Initial 10, then reduced to 6 + 2 Point Deductions

Don't they own a Dutch team too? Vitesse I think. Or am I misremembering?

Yes I think you are right mate.

So basically if we’d carried out some fraudulent transactions to avoid breaching PSR we’d have got a far lesser punishment than just honestly copping it. A terrific precedent to set.

Suspect that this one is a proverbial can of worms and if they hit Chelsea with anything they would fight, we’ll find that the practices they were engaged in were widespread and we’d have decades of litigation across the league

If agents were asking Chelsea to do this, then they won’t be the only ones

Chelsea's profile is too big in the Prem for them to issue any serious penalty.

We were the convenient scape goat, big enough to make a point to fend of regulation and a club in chaos who actually thanked the Premier League for a points deduction.

He shouldn’t have been and we should have made it an intimidating place for him to even think about coming to. Up in his face, shout at him, hurl abuse right in his face, block his way etc, maybe throw a beer or two over his head, nothing too untoward, but just letting him know what a crook he is.

He is such a narcissist I think that’s what he wanted so all the headlines would be about him and the PL and not the celebrations around one of the UKs most famous and iconic grounds.

He should have been allowed entry and then not allowed to take his seat because the club’s security team could not guarantee his safety(as with headlock gate) due to the strength of feeling against him…he could either accept the safety decision or be escorted off the premises immediately if he failed to comply.

If he tried to win a PR war post match by saying he was denied entry then I think most fair minded people would ask “why the hell would you go to Goodison on such an emotional occasion given your reputation amongst the club’s supporters and hierarchy”.

He’s a “merchant banker” of the highest order.

I heard Chelsea gave Ross Barkleys nan a mobility scooter and a lifetime of werthers

All you need to know about the PL this. It sets the groundwork for a city fine too

Don’t ever let us forget the difference in these cases is the PLs appetite. They properly went for us…..even rejecting our mitigation, that the loss of our main sponsor was a significant factor in our breach. They said we should have “foreseen” a global conflict…..that’s still ongoing

It was a mockery to begin with and open up the wider question of us getting shafted again. No sporting sanction on Chelsea for literally signing better players than they should have, taking points of teams, relegating them, denying them championships etc

Yet we’ve got clubs lining up to sue us? I hope Everton’s lawyers are watching very carefully and actually do something

It’s funny when you think about what they said about losing our sponsor and that we should have foreseen a war in the East.

I remember when the war broke out and the invasion of Ukraine happened. Some General was getting interviewed and stated that NATO had been taken by surprise by it.

But Everton football club, 4000 miles away should have predicted it…

How is Masters still in a job?

Fella is a joke

Doubt it matters who's the head of that organisation. The same with FIFA after getting rid of the corrupt Blatter they install an even more corrupt Infantino

How football became broken beyond repair

The game is going through an unprecedented period of financial and competitive imbalance. Miguel Delaney investigates how we got here and – crucially – whether the dominance of the mega-rich is here to stay

If that’s the mandate, then how would they make sure it doesn’t happen.

The game today is boring , take away any emotional investment and it’s stale and predictable. Look at a lot of the matches, it’s like the players are scared to tackle or any risks due to how much money they all cost. And it’s the same clubs more or less that are the topic of conversation or the most relevant at the end of every season.

Nothing is going to change because they know millions of fans will continue buying into the product and the television subscription services.

Scared to tackle because you get sent off for it even if you win the ball. The slow mo VAR then determines that the follow through is dangerous because some player is usually rolling around on the floor feigning injury to get his fellow professional sent off

The article states that they would have been under the PSR threshold whether they registered the payments or not.

Seems some blues are still suffering from Stockholm syndrome

 

[Frenk]

Been absolutely livid all day about this, then just realised it’s not worth it.

Well we all know the first thing NATO asks in any crisis is 'What would Everton do?' so it seems legit tbf

Wayne Rooney was tempted by this too.
