6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Tony101]

Out of interest, what should have the punishment been for us admitting our guilt due to our incompetent owners?

Give Micheal Keane to the premier league to make the tea and coffees he’s worth 19.5m. Really tho it should have been a fine for the owner. Not a sporting sanction.

I actually though that the stadium naming rights is an easy one to prove, IF you have details.of conversations taking place.

It will be difficult now to shake the name of BMD for the stadium, the club are now trying to do it by calling it the fourth grace, or Everton stadium, but if a business wanted to opportunity to have its name forever associated with a new stadium, what batter to way to call the construction phase by that name. If a company what's that, they'd need to pay for it.

Yes….it’s about having proper governance - we seemed to be having regular chats about things that aren’t properly documented yet we tried to rely on these events as mitigating evidence

Think Neville has a greater interest of the game, Carragher only has interest in LFC and wants City punished.

Nah, both of them are inconsistent and just want to out do each other by playing to the grandstand.

Let's have the context to that: Everton's ability to get interest paid on stadium loans was, half way through this assessment period, changed from not included in FFP to being included in FFP. That was down to the PL. If Everton got creative on the stadium sponsorship then it was to offset the rug being pulled from under them regarding the stadium and FFP dealings. And in any case, bringing forward that sponsorship deal: how could the PL commission determine that wasn't the case other than by having a completely prejudicial view of Everton's intentions in that respect.

Bottom line here: don't be doing our enemies dirty work for them. Put your thinking cap on and look at every dimension to this in the round.

No one who makes a decision on this is scrambling for arguments against us by reading this forum . My thinking cap was on….you may think otherwise. I think we can all agree that the points deduction was unnecessarily severe.

Fair play to Neville, Carragher and Keane to an extent.

They are effectively calling the PL corrupt, unmanageable. Im sure their employers won't like their main product being talked about in such a way

 

[davek]

Have to disagree Dave, Carragher in his Facebook comment was very supportive.

That's his position 'officially', but you can see how he was easily led into an argument about Everton's guilt on the sky podcast.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

I think scrutiny should be applied to their owner.

Really is amazing what he's managed to get away with and still own a Premier League club.

Keane's first remarks on it was to just accept the 10 point punishment and get on with it

Neville wins easy.

To a degree.

However, they know they have a role to play: the overwhelming majority of fans in the PL don't trust the Pl and someone has to represent that view. But they'll talk about reform rather than dismantling it and replacing it. The only solution.

 

[DanEFC92]

"Just playing devil's advocate" why though
Don't have to defend the premier league at every opportunity unless you're on the payroll

 

[davek]

Neville wins easy.

I'd star taking Neville seriously if he ever came out and said: "We have to replace the PL with a new organisation. The present one is not fit for purpose. Everything fades away and with all its issues now has come the time for the PL to leave the stage."

He won't though; he implicitly defends it.

 

[DanEFC92]

Point about selling Digne, then signing a replacement. Suggesting we just play youth players instead.
So you just sell, sell, sell to comply. Don't replace them. Play youth players and left with a shell of a squad that would certainly go down.

Wants to sue his barber.

Going for that Phil Foden cut
