I would love us to just come out and refuse to play. Sod it. Get another point docked. Just refuse to play and say ‘you have relegated us anyway so you have your wish, we won’t play another game until the ten points are back’. At least we would go down on our own terms.

Not sure that is a wise move.
Wouldn't it just be the best thing ever if the PL ended up with government regulation because of the harsh sanctions the very thing they were trying to avoid by handing out a harsh sanction.. if they went with a sensible 5 or 6 points suspended pending further breaches then this whole thing would have blown over by now, instead it's just getting started.
Everton’s 10-point penalty ‘grossly unjust’ and should be suspended, says MP | BreakingNews.ie
An early day motion concerning the club’s plight has been tabled in the House of Commons.www.breakingnews.ie
It’d be hugely ironic
I haven’t commented on the 10 point deduction as yet as I thought it was best to let the initial impact pass. I think the first thing we need to get our coll head around is that “we did this”. The club was so badly run that we put ourselves in the position that someone has to pass judgement on us. That said, I turn to the scale of the punishment, 10 points seems excessive, when you factor in that the PL have said there was no sporting advantage then it seems completely unjustified. It has to be fought through the appeal system and every minute detail has to be explored. If this is the PL now coming down heavy on rule breakers then everyone has to be treated equally, the big clubs have to be treated in the same way. Man City’s 120 changes, if proven, have to be given the same severe punishment.
Hopefully the head of steam which seems to be building around this judgement will see wholesale changes to the administration of the PL.

In the motion, tabled by Mr Byrne on Monday evening, he slammed what he said was the commission’s “cavalier” approach to the punitive sanction it handed down and backed calls for an independent football regulator.
His motion, in full, read: “That this House condemns the grossly unjust points deduction imposed on Everton Football Club by a Premier League commission, a punishment lacking any legal or equitable foundation or justification for the level of sanction; notes that financial-not-sporting penalties for far more severe breaches have been applied, including the industry-and-community-threatening European Super League; declares that sporting sanctions unfairly punish supporters; notices the improper dismissal of extraordinary mitigating circumstances outlined by Everton; impresses on the House Everton’s investment in North Liverpool, its 2028 Euro Stadium, and the club’s long-standing, commendable commitment to Liverpool’s vulnerable; gravely remarks that these investments are now under threat; that this House contends the Premier League can no longer fairly govern top-flight football without independent scrutiny and legislation; asserts that the commission’s cavalier approach to points deductions necessitates acceleration of the introduction of the Government’s proposed Independent Regulator; urges the Government to immediately establish an Independent Football Regulator that will safeguard the future of the game, enforce compliance with financial regulation, and establish new guardrails for corporate governance, club ownership, fan engagement, and competition regulation; requests the suspension of all proceedings and sanctions made by the commission until the Regulator makes its own determinations; and demands fan ownership and board representation

They beat Everton at Goodison, drew with Liverpool, drew at Forest (no mean feat), lost by 1-0 to both Sours and United.
They have to be taken seriously...as do the other promoted clubs as they've just been trying to find their feet in the first handfuls of games. If one of them gets the bit between their teeth we'll need a 48 point season to maybe hold them off.
I'd hate that to happen. Bollocks to the Premier League. Let's make Goodison Park a place where no-one wants to come for the remainder of the season and beyond. And let's start with Man Utd this weekend. And we're not going down, ain't gonna happen.
