    Reading

    Hard not to feel a little sympathy for Reading this evening. They probably didn't deserve relegation over the season, but that's football. Also if Sheffield United were giving their best tonight, then they are going to need more than sympathy next season. A Yorkshire plot I wouldn't be surprised.

    Dave would you take Tom Ince he's probably the player I'd be keen on. I'll be gutted to lose Willock so probably worth nabbing him
    I played sunday league football today.

    Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

    I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

    We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

        Tom Ince will leave Reading.

        A solid championship midfielder

        I doubt we can afford his wages

            WTF?

            They broke spending limits and tried to get promotion by iver spendings and eventually survival in the championship. We had the same issue but cut our cloth withon the rules and survived.

            #### em the cheating #####.

                No.
                We have not breached FFP / P&S rules. Reading have had two sets of points deductions and the second was for not meeting an agreed financial plan. They clearly made the decision to tske the points deduction thinking they'd have enough points to still stay up. #### em!

                    Trying really hard to care about Reading but something is missing.

                    Glad Sir Colin stayed up and with any luck may stick with Huddersfield another year or two. We need characters like him in the game.

                    Reading broke the rules and paid the price. Could have been a number of teams in that last relegation position including us but we all picked up enough apart from Reading to move clear. They drew quite a lot of games in the run in and that included against some top teams but you need wins as well.

                      Oh yes!

                      They cheated by having better players on their books than those they could afford within the rules. It would not have been fair if they got 55 points before the deduction and they stayed in the league. They made a decision to ignore the rules thinking they'd have enough points on the bag. If they stayed up and we went down on that basis it would not be fair and Im glad they're going to suffer as they should.

                        What a crazy finnish it would have been if Reading wasn’t docked six points. With one match left, Reading, Hudds and we would be at 50 points and Rotherham and Cardiff at 49. Having the weakest goal different we would depend on beating Bristol C.

                        Reading has got what they deserve. No sympathy from me. I am happy to see the rules are working as intensed. Talking about QPR, we had a happy escape, getting away with a managable fine and not a point deduction that would have seen us relegated as Reading.
