27 February 2024 at 17:13 New points deducted for Reading The English football club Reading was sanctioned with two points deducted on Tuesday for being late with tax payments for a long time. Reading, who play in the third tier of English football, were earlier in the season deducted four points for not having enough funds to cover wage costs. On Tuesday, the club informs X that a further two points will disappear. The point haul leaves Reading just three points clear of the relegation zone in League One. The English Football League (EFL) has stated that club owner Dai Yongge has not shown enough will to get the finances of the club on track. They have also encouraged the Chinese to sell the club, which, according to Tuesday’s message from the club, he will be doing. In addition to the point deduction, Dai has received a fine of approximately NOK 133,000. That bill must be paid within 21 days in order not to risk further penalties. (NTB)
