6 + 2 Point Deductions

[sam17]

An independent Commission has imposed an immediate deduction of 10 points on Everton FC for a breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs).

The Premier League issued a complaint against the Club and referred the case to an independent Commission earlier this year. During the proceedings, the Club admitted it was in breach of the PSRs for the period ending Season 2021/22 but the extent of the breach remained in dispute.

Following a five-day hearing last month, the Commission determined that Everton FC’s PSR Calculation for the relevant period resulted in a loss of £124.5million, as contended by the Premier League, which exceeded the threshold of £105million permitted under the PSRs. The Commission concluded that a sporting sanction in the form of a 10-point deduction should be imposed. That sanction has immediate effect.

Commissions are independent of the Premier League and member Clubs. The members of the Commission were appointed by the independent Chair of the Premier League Judicial Panel, in accordance with Premier League Rules W.19, W.20 and W.26.

Not to be forgotten..

Unbelievable, we need to go after the other clubs walking a tightrope hard to force the PL hand. Cant let them walk all over us.

Cant get over this trying hard not to swear but honestly what is the point

We've had our purple patch, other clubs will have theirs.

This is a HUGE boost to Burnley, Luton and Sheff Utd.

We aren’t even bottom, beat United next week and we could be out the relegation zone.

We need to get a siege mentality going on. Us against everyone else - this decision stinks and is an insult to the fans and the club

Well done PL, you just turned Goodison into a bearpit for every single match this season.
We will stay up, easily.

God bless.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

We're not even 20th after this lol

Not even in the drop zone. Above City and Chelsea

I disagree Dave.

While a boost to others in theory, I am confident that it will galvanise players and fans to now go for the throats of every team we face.

Starting with United.

We can still stay up.

No, we WILL still stay up.

Thank god this didn’t happen last season.

Let’s blame that chancer Moshiri, and let’s thank heavens for the deduction happening when there is such rubbish in the league.

 

[coollino]

crazy that we will probably stay up, our goal difference will probably be worth a point all season

 

[Margarita]

Apparently we had the dream litigation team of Jeffers and Baxter representing us.

They may have helped avoid a heavier punishment. Not sure going at the lawyers is the best use of our time.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Take a look at the table.

Yes Dave - takes us down to 19th and 2 points off Luton in 18th with a vastly superior GD

Everton had signed Player X in 2017. Player X had proved to be a star playerfor the club. In July 2021 Player X was arrested. The FA suspended PlayerX from all football activity, making it impossible for him to perform hiscontractual duties. On 23 August 2021 Everton dismissed Player X. Evertonsought advice on the possibility of suing Player X for breach of contract butelected not to do so.

Interesting snippet from the report

Cheers Bill. RIP.

 

[RomanReigns]
