they we’re going to open a floodgate of similar claims. Having said that, Barnsley don’t really have a legitimate claim. Could be quite funny though if it gets dragged out like the Boro issue did.
