6 + 2 Point Deductions

We know what’s the reality but I doubt that’s going to be their legal argument - I just can’t see an angle other than whatever money we did spend allowed us to about relegation.

Burnley got relegated because they didn't get enough points and over the course of the season they were not good enough to stay up and finished where they deserved to it's nobody's fault but their own and has absolutely nothing to do with Everton whatsoever.

I agree completely, was just wondering why they think they have a case unless they just think it’s a free swing. One thing’s for sure as petty as I am if they come up next year they wouldn’t be getting any hospitality from me

Think it safe to say, Nothing will come of this. If (and it's a huge if) we somehow loose this, It opens the door for every team in the prem having issues with City and others who have fraudulently won titles etc over the Premier leagues time in charge to come out the woodwork.

I'm not sure tbh but I'd guess West Ham probably felt there was no case to answer against Sheffield United as well.

Sheffield United and West Ham have reached an out-of-court settlement over the Carlos Tevez affair

West Ham are thought to have paid Sheffield United in the region of £20m in compensation over the Carlos Tevez affair

They played an illegal player (or multiple in their case I believe) and knew about it, to gain a sporting advantage. We thought we were in compliance but the PL and then a judge thought otherwise. This itself was subjective as different judges handed different penalties, until the one that presided over Forest basically said don't know why we were handed such a penalty. Whatever we served a sporting penalty because of it.

Just because we weren't charged that season due to different factors isn't our responsibility.
