6 + 2 Point Deductions

[mikel_88]

Honestly have no idea what will happen was shocked with the first one and then we atill have not had any transcript come out from that. Curious to see how the club attack this

 

[Somerset Blue]

At this point I'm expecting it to be upheld, sadly.

It will be, a face saving exercise incoming.

 

[MikeH72]

I'm going with it being reduced to 6 for the breach, think we will get the 4 points removed which i think is 1 point for every 5mil we were over

Would be fuming with that. That’s not right at all.

 

[Victus]

Based on what?

My depression with this stupid club.

The Premier league response in The Times is the only response they could have made. Masters and the rest of the them absolutely couldn’t have done anything else but double down. It’s also no coincidence considering that response has been made/ printed on the exact day that the appeal hearing started.

This is now about the people who run the Premier league trying to be employed after this debacle, I can’t imagine them flip-flopping after months of posturing and pretending they are up to the job is going to be a good look to potential employers. They will be calling in media favours wherever they can, I fully expect Talk shizzle and Sky sports to be churning out some “well they broke the rules etc“ narrative today as well.

Time for the suit to earn his corn. Our appeal is not only about Everton and other clubs falling foul of arbitrary rules, it’s now a very real end of employment to the sycophantic leeches at the top of the Premier league and I fully expect them to come out fighting to make sure their noses are still in the trough.

On the one hand I think we just need this done with so it’s welcome that it’s getting underway.

On the other, it’s very convenient for the PL that the appeal begins before they have to respond to the DCMS letter. The minutes of the board meeting, or even their refusal to provide them, could’ve been material to our case.

Nothing will change. At the moment it's widely considered that the PL are incompetent. If they go back on their decision to sanction Everton then they will appear incompetent and weak. We are getting shafted and nothing will change.

 

[Del-boy]

Nerves will be shot over the next few weeks with this.
Imagine being a fan of another club, who gets nervous over normal things like cup finals.

 

[Evertonthat]

Who's on the "independent" pannel this time...? Not Leeds utd's KC again surely...

 

[efcfanwirral]

Got to be a slight concern that all this attacking the Premier League might actually make things worse. This "clubs who played by the rules" stuff is making me uneasy. Could go either way I guess

But it’s an independent commission

Judging by the very limited transfer activity, I'd think about half the league have already cooked their books as much as they can. I wonder how many of them are withing a mill or two of that 105M limit?

They could have said “we can’t comment on individual cases due to the ongoing appeal process.” Instead they have fed more completely one-sided info (factual or not, it’s one sided) out there that influences media, other clubs, and whichever knobs they hand pick for the “independent” commission for the appeal.

Beginning to feel we either manage to discredit the entire structure of the regulations and burn the whole thing to the ground, or we are getting what we have got, plus another kick in the sack for the 2nd charge.

 

[MichaelEFC96]

If we get our points back surely that makes any potential deduction from the second charge groundless

Different panel this time. The owners of Sheffield Utd, Burnley and Luton
