Foreveram Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Spare a thought for those fans that travelled all the way down to Luton with the hope of getting automatic promotion. Leeds Ram and Premier ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Finally, Reading have had their comeuppence for their cheating from last season. I would imagine that this year's figures won't be any better and they will get another punishment next season in league 1.

Comrade 86 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Fair play to old Colin, he's only gone and saved another club. Honestly, I think he's as mad as a cat in a box, but he does have a knack for solving problems other managers can't. Shocked and saddened to see a 'big club' like Reading heading into L1...

G STAR RAM Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Is that 3 seasons running now that a team has been relegated based upon points deductions rather than on field results? Not defending Reading but at the same time every season there are also the promoted teams breaking the same rules and getting away scot free, well other than being unable to sign any new players outside of the transfer window 😂 EFL really need to get a grip. Fans want to see league positions decided on football pitches, not in boardrooms. Ilkestonian, Day, angieram and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans want to see league positions decided on football pitches, not in boardrooms. It just highlights the failings of the EFL that two of the teams relegated from the Championship have had points deducted - if the governance was more proactive/effective, they’d be preventing teams getting into a position where they need to dish out points penalties….

Make it end of May, if you're promoted but breach your position for the season is null and void, another club goes up. Shouldn't take long to process 3 clubs accounts. Be less clubs taking that financial risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Reading bent the rules to the maximum last season in order to stay up. They fully deserve to be relegated this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Screw Reading!!! Been living well beyond their means for 3/4 seasons now, even worse than we did. Hopefully they'll be another deduction incoming for this season too. Will gladly see them drop like a stone to the National League ala Luton. One of the blandest clubs in the world...

Ram-Alf Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 There's some clubs in England I do not like, Reading are one of them, I guess it's their fans, Full house when riding high, Half empty when the trap door is looming...now where is there a Propper football club where the fans have stayed loyal, Hit 30k plus and and play in the 3rd tier of English football?. There's those that think they're fans, And there's those that know they're fans TigerTedd, Carnero and angieram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Champo this season, Burnley have gone straight back up and in the play off positions Luton, Millwall & Coventry don’t have them. Middlesbrough had a boost from the Mel Morris money but I doubt it was the £45m they were claiming. it’s only really Sheff Utd who are benefiting, getting them for a second year in the Championship edit: forgot Coventry in the playoffs and Sunderland just outside them too Edited May 5, 2023 by littleover ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although 8 of teams currently playing in the prem have done it without parachutes, so maybe it is overstated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the likes of Norwich still have a couple of seasons of parachute payments to kick in. It took villa until the third attempt, and a whole lot of over spending.

Championship is pretty low quality this year. Lots of big names that are basically championship through and through now have either been promoted or relegated.

Its kind of ridiculous they get 3 seasons of unfair advantage I do agree. I think the whole system is a load of rubbish. I wouldnt mind so much if other clubs were allowed to spend as much (as long as they dont financially cripple the club), but FFP stops that and the non parachute teams dont even have the same allowable losses on top of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
