Everton, West Ham and Newcastle leading calls for Premier League's Big Six to be hit with points deductions

[Del-boy]

Farce as we all knew it would be

What a joke. 30 point deduction still means these clubs finish comfortably safe. Should have been immediate expulsion. And where a 20m fine when they were estimated to earn 350m?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Not surprised. Now sort it out Moshiri, clearly the rules don't apply anymore.

Dont know what the FFP situation is this summer but if we dont break it then we have no balls.

It’s 20 mill each from what I can see. Still a slap on the wrists either way

It’s between the 6 of them so about £3.5m each, utter joke and zero punishment in real terms.

 

[MCtoffee]

Wow that really is a joke

 

[Raino85]

To think we got a £500k fine (About 17% of what these have been fined) and a 2 year youth transfer ban (which in honesty, has happered us severely in terms of youth development and future transfer revenue) for offering some kid a new pair of trainers!
These lot attempt to defunct the English football pyramid and get basically the equivalent of 8 weeks of Kevin De Bruyne/David De Gea/Mo Salah's wages

Honestly can't stand football anymore, it winds me up more than I enjoy it now

The most frustrating thing about this to me is the 30 points deduction. Attempting this again should result in expulsion from the Premier League, not a points deduction that would have resulted in none of the six clubs being relegated if it had happened this season.

 

[Blue83]

Not surprised but they say that any fines will be paid by the owners and not come out of club coffers. Is this not against FFP?

The rules are negotiable for the top 6

that 30 point threat just means the next time they won't chicken out so quick.
It should have been a two or four window transfer ban.

Arsenal would have finished the closest, only 3 points above the drop (61 to 31)

Top 7 would have been

Leicester - 66
West Ham - 65
Leeds - 59
Us - 59
City - 56
Villa - 55
Newcastle 45

United would have finished below Wolves, Liverpool below Palace, Southampton and Brighton and Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal all below Burnley

Right, and they’d all swap that inconvenience for a season for the promise of hundreds of millions in extra revenue in the Super League forever more.

There needs to be a permanent ban from the Premier League for any clubs trying this in future.

The most worrying thing about that revised table is that City would have still finished 5th even afer a 30 point deduction.
