    Im sure Ince feels double crossed and he'll fail to see eye to eye with the Efl for coming up with that decision.

    I'd love to see Rotherham, Huddersfield or even Wigan stay up at their expense

    Always been a Mickey Mouse Club, whose fans think they’re a Big Club who should be in the Prem. Feckin To$$ers.

    It's still mad how Wigan have only been docked 3 points for multiple breaches relating to wages and also blatantly lying about the reasons for it.

    Perhaps we'll end up with two teams of solicitors in a 'playoff court' to decide who goes down <laugh>

    This link is toxic and may contain the notorious 'bulls.hit virus' which may stink out your system.

    I'd advise any of the mugs who still believe KLD is a conman, out to make a quick buck, to read this nauseating drivel.

    They're in the ****, because they're ****.

    It's like who is trying harder to be relegated between them and QPR. If I was a Huddersfield fan inparticular at the moment I'd be fancying the chances of the club staying up. If Wigan and Blackpool can find a win to close the gap its going to get very, very interesting. Reading's home form might dig them out of it, I'd be hugely concerned if I was a QPR fan though because they look ****ed.

    Trust me they were begrudgingly included because of geography

    I read up to the bit where he mentions the fact that they have basically been negotiating the points deduction from last season and the suspended points deduction they agreed to this season. If they hadnt agreed then last seasons points deduction would have been greater and seen them relegated. They failed that stipulation, which is hardly a crumb of comfort for whoever finished 3rd off bottom last season. I dont like this idea of clubs negotiating their penalties with the authorities. Just doesnt sit right with me.

    He's primarily blaming the crisis on the fact that the club is under a transfer embargo ...

    ... imposed because the club was being run as fraudulently as it is now <laugh>

    There's some real basket cases running football clubs at the moment.
    The Authorities need a long hard look at themselves, mis management at the highest levels.
    Whilst there are clubs and fans I dislike it's the genuine fans who suffer in the longrun...What a mess.

    I'm not sure I share your sympathies mate.

    Sunderland were being run within the rules and Short was investing money.

    We were useless, relegated and plummeting towards oblivion ...

    ... how upset were the Reading supporters, not at all would be my guess.
