Initial 10, then reduced to 6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Lineker]

Deliberate financial doping via hidden payments that contributes to multiple trophy wins = insignificant fine.

Incompetent accounting / difference of opinion on technical status of loans that contributes to absolutely nothing = 10 points.

Make it make sense.

10 points that also cost us almost the same as the fine in merit payments...I believe it wasb8.5M

I think it's time we get those PL corrupt flyers back out. Starting against Chelsea

 

[Toffeeslam]

See the EPL still as bent as usual

Some clubs get fines which is nothing to them others get points deductions

I take it Burnley will be suing then…….

 

[NathDogg]

Not even trying to hide the corruption are they. Hate that Everton just crumbled and took the points deductions without so much as a “you what?!”

I’d be pushing for an independent government regulator of the PL if only they could be trusted.

Get the banners and fliers back, I kept mine, knew we would need them again.

Absolute farce.

 

[RD2910]

I liked the level of detail in their sanction agreement. They just decided a points deduction wasn't appropriate, and that's that.

Seems some blues are still suffering from Stockholm syndrome

I think you’re reading too much into my comment.

I’m not saying their punishment is sufficient.
I’m not saying we were treated fairly.

I was just pointing out a misconception a poster had, which is addressed in the article.

Multiple trophy wins but apparentely the signing of Eden Hazard within that 47m gained Chelsea no sporting advantage.
Everton signing fabian delph was seen as a sporting advantage over other clubs.

Beautiful.

The only, only, silver lining, possibly, is that a points deduction for Chelsea would have virtually guaranteed the RS a Champions League place. As it stands, they now have a chance to keep them out. Which of course would cause an Anfield meltdown, and that would be fun.

But still, 100% corrupt as f....

Who cares about that? The 'champions' league has lost credibility

This is genius

 

[Mozza1987]

The Premier League is so corrupt. And they wonder why no one watches anymore. I watch Everton and couldn't care less about the league and the other games. It favours certain clubs and the matches are generally crap anyway.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Seen the same gist of the joke from paddy power media team as well

I’m glad that this isn’t just us fuming in our corners of the internet, the whole world sees this is a disgrace

It's about money for them all. They all care, and it perpetuates the status quo.

A points deduction for Chelsea would have us in the driving seat for a European place.

Everton should have been straight onto this yesterday and kicking up a stink

I'm surprised the leniency towards chelsea.
They,in my book,aren't really that big .
2nd division team with rubbish crowds,more famous for a hooligan documentary.
Are they really such a draw nowadays?
