Narrative is set with sly and spitty saying 6 is fair, the briefing from masters has reached them. Get in the bin you corrupt barstewards!

It’s the opposite of fair - there should only ever be a financial penalty for a financial breach; they’ve agreed that there has been illegalities with the process from the PL and that it was a legitimate mistake omitting the loans for the new ground off the PSR because the rules are a joke and unfit for purpose.

How Dafuq is that fair?! The league has no integrity, hasn’t since the charges were levelled and the 10 points snatched away rapidly to just try to prevent independent regulation.

It’s an absolute disgrace - we should be in 13th position on 31 points miles away from any relegation mess.

 

[PITA]

This is what is irking me at the moment

Well don't let because we would still be in 15th position.

Luton fans are livid. Get a load of this dullard:

He obviously doesn't know his history.

 

[MIKE85]

It's the other way around. We got 2 uphold and 7 rejected.

The club claim they have been “vindicated” by the appeal and that is true to an extent (a four-point extent, to be exact) but, importantly, the board rejected seven of the nine grounds of appeal put forward by the “super silk” Laurence Rabinowitz KC.

 

[SerenityNigh]

Right, but the report states they’ve used the EFL’s framework so that does imply double jeopardy?

Also what does Forest being in the league for 2 years have to do with it?

I don't dislike Alan but no chance I'm taking his opinion on this

 

[carolinablue232]

think they’re guna get it far worse then we did? surely please

Hope so, but I have no idea what’s going on with their breach. At least now a precedent has been set. So if they’re in further breach, the minimum is what we got with a max likely of 8 I would guess.

 

[Chewbacca]

I cannot hide how angry I am with Everton, for rolling over with glee and acceptance over the decision.

"The Club is also particularly pleased with the Appeal Board’s decision to overturn the original Commission’s finding that the Club failed to act in utmost good faith. That decision, along with reducing the points deduction, was an incredibly important point of principle for the Club on appeal. The Club, therefore, feels vindicated in pursuing its appeal".

What it says is they never really challenged the Premier League what they were more concerned about was a principle! Don't forget this is the same Everton that smeered the fans over headlock. Because it was their call. It was them that made the first submission.

I hope there are more Everton fans that can see how pathetic this club is. They should have been pushing for a wiping of the 10 points not a reduction.

Long game lad, long game

25 points, 12 games to play. 15 points to find.

The scenery has changed a tiny bit but we still need to turn up and beat Burnley, Sheff utd, Luton and Forest.

The equation for safety is as it was.

Why do you think we need 40 points?

 

[Librarian]

Forest had a lot lower acceptable losses because they are part under the EFL and part under the PL for their 3 year period.

Their limit was a breach over 65 million whereas ours is over 105.

They will argue that they were only over the limit for 2 months whilst they waited on the sale of Brennan Johnson and they will argue that this was forced by the date for Transfer Deadline day, otherwise they would have had to sell Johnson for 35m instead of 47.

Don’t know if that would or should hold water, but it’s a different set of circumstances.

 

[Davideeyore]

Long game lad, long game

I accept that.

In what context though? Are we talking Wimbledon style? !

Seriously though, are we talking 2nd charge. Or are we talking further legal action?

 

[PITA]

Need to factor in at least another 6 points for the 2nd breach, so 21 points.

Why do you think that we need 40 points?

 

[knowing your history]

Just had a look at the Forest forum. Amongst all the one eyed ness (as you get on here) I note hearing is early March and then any appeal would be heard and concluded by middle of April.

Anyone know if the second charge is along the same timeline?
