Initial 10, then reduced to 6 + 2 Point Deductions

Hang on, story on Sky says we admitted to it, what happened to being confident we hadn’t broke any rules

Two points behind a team we were 8 points better than over 12 games. Barring mental collapse from the players we’ll be fine.

Excellently put.

Logic says we’re fine.

Shocking. Do we have a leg to stand on in a legal sense? Or do we just hire someone out of clown college? Do they realise that relegation kills us and denies Euro 2028 a top whack stadium? Sure the government would really like that.

Take this all the way to the supreme court.

Mosh has put his foot in it.

Statement that he risked the limit to improve the midfield.

Nice

Chelsea will also get points deducted. Man City with 115 (or whatever amount) of breaches will get off Scot-free, or a £2.50 fine.

Tells you how bent the game is.

It will galvanise the fans and the players too, as others have said siege mentality.

Massive middle finger to the PL come the end of the season.

Two points behind a team that already beat us at Goodison.

10 points for £19mill over the limit??

Basically near enough what we'd have got for Sigurdsson if there hadn't been that thing going on.

Back in a relegation battle ffs

If you read the report, it smacks of a decision made well in advance. The commission cites aggravating factors like Everton's accountant stating under cross-examination that part of his job is to find ways to interpret PL rules in his client's favor, goes all holier than thou about the Prem's 'utmost good faith' clause, and acts like other clubs (eg: Chelsea, City) do not engage in this behavior.

The commission completely blows off the force majeure argument with respect to the invasion of Ukraine, and armed conflict is generally considered to apply in such cases. Everton should have managed this risk how? That's like saying Abramovich should have sold Chelsea in 2021 to manage that risk. Insanity.

Plea bargain?

 

[Milkman]

Don't worry everyone, we can expect others to be punished accordingly.

 

[Azza]

Nev on 5Live saying we should see this as a positive! lol lol lol

Based on the socials... majority of football fans aren't letting City off the hook rather than buzz off our misfortune
