Kinda disgusting that the staff, the ones who most likely need their money as they earn maybe what a player earns in 3 weeks in a year, are the ones not getting paid in full.

I agree. Any player who's agreed to sign for Reading in the last 3 years who hasn't squirreled away enough money to see them through a couple of months of non-payment should sack his advisers for sleeping on the job. None of this is surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-payment of players gets you a points deduction. Non-payment of everyone else gets you nothing. Paying the staff 50% or whatever the figure is just before Christmas is an absolute scandal. If I were one of the players I'd be looking to put a fund together to help out the staff at Christmas.

Until those that run our game...the EFL 😡 very little will change, Clubs pay advisers to look for loopholes in contracts whether they are successful is down to how good the EFL😡 are at their job, I'll go to my grave despising the EFL😡 and those who fecked us over, And that goes for the rabble that were our Admin 😡 Reading players SHOULD put their hands in their pockets to help out the Staff leading upto Xmas...but I doubt it, Those at the top will survive comfortably, Those at the bottom will struggle😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltRam Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I see Everton have appealed. Apparently they feel a sporting sanction for an accounting breach is unfair. I bet a double+ sized sporting sanction for an accouting breach that actual accountants said wasn't an accounting breach would never happen though. Oh...right.

hintonsboots Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67763259 A few highlights from the article suggest the EFL is going soft. I thought they set a precedent with our treatment ? The EFL recommended he be banned from all football activity for 12 months but an independent disciplinary commission opted against enforcing it. The EFL said it did not feel another sporting sanction against Reading was appropriate in this case as they were taking direct action against the owner.

I can see that putting us into administration triggers an automatic 12 points, but our accounting methodology went to an IDC and they recommended a 100k fine. The EFL didn’t accept their ruling.

I think the difference is, where MM was actively trying to sell the club, the Reading owner has displayed an intransigent attitude towards the EFL and indeed towards the club itself. His last two clubs were liquidated and it looks like he has lost interest in Reading. The EFL don’t want to lose a club with the independent regulator looking over their shoulder.
