Quickly Kevin Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Past few seasons points deductions for Championship clubs Owls - 12 ( reduced to 6) Brum - 9 Reading - 6 Wigan - 12 Derby - 21 Grim reading and shows how buggered football is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Joao has been sidelined for nearly the entire 2021/22 campaign so far after starting in Reading’s opening two Championship games. Joao, 28, was a star player for Reading during the 2020/21 season, netting 22 goals and chipping in with seven assists in 40 games across all competitions. However, after he suffered a hip injury in the Royals’ win over Preston North End earlier in the season, he has been out of action since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Football is buggered and I'm not sure the EFLs solution is working tbh... Not sure what it says when so many of these deductions are in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffield_dave Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 English football is heading towards a previously unthinkable level of restructure. Between the ESL (which will be back, by the way) and the unsustainability of the Championship, the entire concept of having a 4 division league structure of 92 clubs in this country is hanging by a thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Lots of similarities with us, including of course the TUF link originally. Same playbook. An agent controlling transfers, huge wages on injury prone players, a play off failure followed by gradually worse and worse seasons , and now at the end when they are out of money they end up with characters like carroll and drinkwater out of desperation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
