If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
The admission of guilt at the first hearing is likley what done us...
Would love to get all of the former board members (kenwright notwithstanding) and moshiri in a room and ask them what they thought they were doing - we clearly breached the rules.
Did they think we’d just get a slap on the wrists and asked nicely not to do it again? If the premier league had slicker processes and applied the deduction last season it would have been the cause of our relegation- unforgivable

I think it's closer to the truth but even still it's explains our situation

What I don't understand is what's the point of qualifying for Europe outside the Champions League?
The money in the Europa and Conference League is pitiful compared to the Champions League
I think we'll have teams losing game to NOT qualify because their wage bills will kill them.
It's utterly ridiculous and another rule change which is killing this league.
If you're a Super League fan, it's another step away

There's absolutely no chance we will get our points back. And we will be docked more before the season ends. Whilst it doesn't seem like it at the moment we're still a threat to the 6 teams. Albeit a minor threat.
Absolutely, 100% without any question, if they have found (what most knew) that the rules dont work, they then become unenforceable in any way and this season should be played out without any such sanctions being in place! Will it happen, highly unlikely but it needs careful watching by all affected, including those inhibited by it and by those at risk of falling foul of it and if they do anything that again compromises the integrity we and the others shoudl go at them hard with everything at our disposal. Its made a complete mockery of the whole premise of competition(dont make me laugh, competition!) and affects this season and effectively many seasons going forward as every club will be looking over their shoulders apart for you know who.
I hope the arse falls out of it now and we lead a breakaway.

Yeah I thought the same. I guess it’s a clumsy attempt to help teams that don’t make Europe but it feels like it goes too far and like you say you might see teams actively try to avoid the dreaded conference slot.
At the end of the day Europa / Conference is the most a lot of clubs have to hope for with the Sky 6 having most of it seen up and it should be rewarding not punishing to get there. Bearing in mind that to cope with the extra games you also need to expand the squad. It’s a bit odd, and probably needs to have different graduations for CL and the rest.

So glad in this new world that the top 6 can spend even more than they do now, I was starting to feel sorry for them and wondered how'd they ever keep up with the rest of the league.

Anyway the rules change in the future, not the past, so any team that's fallen foul of them, be it us, Forest, City, Chelsea, Leicester, will still be dealt with according to the rules at the time.
I can't see anything but negatives for clubs like Everton with these new rules though, basically if you're not already established as a club with a huge turnover, you will need a fluke period of success otherwise you're screwed.
We need the war over and Usmanov back on board sponsoring everything from the toilets to the new ground's trees to be in with half a chance.

And not just a fluke like Leicester - you'd need a solid 5 year fluke to manage to increase revenues sufficiently to make a difference.

Yep - that's why I used the term period. One fluke league win and foray into the Champions League might get you £100m more, but failing to follow that up just means you've been able to afford three new players and that's it.

New proposed rules just give the richer clubs more leeway/money, as long as the PL keep nodding to them when they arbitrarily decide on what figures they accept for inflated sponsorships, wage structures, deals, etc.
If Man City want a £200m sock sponsor, the PL says fine. If we or Forest for example wanted a relatively similar deal, they tell us to ball off.
Its not about figures or percentages; indeed correct monetary business statements. Its about how the PL is run, in its current corrupt manor, favouring the clubs that bring in the millions of viewers from the far east, africa etc. They, together with Sky have made this mess - turning a loved national game, OUR game into THEIR very own income.
The other 14 need to stand up, together. No more.

It's the gravy train in full display...the 14 or at least most of them are quite happy unfortunately to go along as long as they get their decent cut that allows them to continue tu survive at the top of english football, even if they know that they will never challenge the top 6.
