6 + 2 Point Deductions

[HalfTimeSayers]

Media seem more concerned about what this means for City and Chelsea than what it means for Everton.

It’s ok. Already being spouted that their indiscretions are totally different and unrelated in every possible way to ours. Maximum punishment is they have to turn off their under soil heating for 6 minutes every Thursday.

He was never charged mate.

Yeah but I mean, can you imagine him being on the pitch in that situation? Everyone knowing, the abuse, it overshadowing the football not to mention the effect on the player. The dressing room too, team harmony etc The nature of the charges made a real grey area

 

[LEONARD]

God help Man City, but we all know that by the time their turn comes, it will be a fine and a slap on the wrist.

The establishment hates us.

A time for us all to stick together, avoid relegation and FCUK em!

 

[daza_1973]

what you want daza bend over and say oh united go on and feel sorry for ourselves?

don’t be stupid

No, why would I say that.
Sadly these days even the power of a rocking partizan Goodison can be undone by for example a diving rat called bruno and a scab six sympathetic ref or var official.

 

[Neiler]

Can't disagree with that.

Yep absolutely need to protest and civil disobedience against the PL, maximum disruption right where it hurts, starting against Utd.

Firstly, I’m glad we know where we stand now, pending an appeal which could take a while. We need to use this decision in our favour. We don’t sit too far off safety at the minute. Our first goal is to get out of the relegation zone asap and take it from there.

I’m sure dyche can conjure an ‘us against the world’ mentality.

They’ve ****ed with the wrong club and fans, I just hope the management and players can tap into this anger and translate it into match day performances.

We will not move to our new stadium in the championship. Not a chance.

UTFT

I think this will galvanize us more than anything. Fluff the lot of them - two fingers right back and let's get safety even with ten points stolen.

Teams have gone into administration for less, so an appeal to reduce may be successful.

F THEM tell em to double the deduction... we'll still stay up... we are Everton

Maybe the Premier League have looked at our points tally so far and come to the conclusion that realistically they can dish out a harsh points deduction and going on form we can still survive.
This way they look like they are clamping down but we still realistically have a good chance of staying up. Basically I think they are all just a bunch of tossers. Screw them

 

[Rita_Poon]

So erm remember the clubs lined up trying to take loans during covid to be able to keep the lesser paid staff working for them? Remember the overspill from all that?

The fa appear to have their priorities somewhat muddled.

Thanks for clarifying that. I was under the impression that the Commission was in fact going by that structured standard, hence the 10 points. If they in fact rejected it but then arbitrarily came up with 10 points anyway, then we would have a better chance of getting that reduced on appeal as an unfairly harsh punishment.

Had they actually been publicly committing to that standard, it would be hard to see how we could get it reduced on appeal after having already admitted guilt. Which was my argument earlier in the thread.

But it does now open the door a little to the appeals strategy of "well, we are guilty, but the punishment doesn't remotely fit the crime."

We pleaded guilty. So this doesn’t matter (although it’s embarrassing). The punishment is completely wrong. We took fairly logical business risks and all of them failed. That’s poor business acumen/luck not a [swear word] offence punishable by a punitive sanction. We’ve been doubly punished, made the losses AND been sanctioned

I'm not really sure I can stick on board with football after this.
Its bent to the core.

Will give it this season as it's going to be dynamite now. And then one year in Bramley Moore before I give up season tickets.

Its nothing but a charade now days.

F THEM tell em to double the deduction... we'll still stay up... we are Everton

If they double it, we go down; so NO!

Triple punished as we've now lost 10m in merit money as it stands.

In all this madness it looks like Sky Sports News have inadvertently revealed The Bobble in this clip.

 

[Cjplennon]

We cant cope with that deduction.

Not at all.

A 48-50 point season is needed and we're still off that rate with DCL and Tarkowski being fit.

A key injury is all this takes now to relegate us.

Make no mistake that decision today relegated us.

All the bravado of "we can easily get clear" is BS. We cant.

Well im sorry this is utter tosh. We are only 2 points of being clear with a better goal difference tyan 12th place wolves. We are playing way better than last year and surrounded fortunately by poor teams. We go again! COYBs!
