Been mulling over the forest appeal, and there’s no way it gets reduced even by a point. To do so throws the whole thing open to legal proceedings
Even further if it got reduced and Everton got further penalties I’m pretty sure Everton would be in court very quickly and potentially not fulfilling fixtures such would be the disparity in the sanctions
My personal opinion is this second charge follows the EFL protocols now. We accepted the 6 point sanction based on that benchmark. Therefore we’ll make very strong arguments if we’re charged by that methodology, you need to follow the rules of the EFL where’s there’s no “double jeopardy” and with a downward trajectory on our numbers and a mitigation, we’ll get a slapped wrist.
