Initial 10, then reduced to 6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Cool_Blue]

I would assume that these clubs have sought legal advice, which is likely to have indicated they have a case.

I hope they lose millions in costs if they fail

I’ll make a prediction of: - 10 point deduction for Everton, then the number of cases of financial digressions just got too many and complicated forcing the PL into a rethink on FFP and an amnesty on all unresolved cases. Everton will remain the only club ever punished by FFP.

the Niasse ‘dive’ sanction springs to mind

So Man City and Chelsea to be nuked out of existence then?

No mate. The whole process will get changed after this case.
You watch.

Agree with the 2nd part. The first part is just passing the buck. The PL doesn't manage EFC's finances.

 

[Joey66]

Surely City and Chelsea will be relegated to League One for their breaches of the same rules now that precedent is set. *holds breath*

League one, more like down to the National league -

 

[Blueclouds]

Yep no doubt.

This is why Man City will never get punished, the list is so long their argument is they should be given time to investigate and prepare their evidence for all this historical stuff and that will take years and years.

Everton through just shear incompetence will be the only team punished.

Whu not just charge them with a few charges and bring the rest later on

Leicester thinking about laying the boot in now. Where will it end?

Based on what though?

Been agreed we gained no sporting advantage.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Sky Sports leaning pretty heavily on the whole 'will other clubs sue?' aspect of the story, because of course they'd love nothing more than to twist the knife a bit..

...and yet there you are paying them your money for their opinion. Not a dig at you, pal, just a gripe at how the "system" works.

 

[Houghty19]

Apologies, My bad - Somehow the table I was looking at earlier had Luton on 9 points!

That was probably the Luton fantasy league table

 

[Efcjake]

We should be far more annoyed at the owners and the board than the Premier League. We broke the rules and then publicly denied it. Only to admit we had broken the rules. That probably played a huge part in how severe the punishment is. If we had admitted we had broke the rules straightaway we would almost certainly have been relegated last season.

I think we will almost certainly be okay points-wise this season but the worry is getting sued by the likes of Leeds, Leicester, and Burnley. Those costs could finish us off.

Oh look it's another doom mongering kopite

 

[Igrok]

we just can‘t accept it. Period.

 

[jazzy]

We finished 5th and would’ve got CL in one of them title winning City seasons

I thought we had but didn't check it.

 

[Groucho]

No mate. The whole process will get changed after this case.
You watch.

Christ, Portsmouth only got a 9 point deduction for administration.

 

[Blueclouds]

we just can‘t accept it. Period.

No but we need the punishment this season and not next season.

 

[neil999]

Without any evidence, I think it will be reduced to 6

 

[jimmythenut]

Sounds a bit dramatic. But we should just go and play our football in Scotland or Wales and stick a finger up to the Premier league.

Joking aside. It's the FFP rules and the whole pyramid system that needs resetting, but no, just try and reset Everton and that will do.
