6 + 2 Point Deductions

He’s a Labour MP. While the Early Day Motion may not get far, the ball is rolling. A well worded question by him or another Labour MP at PM Questions about “the Government‘s incompetence and inaction on not progressing an Independent Regulator “ would cause a wee stir!

As long as people in the right places are making noises I’m all for it.

Fan protests and club appeals will only get you so far without the proper backing.

nice idea but EDMs almost always fail quite early in the process. At least it keeps some pressure and publicity on the PL

hopefully this status to turn the screw

wider public will help

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Might I suggest a scenario in which we have a few bad results over the next few weeks (mainly due to a tougher schedule), then upon appeal the PL reduces our points docked by say 50%. We could then sue them for inflicting unnecessary duress upon our players and fans with the original ruling. Assuming results pick up of course

 

[matty1878]

Would have liked have seen Forests. And their 698 signings in one summer.

yup oh it’s all legit….

 

[matty1878]

yup. It was the stadium. No sporting advantage whatsoever

exactly we’re they have got this is from is lunacy

wider public will help

Hopefully mate.
My concern is outside of angry supporters this will all be forgotten about before long, which can’t be allowed to happen.

I've just looked at the MP for Walton's twitter timeline.

Zip from the club's MP. I mean, it's only the biggest institution in his constituency employing thousands of people and many from Walton, no reason for him to be involved really is there?

Please bombard this MP with demands he makes a fist of this for us. Keeping it civil of course.

I dont mind carden. Been on many a picket line in liverpool with friends of mine.
Though i agree he could have picked this up already.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Yeah I seen Ian Byrne tabled a motion in Parliament. Good man.

Humour me a moment would you, erm, have the green party come out in our defence yet? Asking on behalf of a beloved chum...

 

[TommyDavo]

Thanks to Ian Byrne,

Has Carden come out and supported his constituents yet, sorry hadn’t seen @davek post

 

[Blue peter]

There just needs to be as much momentum building at outrage of the sanction by the wider footballing and non footballing community….pundits, MPs etc and then the fans to keep this alive

 

[NathDogg]

Fair play to the two kopite MPs, Rotherham and Byrne, for their statements.

They push the RS agenda/defence a little to much, to obviously, for my liking normally, but their statements just shows that the punishment and entire process is unjust and flawed.

Never seen the man in 6 years. Easy gig

 

[Dixieslaces]

Hes out there doing important work, a multi-billion pound football club is the least of his issues, asking people to pile into him isnt a good look David.

Not sure a pile on is necessary and his work for Palestine is a priority, but he certainly should have time for his constituents and an institution like Everton, even if its just to back up Ian Byrne.

Whilst im no fan of the PL - the thought of the Government who knows nothing about the sport "regulating" it isn't something to be excited about.

The Government is even more corrupt than the PL when you consider the Newcastle takeover.

The gov refused to incl. state-ownership as part of the regulations. Why? Because the Tories want to have authority over the biggest sport in the UK. They don't care about, or what's best for football.... it's all part of their culture war. Never ever trust a Tory gov.

New independent regulator won’t intervene on issue of state ownership

State ownership was described as a ‘matter for the foreign office’ despite a warning from human rights groups that it leaves English football ‘open to the worst type of manipulation’
