6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Walken]

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.

What a shock you've taken this angle

Hopefully we can appeal and get it reduced by a few points. The players need to come out fighting after this and show we aren’t arsed and will stay up regardless.

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

It's not fair at all.

It's a disgrace.

But it'll stand.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

The other teams are so bad it looks like we really got away with one this time.

 

[tsubaki]

No chance of an appeal being successful.

I disagree - its a breach of PSR by less than £20 million, and has attracted almost the upper end of the scale of points deduction (10 out of a maximum 12) despite extensive cooperation and them looking over the books.

The verdict might not be overturned but the deduction could (should) be reduced, simply because it (if left in place) leaves clubs thinking of breaching PSR a precedent that you may as well absolutely cane it and obstruct the process because you'll only get an extra two points if they find you guilty.

 

[Davideeyore]

Even with -10 points, we'll stay up.

 

[Saint Domingo]

If we stay up and appeal do we get the 10 points next season added on?

 

[Pettifogger]

They’re doing it because they loathe the club and they think they can get away with it

Respond in kind

Simon Jordan saying Everton right to appeal, and believes it will be reduced to 3-6pts

 

[Bwana]

We're live watching a sport doing a seppuku.

Corrupt. To the core. Yes, in a way we are reaping what we've been sowing around but this stinks to high heaven. Just the right size of a club to set an example...

We'll stay up. Aaand I'm guessing Goodison will be noisy...

UTFT!

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Two points behind a team that already beat us at Goodison.

The fact we were STILL 8 points ahead of them only emphasises my point though.

We didn't cheat though.

If we did we'd be pulled up for submitting false accounts. Accounts that are audited and accepted by the premier league.

 

[Dancing Pat]

Grim, but not surprising

I assume that the 10 points will now be awarded to the RS along with a penalty at Analfield.

 

[Bluelenny1984]

Football has stunk of corruption and moral bankruptcy for a long time, it's hard to love this game sometimes! They've made and example of us today, stinks this does!

1. The culmination of years of mismanagement.
2. Penalty will be appealed, personally (without any inside knowledge) it will be reduced a bit. You can't dock 10 points when it's only 9 for Admin.
3. The standard has been set. The PL likely won't follow it, but it's been set.
4. There will be scenes at every Everton match. We have a new villain.
