Yes I have and I know Reading fans from years ago who will be gutted with what’s going on with their club but it doesn’t mean I have sympathy for fans who celebrated years of success while publicly spending well above their means. Just like I wouldn’t expect other fans to have sympathy for us if we were spending 200% of our income on wages while we go through the leagues.
If we were in their position would I expect sympathy from other fans if we had over spent on years without questioning ourselves? No I wouldn’t.
It still concerns me now with us having a high wage budget compared to our income streams and I’d rather we progress through the leagues at a sustainable rate rather than a s**t or bust model.
We are lucky we have fans that are vocal when they think things aren’t as they should and they get called out early on.
What I also have never seen is our fans mock other teams such as Derby or Pompey when they were on the brink.
I even had sympathy for Wigan until they went and did the exact same thing again.
