6 + 2 Point Deductions

[d0rk]

No clue how they can justify any deduction with the rules other teams have been breaking.

City should be playing in the Sunday League if these are the penalties.

Difference being Everton have plead guilty and other teams haven't (yet)

looking more and more like that was the wrong choice after all

It's give all the leaches out there a chance to have a dig at Everton and put the knife in. Including all the trolls from other clubs. "You cheated".

I see “PL sources” have supposedly disputed Burnham’s letter where he makes the point about changing penalty mechanism in the middle of the process. Now saying the commission asked for their suggestion in August, and also asked the same of Everton, who suggested fine or transfer ban, which is as per the report.

First time they have defended themselves? They will feel they don’t have to defend the 10 points as they didn’t give us the penalty.

More pressure needed. Hopefully them allegedly breaking silence is a sign the criticism is hitting home.

Then the IC is contradicting themselves.
The PL rule book/handbook says that the IC has wide ranging powers in relation to punishments and sanctions in relation to a breach of PSR guidelines.
Why would the IC ask what the PL thought if they had complete autonomy to set the punishment themselves and which they argued vehemently about in their final report.
Andy Burnham is right to point out the supposed “independence” of the commission and the prejudicial process undertaken.

I hope a whistleblower has supplied him with some evidence of PL internal comms and fear of an independent regulator leading to this wholly disproportionate punishment.

Nah, he's a petulant little rat who's just being nice after his side won 3-0.

Like any commission they can ask what the prosecution and defence feel is just punishment before coming to a supposed impartial decision.

He’s won,I’d rather have seen him lose and cryarsing.

Used to hate him but thats sound

 

[Chegsy]

Have a gut feeling they are going to dig their heels in and stand by the 10 points given by the commission. We will be old news in a couple of weeks and they will be hoping things blow over quickly.

Still a horrible little rat

It's bollocks.

When there is a breach of the rules it is the responsibility of the Premier League Board to lay charges against any club that breaches the rules.

In this case, the Premier League has a responsibility to outline what rules have been breached and suggest an appropriate punishment.

That is what they did. The irony is that the IC over ruled the PL and came up with a harsher punishment.

Only 1 team galvanized after this weekend and it isn't Everton. Goes with saying we need a win as soon as possible. The pressure is just going to keep building and building on the players.

 

[maccavennie]

Just got in from the game, did the protests get any coverage at all?

Did the c'''nts get away with the cards being raised

I was in work so missed the start mate but 10 minutes in they showed the protest and didn't try and cover the sound up either.

 

[jonnyboy316]

Going to need a few of the points back
