6 + 2 Point Deductions

Well I would prefer you lot to stay up (which you will). Probably better to take your licks now and start afresh next season. Not saying you deserve the punishment but if they stick, starting with a clean slate is preferable right?
That would be nice mate, except...


It never ends. 😤
 
That third charge wouldnt include a roughly starting 3 points though id imagine. Sure i read yesterday that its likely to be just a point if found guilty as it wouod be added to this charge but just not handled at the same time.

Well who knows how they’d arrive at a deduction? Could be anywhere from 1 to 28 lol

If they scrap the rules at season end it would be absolutely ludicrous to deduct points from us ahead of next season. Which means it’s deffo happening.

There’s no doubt the report details long term mismanagement by our club - and should have seen all the directors over that period be dismissed without compensation - but this paragraph alone should also result in Masters handing in his resignation today and an independent enquiry launched into who at the Premier League, or amongst its members, were the prime movers in something that was “unwarranted” and “overstated”.
 
Couldn't believe PED wasn't tearing heads off on 5Live.

Piss poor effort that.


From the BBC:

Despite the uncertainty around when the appeal process might be complete, Everton fan and host of The Blue Room podcast Peter MacFarlane believes this latest deduction gives them - if not their relegation rivals - clarity.

"There has to be some sort of relief because it appears that it's coming to its conclusion now," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"I feel like we've been in the dark since November - we haven't actually known where we stood in the league with these point deductions.

"As disappointing as it is to get more points taken off us and how much of an injustice we may feel that is, at least we now know what we need to do to stay in the Premier League."

How on earth is that an appropriate response to another points deduction?

That's just someone keeping lines open to the MSM to be used as their 'sane voice of the fans'.

He did us no favours there yesterday.

And people still genuinley believe there is no corruption or agenda against us.... this paragraph right here proves otherwise..
 
Seriously depressing eh? Remember the days you spent 90% of your time discussing the football team, players and results?
It’s absolutely farcical. The PL has turned the whole league into a circus. Those at the helm have undermined the credibility of the competition and brought it into disrepute. There should be serious questions asked at Government level over the suitability of those at the top of the game to effectively govern it.
 

I don't really think it's a vendetta against Everton, more that we are a suitable target. The right sized club who have messed up enough to justify getting hammered, the fact that the prem have handled it appallingly probably is more down to incompetence that being personal

This. It's easy to match conspiracies to the actions. But fact is, we have been targeted, unjustly ahead of others. Disproportionately too, and you can't help but think its for a reason to suit those that want to retain their power. Cartel 6 or the Premier itself, we are a pawn in a bigger game as they try to keep control and the power they have.

Also, we don't have any clarity as there's still a faint possibility of more points taken off this season (but more than likely next).

I think it’s most likely a combination of being frustrated with the way the club handled things initially, fear of an independent regulator and incompetence which has led us here. And it’s a disgrace.
