The Royals have had a difficult season as a result of the fans’ persistent protests, which want to remove owner Dai Yongge from the organization.
His poor leadership had put the team in serious jeopardy; last season, Reading’s deduction of points led to their Championship relegation.
These problems have persisted, and they have now dropped six points this season for a variety of infractions, the most recent of which occurred in February when they neglected to pay HMRC as agreed upon on time.
Prior to a single ball being kicked this season, the Latics were assessed an eight-point penalty, which was the result of persistently late wage payments under the previous administration.
Since Mike Danson took control, the club has been pleased to see a lot more stability as they aim to improve. Maloney was still dealing with a team that lagged behind all of their competitors, but he was able to move them up the table rather rapidly.
Tony Pulis commends Shaun Maloney and Ruben Selles.
Although few managers would ever have to deal with point deductions in their careers, Selles and Maloney have had to deal with it in spite of their inexperience as head coaches.
The 66-year-old Pulis has seen a lot in his time as a manager. He began his career in the lower levels, where he had to eke out a living, before moving up to the Premier League and its associated wealth.
While Pulis acknowledged the difficulties Selles and Maloney had faced, he emphasized to them the importance of keeping their attention on the game and reminded them that the primary goal of the job is to win three points for the team and the supporters.
“I would advise the managers of those clubs to concentrate on winning games on Saturdays,” Pulis stated. Winning games is what matters most to the supporters, the team, and the community; if you become overly engrossed in things happening behind the scenes, you risk losing focus.
I know it’s difficult when team cuts impact their position, but no matter what cards you’re dealt, you have to find a way to win on Saturday or you won’t be employed. This is true regardless of what goes on upstairs.
Regardless of how they accomplished it, those two boys deserve a ton of praise for the work they have done. Forget about style; management is about figuring out a means to win, whether it’s going long from the goalkeeper or playing out from the back.
“It’s fantastic for those football teams, but will things get better? Really, I have no idea.
