6 + 2 Point Deductions

Bitter one to swallow yesterday.

On another day though we get at least a point, thought we stifled United well apart from when we were pushing and lost shape last 20. 24 shots on goal tells its own story and first half bar the goal we were dominant.

Again - performances have been consistent throughout the season. It’s going to be a battle and a half but if we stay injury free and add a couple in January I’d be swaying that we have more than enough to get above the bottom 3…even if we get no points back.

Dyche has made errors for sure, young currently being the biggest one, but he has toughened us up and got us working to a style that is effective. Could really do with another away special against forest.

That's just not true, we were about 5/1 to get relegated before the deduction, now we're 2/1. Those odds have changed to reflect what they believe the true chances are. If this was a previous season, with better teams at the bottom we would be about 4/5.

Well obviously they will change slightly , but there’s a chance the 10 points change and the bookies will be aware of that and without the 10 points, there’s not a chance we’d be even close to relegation

3 point deduction absolute max imo.

Either way we need a reduction and pronto because there's just no way that

1. We are not good enough as a footballing side/squad to be giving teams around us a 10 point head start

2. The weight of pressure will make this team crumble. You could sense it even yesterday, snatching at every opportunity presented to us when calm heads were needed. This team will sink under the weight of pressure of them.

I think this is the issue. It's not just 10 points. We would have gone into this game more relaxed. A free hit if you like. Now players will be nervous and fans will get on their backs a bit more.
 

Why is anyone buying this absolute bunkum about the inferred sporting advantage - it’s a blatant lie and load of rubbish.

Such a sporting advantage that we’ve been getting all our deals approved by the league and working to a salary cap, under the guidance and instruction of the cartel.

We’ve had such a sporting advantage that we’re playing Ashley young at rb - there’s your sporting advantage that you can stick up your asre.

In the minds of the Premier League, Michael Keane led us to back-to-back Champions League glories.

We have been too soft. An accountant for an owner who cannot help us find a way to balance the books.

Being nicey nicey with this corrupt league then took the P out of at the end.

Indeed. We are in the position we find ourselves in because the super league did not materialize. Said myself few times we will regret the day we stopped them.

Football has been large part of life for decades now, never been so dispondent in league football and Everton FC. This is far worse than Walker Peter Johnson or being hoofed out of European football.

Actually looking forward to the cup game just before Christmas. We all get to see sporting contest that is fairly and equally officiated.

I agree with this, part of me just wants us to go full out to win the league cup, we are part of a group of clubs that's are going nowhere and treading water, slapped down as we dared to pursue both player purchases and a new stadium
 

Just finally read the full report. A bit farcical that there is no explanation of how 10 points was reached if they supposedly rejected the PL suggestion. Appeals IMO should highlight the stadium and it's value to the economy and English football, and the issue with 'Player X'. Either we could have sold him for decent money, or we would've been able to use him on the field and thus negate the need to spend money on another player.

Because none of them care to read, we spent money years ago and that is all they bring up. When othet teams forest arsenal city chelsea vill list goes on have spent so much. Whole ffp is a joke when you look at uniteds debt, it should be about keepng clubs safe and run correctly not to prevent clubs. If they would see what the club has done with transfers eould say it all

It’s no wonder the Glazers can’t sell united. Basically any billionaire is taking a billion dollars of debt instantly, yet we are the ones punished.
