That's fair enough.

But you know what would have been better, if all the Merseyside MPs had got together to hand in a joint communique to the PL and it's 'independent' commission prior to their sitting that their judgement - and certainly any punishment they arrived at - should be considered in relation to the social and economic importance of the club and its place in one of the most deprived areas of the United Kingdom - that it's had no state aid to fund the stadium that will be a driver for regeneration, and that changes in the way that interest paid on infrastructure developments made by the PL during the period of accountancy for this period FFP caught the club out through no fault of its own.

All this is a bit 'locking the stale door after the horse has bolted'.

Yeah, they should have complained about the disproportionate punishment before the punishment was given out.

Shocking the way they didnt consult their crystal ball.

This has all been fabricated to do Everton. As in, it does not/will not apply to the whole league. That is what I inferred anyrate.

When you see that brief statement it looks bad and I thought the same at first.

When you read the full article in the Athletic it explains what happened in August. The Premier League came up with the framework and went to the commision with it. They rejected it as in the handbook the commision has the final decision on the punishment after mitigation.

This works in our favour as we can argue no set sanctions in place.

If the commision agreed it might have been put into the rules and into the handbook. These rules would have been set for everyone.

No, that's not what I said. I said the PL and 'independent' commission needed to be made aware of the socio-economic issues before they considered their judgement.

Cloth ears.

Yeah, cos a local MP should concern himself with the plight of a multi Billion pound football club owned by faceless Americans.

I welcome these comments and other like them from other MPs and the those outside parliament involved in politics. But I guarantee you this: the response to this if Liverpool FC had been punished so harshly would have been instantaneous.

They dragged their feet on this, and I feel that in particular an MP for the club's constituency should have been front and centre as soon as that judgement came out last Friday at midday.

Tell us what you think about the protests. Maybe you're one of those who'd rather hand the rotten board a good kicking than condemn the outrageous penalty incurred by this club...that's the way you've come across so far anyway.
