Reading have been deducted six points with immediate effect over a historical breach of the EFL’s profitability and sustainability limits. It leaves the club, who have taken two points from their past six matches, one point above the relegation zone.
The sanction relates to Reading’s failure to meet an agreed budget after a breach of the financial rules in 2021. The initial breach carried a six-point penalty with a further six points suspended until this season. The club said they faced “a huge fight” to stay up.
