6 + 2 Point Deductions

Luckily our fate is still in our hands.

the top 4 one?

 

[allen]

Out of his depth.

 

[Toffeelover]

They may be able to take points of us but they cannot take our performance this season away from us.

 

[Saint Domingo]

This for a a £20mil loss

Over an arbitrary accounting period that has since been rectified through the club working with the PL. Absolutely stinks.

If the max penalty is 12 points I bet moshiri and Usmanov had wished they’d just dropped 1/2 a billion on us and stuck 2 fingers up to the premier league and kept the likes of richarlison . May as well be 1/2 billion over than 20mil

 

[CielosGrises]

Disgusting and just underlines how morally corrupt the PL is. Basically they've picked on the weakest target to make their lives easier. Watch the rich clubs totally outmaneuvre them.

 

[Walken]

everton are the wrong club to kick in the balls wel all stand together F U FA

Behave, we are the perfect club to punish, no media presence or global image that will harm the prem product as they stuff us to prevent outside regulation, just big enough to send the right (or corrupt) message

 

[davek]

I disagree - its a breach of PSR by less than £20 million, and has attracted almost the upper end of the scale of points deduction (10 out of a maximum 12) despite extensive cooperation and them looking over the books.

The verdict might not be overturned but the deduction could (should) be reduced, simply because it (if left in place) leaves clubs thinking of breaching PSR a precedent that you may as well absolutely cane it and obstruct the process because you'll only get an extra two points if they find you guilty.

Nah. They won't be taking off points then adding them back. The 10 points will stay.

Simon Jordan saying Everton right to appeal, and believes it will be reduced to 3-6pts

could it go the other way and be increased for a spurious appeal?

 

[GraemeS1980]

The treble is still on

 

[Tim UpperBullen]

It maybe worth taking the punishment and staying up due to the bottom 3 being rubbish. An appeal might push it into next season when the league could well be stronger.
Maybe time to look at our accounts. We have not been run competently for years, an owner and board not fit for purpose who stopped AGMs to avoid scrutiny. The fact that other clubs may have also broken the rules doesn't mean we haven't and that the punishment is not appropriate. Time to concentrate on us not other clubs and hope the people in charge now are making correct decisions.
Hopefully this brings to a swift conclusion any talk of naming stands after failed administrators who have put the club in probably its worst position in its history and have dragged the name of Everton Football Club through the mud

 

[Lee Smith]

You know what lads, in May, when we finish the season 9 points off a Champions League place, I’m going to be really pissed off!

 

[COYB75]

We'll be fine this season, nice bit of motivation to stick it to the Premier League by not being relegated. We can only wait to see what happens with City, Chelsea and and any others who fall foul of this. (Probably nothing as City will tie it up in legal proceedings for years). They have the cash to fight the Premier league for as long as they want. It's not surprising and could have been worse.

 

[Sean Ashley]

The points deduction is a disgrace and should be reduced on appeal, as many have said this surely opens other teams to bigger punishments. But unfortunately this league is too corrupt to hand out proper punishments to City & Chelsea.

I think though is could be the best thing for our Goodison form as this will galvanise the fan base in one direction for the first time in a long while. I can see it being torture for Manu utd and hopefully other teams that come now before the end of the season as we fight fight fight. COYB!!

 

[Jokerdan]

Right, let's now see how the PL proceed against City and Chelsea...but I, for one, am not holding my breath!
