Initial 10, then reduced to 6 + 2 Point Deductions

I despise Masters and the PL with every fibre of my being.
How they used our club for their own agenda.
Now this, after stating financial penalties were not suitable.

 

[Walken]

What was the major complaint when we got done?

That we would be used as an eample and the so called big si would never get punished for similar and in some cases repeated offences. Don't forget the financial bores on here who kept trolling their own fan base and cheering on the PL

Well there’s the verdict on the City charges then.

Totally unsurprising news

A couple of quid fine and a "suspended" transfer ban?

That'll teach 'em!

Which is exactly why Everton should not abide by any such rules in the summer.

We need to come out and ask questions on this.

Still grates on me how we were so weak with our statements last time, we even thanked the PL in one.

The latest reason this sport is an utter farce these days

 

[MikeH72]

That isn’t related to PSR in any way if people wanted to bother opening the article up. Not that I expect them to get any sort of significant PSR punishment either, like.

yeah, forests owner is nuts but atleast he came out with fire and brimstone.
We meekly apologized and then got hit again and apologized again.
God knows what they'll do about city. Go lenient like this and all the other clubs will freak out. Go hard and city will throw everything at them.
Seems clear that chelsea used the threat of powerful litigation to scare the Masters off.

This is it unfortunately, its why we need an independent regulator, Chelsea have a world wide fan base, who buy TV subscription's which increases the value of the PL, why would the PL want to hurt them or turn of millions of their own customers by doing so - they wouldn't.

Absolute conflict of interest therefore the rules cant be applied fairly.
