Reading may arrive in South Wales today just one place above the relegation zone but they are not arriving with manager Veljko Paunovi\u0107 eyeing up a win that could increase the gap between them and the bottom 3.<\/p>\n
Reading were deducted 6 points earlier this month by the EFL who determined the Royals lost \u00a357.8m between 2017 and 2021 – the EFL’s limit for that period is \u00a339m.<\/p>\n
A further six-point deduction is suspended until the end of next season, provided they comply with a business plan which includes player spending.<\/span><\/p>\n That 6 point deduction has currently cost them three places in the current table and that is something they will be looking to reverse when they arrive at the Swansea.com stadium later on today.<\/p>\n A draw and a defeat since that points penalty has done nothing to lift the mood at the Select Car Leasing Stadium but Paunovi\u0107 hopes to turn that around this afternoon.<\/p>\n “As we don\u2019t have a midweek game coming up, we have to see this as a fantastic opportunity to bring back the three points and build a new momentum,” he told the Reading official site.<\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t help us to look at the table \u2013 we have to narrow our focus only on the games and on getting points until we\u2019re in a better position in the table.<\/p>\n \u201cSwansea are a team with a new coach and style this year, and they are building their shape. They haven\u2019t been very consistent, but they are a good team and they have experienced players. Like every team in this league, they are good, but they are also vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reading may arrive in South Wales today just one place above the relegation zone but they are not arriving with manager Veljko Paunovi\u0107 eyeing up a win that could increase the gap between them and the bottom 3.
