6 + 2 Point Deductions

What a load of bollocks, then how are they going to punish City ?

Presumably the csse is City have gained a sporting advantage and willfully broke guidelines.

We can appeal but I think the PL will give us the "V" sign.

You're quoting the EFL rules. The report says it was wrong for Everton to refer to the rules of a different league so quoting them is pointless.

A deliberate breach to gain a sporting advantage and accidental breach therefore gaining a sporting advantage are not the same thing.

Nope, every quote was from their official report.

The thing is and I stand to be corrected but City aren't being charged with what we were. They are being charged with inflating commercial deals for 9 seasons from what I can see and I haven't fully read what that means. But yes if proven how can it not have been a sporting advantage. And if you go by what the commission did to us in that monetary fine is appropriate due to how rich our owners are you can only assume in a years time Man City will be playing Sunday league.......

We all know they will change the rules to mean a maximum penalty of less than what we just got though...

City have not handed over their books nor have Chelsea - we did .....

Nah it will be 4 as they will hold up both hands..

 

[Lob]

Then how is it they indicated to the 3 "B"s that they can take action against us ?

Because we did breach the rules and are guilty and can receive whatever punishment they wish to inflict upon us as per their formula and criteria. They could have reduced their starting point to a low point reduction or even suspended if they wished but they chose to ignore all mitigating factors and hit us hard and make an example of us.

I think eventually they will have to hand them over... its just delaying tactics...then they will Bury them in paperwork.. like we tried and failed to do. Common defence tactic.

What formula is this you keep referring to ? The PL tried to introduce one and the commission said thanks but no thanks we can make this up ourselves. A formula doesn't exist in the PL which is why they tried to introduce one to the commission.

Could the implication be when they get round to City and Chelsea they will be more lenient ?

Regardless of what happens, we should take the PL to court.

Interesting thought but on what grounds ?

Hammers insider Sean Whetstone says West Ham’s ex Finance Director Nick Igoe was one of a three-man independent panel that decided on Everton’s 10-point deduction for financial irregularities.

I’m not a lawyer but clearly their unfair and unprecedented ruling without waiting for a right of appeal has damaged Everton’s reputation across the globe now. They have handed out the biggest points deduction in PL football history. By definition they are also hitting us with a fine of whatever the lost prize money will be through league placings of having 10 points less. That loss of prize money could well end up being close to what the entire scab six were fined combined for the super league.
