6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Drico]

There is a belief amongst a fair number of Evertonians, warranted I believe, that if we were to get relegated that the club would go into freefall.
Everything about this club reeks of misery and dejection.
Other than supporters, there is no one fighting our corner. No rallying cry, no galvanising statement (which is what Forest have done), we have nothing.
I would rather we went down fighting than feebly accepting what some chinless bellwhiffs have decided.
I mean the whole club, supporters to players to tea ladies. If only we had someone to go on the front foot.

Rudderless, leaderless, useless.

They recommended -8 for Forest.

Well then that does raise significant questions

They care about being made to look idiots, because they don't want to be regulated

How does any of this process not make them look like idiots?

They couldn’t care less about Russian money, indeed they welcomed it under Abramovich.

Sanctions - imposed by the Government - took care of the Russian money in the league.

The PL were barely required to lift a finger to comply, except where Chelsea’s sale was concerned - and even then it was simple administrative boxes to be ticked.

It's an obvious figure. They have accepted they couldn't recommend -9 because that's for administration. Our appeal confirmed that our -10 was inappropriate for that reason. -8 was the most they could recommend.

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

The Monday Night Club on 5live is doing a great job tonight of showing what a farce this situation is.

Fair play to Mark Chapman for highlighting the massive inconsistencies of the Premier League.

They recommended 12 for us and that was with a significantly lower breach and they still think they are alright yo govern themselves, what a laugh.

As i said pages ago (will be lost now due to how quickly this page is being added to) the reason the pl asked for 8 was on the basis we got 6 after our appeal and they used this as a base, and they argued that Forest's breach was worse than ours (which it was) and added 2 more to get 8. Its in the judgement, but you have to dig deep.

Do i agree that is the starting point? No, however, due to the argument of it can't be worse than administration (9 points) then i guess 8 is a reasonable ask. Its also why I think we won't get more than another 2 points deducted due to a punishment not being worse than administration. Can't take credit for that line of thought someone on twitter said it, but I agree.

So they had a nice panel and we had RS or something haha. Something smells fishy

Going by Forest’s penalty reduction today I expect Everton to lose no more points, maybe a suspended points reduction based on how we operate in the future, and that would stink and be out of order.

That is not going to happen

Over 2000 pages on this forum. and it’s going to go up when we get stiffed in the next hearing, and then the appeal. 900 pages on relegation which is depressing enough but the fact that these farcical financial punishments have eclipsed, (and directly influenced the posts on that page, we should be about 9/10 points above all this if no deduction), demonstrates how much of a factor off the field corruption has infested the game.

Honestly, I very, very rarely enjoy football now.

football, whats that? I thought we were just involved in legal battles now - thats the way relegation should be decided isnt it?

 

[grandjoeblue]

Wheres the acting CEO? He should stop looking at bricks and put a statement out.

This is a disgrace and the club won't say nothing again. They were happy to accept the appeal result which was a bad result.

 

[ashwuk76]

Maybe we need to do a leqgue table of how well the lawyers do for clubs as essentially that is what football is boiling down to now, may as well forget the players on the pitch and supporters, they dont seem important anymore...

Think we are keeping our head down till after the 2nd hearing.

Everton :

Release a training video 2 hours ago and hope that no one asks any questions about why they won't make a statement about today
