you don't have to look hard to see we are not getting relegated. All we have to do is win one game more than Sheffield and Luton do. Given that we have already won more games than both of them put together, I honestly don't see how anyone (apart from the obvious wum) can think we will get relegated.

TV money was coming into the game. The English game was on its arse and one of the worst in world football. The proposals were already there since the mid 80s. 10 clubs were initially involved and in favour of doing so years prior. The FA made proposals on it. The entire 1st Division all agreed to it.
The whole thing was eventually arranged through the correct channels and had everyone clubs agreement. The 5 clubs were used to push it through these channels as they had the biggest sway
The Super League was nothing like this. It was an unsanctioned closed league for the wealthiest clubs with no input from any body in world football.
You're misconstruing the similar intentions of how they became...ie money. But reasons behind and execution are the polar opposites.
I wouldn't have a clue to be honest, the minutiae of football finance is way too dull for me to get even a layman's grasp on the technical details. I did read yesterday that by the prems own recommended scale, which was oddly rejected we would have recieved 10 points deduction anyway, so you would have thought 10 is the max. That they wanted it rushed through for last season exposes their objective a bit.
I've floated more and more to rugby league and cricket the last few years, even a bit of NFL. Its a shame I hate what boxing has become as my interest in that is near zero, I still train in the gyms but when lads talk about fights on the weekend I haven't a clue what happened.
Think I will always have a connection to Everton that will exceed any other sporting institution, but the prem and the sport itself has been destroyed as a spectacle by its capitalist greed. International tournamnets are still great though.

Dont be so sure that the season is just going to go along as it has so far. Luton were a minute away from beating liverpool. Bournemouth have just beaten newcastle. Sheff utd have just picked up their first win.
I hope you are right. But im certainly not counting on some of these teams just rolling over for the rest of the season.

Have a day off we’re 2 points off luton I would hate to be in the trenches with you ya big fanny we roll are sleeves up and fight FFS
Anyone else find it weird there is no official statement from the commission at how the punishment decision was made?
The fact we’re one win from being safe shows how wank this league really is. I don’t think we’ll necessarily comfortably stay up but I still expect us to get more points than those around us now.
I've followed the NFL more over recent years as even though it's America's sport it is the most socialist league in the world.
All teams have the same salary cap. Sponsorship and merchandise sales are divided up and given equally across the teams.
The Draft system gives the worst teams in the league the perfect chance for them to improve straight away.
While the Premier league is the capitalist greed league.
I think by Xmas we will be about 3 points safe.
A farce:
Until 2021, a club’s spending on capital projects, such as stadiums or training grounds, was not part of the PSR calculation. The logic was this outlay was wise investment, not risky, unsustainable spending by some fly-by-night, seeking on-pitch success in the here and now.
Yet from 2022, as Everton were paying out heavily for a new stadium from which the Premier League and the city of Liverpool will benefit, that spend did count against them. The goalposts changed.

I don’t know if the NFL is the same but I can’t take most yank sports seriously (and I love the NBA) since you can’t get relegated and teams purposely throw whole seasons to get a better draft. Madness. Imagine doing that in footie.

We haven't. . "The Premier League has made it clear that it makes no allegation of dishonesty. We consider, therefore, that Everton did not consciously intend to circumvent the Rules...t is not a case of a deliberate breach."
We haven't misrepresented anything. The league have not accepted what we've put as losses as part of P&R. No matter how outlandish those figures are....there's no 'dishonesty'
As for Derby... 9 points...in addition to the 12 for entering administration. As mentioned...these points on the back of more issues and were more than 1 crime.
