6 + 2 Point Deductions


So how many points are we getting deducted after last night? I reckon 4 and a penalty to Liverpool.

1: Huge pitch invasion
Apparently 3 blades of grass were stood on, and it offended Slot and clearly all media outlets including our very own local news.

1: Not rolling over and letting Liverpool win. Not fulfilling unwritten Premier League agenda duties. This may be increased.

1: Doucoure wrapping his throat around Curtis Jones’ wrists, whilst having his back to the charging Red fumer!

1: Goodison Park performing some strange witchcraft, unapproved by the League, making our fans loud and noisey, putting Liverpool players off, and not having stadium announcements in 17 none-english languages to assist the visiting Liverpool “fans”.

Tbf it would just be our luck to get a points deduction for the bust up (it has happened to teams before) or for the pitch invasion

I think it was 1990 Man Utd and Arsenal both got 2 points deducted.
There’s similar to last night every season and no points deducted.

Unfortunately, if they deducted points for us they’d have to do the same for the RS and that will never be allowed to happen.

They may do if they felt it would make the title race a bit more interesting

Liverpool got 3 red cards after the game. They would have to take more points from them than us.

It’ll be a fine for failing to control players.

We get another fine for fans encroaching onto the picture and pyrotechnics.

Interesting. Hard to say whether this is better or worse for us than the proposed move to SCR would have been.

Sticking with the current PSR we are losing our worst year from the calculation and obviously gaining a lot of revenue next season so we will still end up with a very healthy amount of wiggle room.

There may have been even more wiggle room under SCR, but on the flip side, plenty of other clubs will be more constrained by keeping PSR than we are and will be worse off by not changing - so in terms of competition for signings etc it might be an overall win even if our budget is slightly less.

Genuinely I bet we're sailing a bit close to the wind in terms of pitch invasions/pyro etc. Not necessarily a points deduction but we're probably getting to a point where they're looking for a proper punishment on the basis that what they've done so far hasn't had any impact. Not saying that's how it should be by the way, but I reckon it is.
 
It isn’t clear whether this is good, bad, or indifferent news for us. Under the current rules, you are allowed to spend 100 percent of your revenue, and you are even allowed to lose some cash. My understanding is that the SQR rules actually place a cap on how much revenue you can spend, so maybe this is better for us?

Another thing I'd add is that from a "fairness" perspective, we've been constrained by these current rules for years so maybe it's a good thing to see other clubs still constrained by the same rules at a time when we've done our belt-tightening and are coming out the other side.

Several clubs are entering the part of the cycle we've just been through, which is good news for us, and this may even present an opportunity to pick off players the way other teams have done to us. Keeping the same rules maybe gives us a chance to level the playing field a touch.
