6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Victus]

Honestly because of how ridiculous the punishment is I think it'll be lowered massively.

Could we not appeal to our local MP,S ? Surely we have just been made an example off, the punishment far outweighs the crime, the highest points deduction in Premier league history, even more than the 9 point deduction for going into administration and getting you're debts cleared off for you.

The only worry I have is that after the appeal they increase it to 12 points. I'm basing that on the stories from the other week.

I think they'll have seen most media saying that the punishment is far too severe for the crime there's no way it's getting increased.. if anything it will be along the lines of remaining at 10 points but with with 5 being suspended.

And this is the angle Everton (and us as fans have to get the media onside with this) have to attack them.

You can't have someone on the panel who they themselves were part of an investigation where they broke the rules but were only given a fine.

And they definitely did get a sporting advantage.

It is a pretty limited bunch of players quality wise but compared to our peers I think we hold up pretty well on mentality and character.

However, I do agree this will have a big dent on player morale that I think is being underestimated on here by some who feel we will just be able to breeze by the promoted clubs.

We have a pretty tough set of fixtures coming up so could find ourselves detached. If we stay up it will go to the wire IMO

People should put the appeal out of their minds. You see a lot of people thinking it will be reduced but the opinions of the legal experts are that there is very little chance of this

Because we want DOOM!!!

Decembers fixtures are very hard for us too....

We really shouldn't be accepting any point deduction for off field breeches.

What stings most about all of this, is the people who overseen all of this have mostly moved on and the figurehead is in the middle of hatching his own escape.

Leaving the fans as the only ones their complete mismanagement is affecting.

Of course.. but we are demonstrably dogshit at that kind of thing.. hell we even once got banned from European competition due to the actions of others.

Knowing it's Everton they will add " Frivolous appeal" and double the points deduction, we are the example, to stop the Premier league being outside relegated.

Totally normal to have to adjust to a foreign war. Sensible punishments decided to be inappropriate due to the wealth of the owner - the owner is NOT being investigated, the CLUB/company is. That one is ludicrous and should be demolished on appeal.

this element is the most bizarre bit, we’ve been done for falling foul of financial sustainability regulations, while at the same time acknowledging the owner is minted
So are we unsustainable or are we wealthy enough to ride the losses, can’t be both.

Listening to the news this morning while bringing the young lad to Basketball traning.. not a mention of it in the sports section, less than 24 hours ago the biggest punishment in league history was handed out and it's forgotten about.

 

[Muggins]

Can anyone explain the differences between what Everton have done and what city have done?

Why were city not handed a points deduction immediately like we were? Do they just have better lawyers?

I’m guessing the latter..

And they've gone about it by appointing an outside regulator to punish us.

The main difference in what we've done compared to them is not being successful.

Our case was more straightforward.
1 recent charge, vs City’s 115 or whatever it is dating back years.

Theirs will take years to reach a stage of trial and punishment. By that time the rules will have probably all changed again and it’ll be swept away.
