6 + 2 Point Deductions

Suggesting innocence isnt the course of action here, we are very guilty.

But pursuing a legal case regarding damaged reputation would be similar to a murderer doing the same.

As ive said, any legal team with any sense should be able to present a better case in any appeal.

Whether the "independent" commission take any notice of it is another matter.

Why don't you just go and support Tranmere FFS.
 
Interesting.... I don't know why we'd negotiate a settlement, certainly not with three clubs. If those clubs thought they'd win compensation at the commission I highly doubt they'd want to negotiate a settlement at all....feels like a bluff to hope we cough up.

I worry about the appeal.

We worked with the PL because we were in a perilous position with ffp.
The PL warned us we were going to breach.
We ignored them thinking a sanction wouldn't happen to us.
We continued to buy players.
Then we claim it's all disproportionate after we admit breaching.

And now we learn it's very close to a further breach in our next accounts.

That's not what happened though.
We went over the £15m, which triggers the PL requiring oversight.
We then, as requested, gave them visibility of all our spending
They said, PSR is still your responsibility
We said, we're OK currently, here is our workings out.
We bought/sold further for 12 months based upon those workings out.
The PL said, oh, by the way, what you've told us here isn't right, we don't accept those as addbacks anymore and disagree with your accounting
We said, oh, bugger, well that puts us over then. How about this though...
Nope
This?...
Nope
This?...
Nope.
We get charged and have 10 points taken off us.

Very, very simplistically

God, I wish, imagine how much money I would have saved over the years.

Promotions, winning days out at Wembley.

Oh, the life I could have had, far away from this cancer that is The Premier League and Everton.

But sadly, I didnt even know Tranmere was a real football team until I was about 14.

Eh?

How could that be?

Or , here's a novel idea , you don't sign crap players that have no resale value

Not sure what you have inferred from my post. Merely pointing out it’s impossible to try and impose any sort of spending/financial restrictions with penalties that actually are penalties, but simultaneously have zero impact on the fans. It’s impossible.

So many permutations on this. Close your eyes and imagine for a moment that somehow we've climbed into mid table and if they suspended the ten point thing we'd be catapulted into top six, can you imagine the fume.
I've come round to thinking that the full punishment stands.
They never thought this one out.

I'm with you on this. Almost every commentator has said we'll get 5 points back based on nothing more than everyone seems to get something back on appeal. I wouldn't bet the farm on that. The decision was made by an "independent" panel and the appeal will be handled by a similar "independent" panel. They want, and need, to make an example of someone. That's our misfortune to be first. Everton aren't appealing the verdict merely the tariff exacted. I expect the decision to be upheld.

I'd love us to say, go'head then, lets have a meeting on Monday, after the deadline on Friday and just not turn up.
