6 + 2 Point Deductions

[NorthernBlue]

Can’t we just have a plain old vanilla Crystal Palace type of season. Was looking forward to a relaxing April and May.

The worst thing about this is it's confirmation we have cheated.

Dyche will rack up the points in no time, there should be no concern about staying up - I think we will be out of the relegation zone within 2 games personally.

Longer term our reputation has been shattered.

Behave yourself

We are 5 points off Bournemouth currently.

Mate, I think you're making the same mistake a few are making and not taking into account Luton and Sheffield United move up the table with us dropping down.

Everyone is doing it.

Nobody gives a toss about us anyway. It probably wont even make the main headline in the sports pages so reputation means nothing.

No chance of an appeal being successful.

Sadly I agree, from reading that document we look so guilty.

The only thing is that the punishment is kinda just been plucked out of thin air and is more than a club would get for going into administration - and I am not sure that is quite fair

I was told 6; and it would be announced today...

It was announced today, and 4 points more than what I was told...

You talk absolute dog siht

My biggest worry with the whole thing is that they have laid out there, very clearly, that this decision sets no precedent and any punishment, or none-punishment is dependant entirely on the panel that is put together for that specific charge. That feels like a predetermined get-out-clause for all following cases.

The way that they have worded it also seems to suggest that it is not acceptable for clubs to expect to be anywhere beyond where these 'specialists' see them as being, and Everton should not have had the gall to aim for 6th place.

We'll be OK anyway, and as some have said this is probably the season you'd want it to land.

Nice to see Everton sticking up for themselves as well, and we will indeed watch with great interest for the outcome of other clubs over the next 12 months.

Is there a case to sue the premier league if the punishment is not as harsh for other clubs ?

Need in ground protest against the Premier league

Given the P&S assessment covers 3 years (or 4 due to Covid), it’s impossible to know which seasons relegation teams were actually affected.

And considering that money was completely wasted on rubbish that didn't improve us one bit

100% on this bit. An entirely different "independent commission" will be appointed for City

 

[davek]

Well, we're not appealing our guilt, we will appeal the severity of the punishment. I don't know who hears the appeal, but as no clause exists for the points deduction being increased it's something of a free hit.

It won't be successful. They've made their 'independent' decision and that will be seen as enough.

 

[Blue Willy]

At least they will be dealing with City, Chelsea and others soon. Should be sorted in the next 4 or 5 years. Maybe…

 

[summerisle]

I see The Premier League adopted new rules regarding penalties on the 10/8, how very convenient.

Need in ground protest against the Premier league

Yeah it’s honestly about time someone told those bellends to do one. It’s become the most corrupt competition in sport. They clearly don’t want us in it.
