There's also a section there where the PL demanded a meeting with Everton and told them to bring their laptops and any work electronic device to be able to answer all questions asked of them, Everton rightly didn't bother doing that and the PL then talks about being frustrated that they had to...

A successful appeal will still end up with a 1 point deduction most likely given the report states Everton suggested that should be the maximum penalty if their argument for none wasn't successful.

Dyche isn't providing us any results to keep his job (a constant stream of draws mixed in with losses isn't good enough), but the whole club needs a reset. None of these players are good enough, even our better ones are only seen that way because the rest are so bad. We have a team of mostly...

I think it was pretty unrealistic to expect all the points back sadly, the club have admitted to breaching the rules and as much as they've put forward mitigating factors it doesn't actually sound like they were expecting to have the points deduction removed completely either, they made some...

That response will be used to bring in independent regulators, refusing to be fully transparent about the whole process on the grounds of being a private business means they have openly admitted why the current structure doesn't work.

You have to take Young off here, he'll be carded the second he puts another challenge in.

One of things not mentioned enough is that it's the fans who have been trying to get the board out of the club for a long time, the punishment doesn't really fit when the PL have done nothing but watch as the supporters knew things were being run badly and were fighting against it - the excuse...

To be fair, I don't think some people realise how expensive it can be getting professional looking banners done, especially ones on the larger scale (as with everything, cost over the last few years have gone crazy). £30k+ is a lot of money, you'll still get a good chunk of banners for that but...

Salary caps may be unlawful to the league rules at the moment but they're certainly not outside of that. If a company has a budget to work to then they cannot spend anymore than is budgeted, it would simply require all clubs to agree which won't happen (this is where a government regulator could...

The alternative is a cap on spending (transfers and wage cap) that isn't related to revenue/profits (everyone starts with a pre-agreed amount at the start of a season). None of those clubs who bring in the most revenue through their larger fanbase will ever agree to that - they want things to...

I think we'll get out of it, but the idea that it's a given is a dangerous one, I'm sure Dyche is drumming it into them not to get complacent, it'll be a big task getting safe after such a big points deduction and those at the bottom will be using this narrative that they're rubbish and already...

They've shown that City are taking the correct approach for all clubs in the future, deny everything and just refuse to work with them, let them spend a fortune in resources finding proof - the Premier League are not friends trying to help, no-one should treat them as such. Good luck to them if...

I don't blame Young at all for the goal, the situation of keeping tired players on the pitch just results in the other team being able to press easier and force themselves into better positions to score from. They all defended as good as you'd expect and there's no blame on the players for a...

I can understand Dyche being wary of changing things when they've defended so well but the players have been struggling most of the half, it just invites mistakes and injuries by not making changes.

Comfortable for Luton really, after they scored Dyche was out-managed. They didn't even need to threaten in the second half, they just held us back with ease. Players can be blamed for poor finishing, but tactically there was no other plan other than repeat what wasn't working with different...

Will never understand tactics around pushing the ball out wide to cross when they're either terrible at crossing, or no-one is ever near the cross when it comes in. Surely there should be some alternative tactics of driving through the middle to mix things up (and not just aimlessly hitting it...

This is why you should always be worried when you start feeling a bit of positivity, this Everton team will always find a way to destroy any of that.

5 for me, needed more players in but the club clearly don't have the money to do that. The ongoings are good, most of the current set of players aren't good enough and it's hard to see many that would be disappointed with the vast majority of them being shipped off elsewhere at some point, a...

We go manager after manager who can't seem to remove this terrible mentality of slowing play down constantly, it's like the players are scared to make any kind of quick attacking plays and the default is pass the ball around in our own half and then back to Pickford - that isn't exactly ideal...

It's not his fault he's getting picked despite not being good enough (one of many), he's clearly trying when on the pitch. The abuse just gives the board the opportunity to jump at the chance of blaming the fans for something and deflects away from their problems of not bringing in the kind of...
