6 + 2 Point Deductions

Well said. There is a lot of naivety from posters thinking we will just breeze by the 3 promoted clubs. This could have a huge psychological impact on the players as well as our tiny little squad. Sadly we have to bin off the league cup. Play the kids in that
As long as their wage slips keep on coming the players won’t give a flying one.

The fans will carry the club at home and away. It’s all about us. The players will respond to us not the media speculation. As soon as that whistle blows against Man U - then you’ll see
 

We haven't. . "The Premier League has made it clear that it makes no allegation of dishonesty. We consider, therefore, that Everton did not consciously intend to circumvent the Rules...t is not a case of a deliberate breach."

We haven't misrepresented anything. The league have not accepted what we've put as losses as part of P&R. No matter how outlandish those figures are....there's no 'dishonesty'

As for Derby... 9 points...in addition to the 12 for entering administration. As mentioned...these points on the back of more issues and were more than 1 crime.
From the judgement.

Everton acknowledged in the course of the
hearing that the PSR calculation included claims that were novel, some of
which were persisted with in Everton’s Answer but were subsequently
abandoned shortly before the hearing. We have already found Everton’s
conduct not to be in compliance with the obligation of utmost good faith
imposed by Rule B15.

and again.

The obligation to act in utmost good faith is high. As we have observed
above, at the initial stages of consideration of a PSR submission the Premier
League will be dependent on the accuracy of the information supplied by the
submitting club. In this case the information supplied by Everton was
materially inaccurate.

and again.

Further, Everton was
less than frank in its dealings with the Premier League over the stadium
interest issue.


The clowns in charge tried to blag it, inevitably got caught and the club and fans are paying the price of Moshir's mismanagement. The unbelievable bit is that whilst the auditors have walked away, DBB and Sharp are unwilling to give evidence probably after taking legal advice and Moshiri is desperately trying to sell up. We still have fans ignoring the evidence and looking to blame the Premier League and the commission. Lets face it Moshiri and the board are guilty of breathtaking mismanagement.


Again from the findings.


137. It helps to stand back from all the detail that has been put before us and to see
the overall picture. Everton’s PSR difficulties are not attributable to the costs
of the stadium development. Those costs were excluded from the PSR
calculation in respect of the period before planning permission was granted
by reason of the 13 August 2021 agreement, and thereafter by the ability to
capitalise relevant costs by the application of FRS 102. The cause of
Everton’s PSR difficulties was the fact that it overspent (largely on its
purchase of new players and its inability to sell other players), and because it
finished lower in the league than it had projected in FY 2022 (16th against the
projected 6th – causing a loss of expected income of c.£21 million).


We breached P&S because the clowns based our financial projections on finishing 6th. If we had budgeted for finishing 16th we would have passed P&S.

It could just as well have the opposite effect and galvanise them. Who knows
 
The only worry

I wouldn't have a clue to be honest, the minutiae of football finance is way too dull for me to get even a layman's grasp on the technical details. I did read yesterday that by the prems own recommended scale, which was oddly rejected we would have recieved 10 points deduction anyway, so you would have thought 10 is the max. That they wanted it rushed through for last season exposes their objective a bit.
Wonder why they don't want to rush through the Man City case? I mean that has been going on for over a decade
 

It seems to me there is no specific rule on punishment for breaches of profit and sustainability.
Why is that? In most areas of the 'rules' it should be clear what the maximum and minimum sanctions are.
This should also reflect the likely %age for reduction based on co-operation and future compliance.
Otherwise what is the point and incentive for co-operation?
In the absence of any specific punishment / scale it looks thike this commission has plucked a figure from mid air.

And why has this penalty been applied with immediate effect? We have appealed. Judgement should be pending.

And where's the bloody asterisk to shame the corrupt PL when the table is viewed?
