6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Runub]

Typical Everton can’t get anything right. Could have just got relegated and saved all the upset of getting points deducted

They have effectively rolled over. This is doubly so if they don't challenge the verdict via appeal

That was my thought. Yes, they have holes in their rules but surely they cant say "the rules don't apply because for 2 weeks in the closed season, we were not a PL team". Its a shocker of a dropped ball if they can walk away without a challenge on that. Also, if Leicester can make it stick, imagine how many loop holes City's team will throw at them.

Seeing as the Premier League took points from us for indiscretions made in previous seasons - Any chance of them giving us our 8 points back from last year - seeing as they clearly think the deduction was unfair as they won't impose it on others?

showing their rules to be full of holes. As you say it was up to the PL to ensure all the clubs were subject to the rules, and they've well and truly failed. The whole thing has made them look like an absolute joke.

A disgrace.

Which we knew all along and said so.

 

[Groucho]

Id much rather be in our position of not having been relegated personally, there was no guarantee they would come back up.

Hope they go straight back down too.

Agree, but couldn’t care less who goes down as long as it’s not us.

 

[Raino85]

So by getting relegated has basically saved them from being punished for a PSR breach that we were done for twice in one season?

Why didn't we think of that.

Its Leicester, Forest & (now) Bournemouth for me

 

[Raino85]

As i understand it they deliberately extended their accounting period so that it ended and submitted after they were out of the PL. I must admit it brought a smile at them giving two fingers to the corrupt PL , hope it doesn’t come back to bite us .

This, although we have been stung, i am fully behind any non Sky 6 team beating any sort of PSR wrap, for the good of competitiveness.
My slight concern is that if Leicester didn't get relegated, they would of been slapped with a big points deduction.
You want the likes of Villa/Newcastle etc to strengthen without having to sell. even if you dislike them, its the only way teams out of that elite group can compete

The upset would of been worse if we had got relegated

Wolves in the mix I think

Its a loop hole you can only access if you get relegated though, hardly Sky 6 related as they are exempt

Bournemouth were poor against us (still won obviously) but have been playing ok. They easily have enough to stay up.

And look, if the protocol is established as precedent, then about 6 or 7 clubs are immune from the rules.

Bournemouth were like us. Started the season absolutely trash but then went on a few very good runs at points in the season. It all depends on their new striker as Solanke bagged a lot of goals for them.

So Leicester get a lawyer in to find a loophole to get everything thrown out.

We got a lawyer in (super silk) and graciously thank the premier league for a 6 point deduction.

We are a proper shambles aren’t we.
