They could say well as there was no sanctions in place for this 'crime', so EFC can have a slap on the wrist and this will be the penalty for this type of behaviour going forward. Exactly like they did with the scab 6 - oh its all OK this time richest clubs....but if you do it again we will deduct 30 points. Absolute farce!

I don’t disagree with what you have said, I regularly work with barristers and can find myself in opposition to one who has been on my side in the previous case. I would recommend that his pronouncements on Leeds United outside the case are looked at to see if his interest in them goes beyond the normal client attorney association. It is extremely important the appeal system is squeaky clean, it needs to be fair and it needs to be seen to be fair.
Side issue, “If we appeal do we get the 10 points back until the appeal is heard”?

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
The PL have said that they bought forward a motion about creating standard sanctions for a breach of P&S and it was voted against by all clubs.
And rightly so, that means that if you go £1m over FFP you’d get the same sanction as a club that has gone £200m over.

Wasn't it going to be a formula based on how much the overspend was.
I thought it was a standard sanction? That would explain why absolutely everyone voted against it.

This is the problem.
The Commission were supposedly working to PL "guidance" for breaches of PSR which are 6 points for breach plus 1 point for every £5m over (so technically, we should have been done 9.9 points)
If you assume that the tariff remains unaltered then what happens if the appeals panel find out that we are £30m over (or they are instructed to)?
Not saying it will happen BUT personally I wouldn't hold my breath for any big points reduction
(In fact, it may be better to think "ok, it's -10 and go with that mindset)

Surely that would have to be stated in the appeals process.

I think people are still failing to see the difference between accepting guilt and the penalty applied.
Ditto the penality is hugely out of proportion with the offence.
Ditto the penality is a sporting penality when it should be argued the club should face a financial penality.
Also needs bearing in mind that there are a number of holes in the Premier League case, from a layman's point of view, from what I've read the PL changed the rules on some of the mitigation (re the stadium costs) at that point Everton were saying we did nothing wrong to then having to accept yes we have now breached the rules.
From a legal point of view you only have to see what many experts are saying and that includes Andy Burnham.
Anyway it'll all come out in the wash as they say. What is clear is that an Independent Regulator is on the way. The PL can try to bury us (I hope we bury them)
I think it's only a matter of time that things change. I just hope it's not too late for us.

This is how the manager players and fans should be looking at it, forget about the -10 points we are 5 points away from getting out of it with 25 games to go, its very very doable in fact i would be massively disappointed if we didn't given the sides we are currently competing against.
Let the club deal with the appeal and if we get it reduced then great but if we dont then we need to be in position where it wont effect us.

Not really stirring the pot is it
Everton appeal against points deduction to be heard in new year
Club are still at risk of being hit with a second sanction this season if they are found to have breached spending rules again in next set of accountswww.thetimes.co.uk

If we have lost more than £105m in the last 3 years when we have been net positive on transfers, then the club deserve everything they get. We, as supporters still shouldn't be punished though as its still not OUR fault.
