If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
I'd be all for it... winning the CL could have catapulted us into 2 decades of success like United had.

Makes the deduction even more galling. Would love to know to what extent that went to. If their precious P&S was being scrutinized so much why not just employ a transfer ban.

We probably want the appeal decision to come in Feb because there’s still a good chance that the appeal board (correctly) decides a more appropriate sanction for overspending is a transfer ban. If no decision is reached by then we should be looking to quickly bolster the squad for this season and next just in case, even if money is tight could look at 18 month loans or something.
It's rare that any team, even with money, would sign a player that would make such a difference in the starting 11....more often than not, January transfers is for cover in depth, something we do not have...it will be the same for Burnley/Sheffield

When you think the whole of that midfield, Sheedy, Bracewell, Reid and Steven cost less than £1m

Some really decent players there a lot of them to be fair were made so by Kendall
I see that Sky pulled an Andy Burnham interview just before the United game (prob already mentioned here).
If anyone can find out who authorized pulling the interview and why, it could go a very long way to exonerating Everton.

Yes they did. Its been mentioned more than once. That's a big reason why many people feel it is so harsh.
The difference is Everton raised their hands and said, we might have a problem here with a few things that have happened out of our control. Chelsea said, "Our previous owner has made corrupt payments for players".

Sky Sports PULLED Burnham interview criticising Everton points penalty

Sky Sport pulled an interview with Andy Burnham in which he called for the Premier League to drop their 10-point penalty against Everton.
In a move he describes as ‘deeply troubling’, the Greater Manchester mayor and Gwladys Street season ticket holder was spoken to by the broadcaster ahead of the Toffees’ 0-3 defeat to Manchester United at Goodison Park on Sunday - but the footage was not shown.
Former Cabinet Minister Burnham, who has been an outspoken critic of the competition’s controversial decision to deduct 10 points from the troubled Merseyside club for breaches of financial rules, now wants to know why.
‘I don’t know why it wasn’t broadcast and I’d very much like an explanation,’ he told Mail Sport. ‘As a former Cabinet Minister, I don’t expect third parties to decide what I can and cannot say.’
On Saturday, Sky Sports did not show footage of a plane that flew over the Etihad Stadium during the televised clash between Manchester City and Liverpool which was paid for by irate Everton fans. It carried a banner with the message ‘Premier League = corrupt’.

A number of Sky reporters covering the Friday manager press conferences were told not to ask about Everton, although the issue was raised with Sean Dyche, Mauricio Pochettino and David Moyes.
Those covering the Sunday fixture at a seething Goodison Park for Sky were also reminded of their ‘editorial responsibilities’, according to sources, before Burnham’s interview, for Sky Sports News, was dropped.
Sky insiders claim the move was made following the death of Terry Venables and subsequent shift in editorial direction.
They also say they did not turn down the volume on the numerous, noisy and expletive anti-Premier League chants from Everton fans throughout the game as they were not loud enough to merit a change to the output.

But Burnham is unimpressed. ‘There seems to be a wider picture here with views expressed by Evertonians at the game being silenced too,’ he added. ‘I find all this very troubling. They’ve have denied us our points. It surely can’t be right to deny Evertonians our voice as well?’
Burnham has accused the Premier League of an abuse of process and says the punishment – which has plunged Sean Dyche’s side into the relegation zone – should be made null and void.
He was written to the chair of the Premier League and secretary of state for culture, media and sport, accusing the competition of regulatory malpractice for seeking to introduce a sanctions policy specific to Everton’s case midway through the investigation.

Burnham, who did appear on Sophy Ridge’s Sky News show on Monday, has also alleged that they are using Everton as ‘a pawn’ in an effort to prevent the introduction of an independent regulator in football.
At Sunday’s match around 38,000 pink cards, with the Premier League logo and the word ‘corrupt’, were distributed and held aloft throughout the game by Everton supporters.
The situation comes at what could be viewed as a delicate time for broadcasters. In October the Premier League invited tenders for UK rights from 2026. The deadline for bids is this Friday, with an announcement on successful offers expected before the end of the year.
A Sky Sports spokesperson said: ‘Sky Sports has covered this news story extensively across our TV and digital channels, taking a fair and balanced approach to our reporting as always.’

Blimey.

TBH, I was looking at from the other bottom 6 or so clubs around us point of view.
Reinstating some or all of our points could (may be will) spanner a club or two. They will cry foul … and so it goes on
It’s a complete and utter shambles
Can't believe anyone is surprised by this.
That channel are just as bad as the PL. Proper arse sniffers for top 6 teams. Ran mostly by kopites
