6 + 2 Point Deductions

[gwladysnight]

I mean we’ve done nothing but come at the owners and the board for years.

Did you miss the the protests?
The board not attending fixtures for about 18 months?

You should know this, blue.

It isn't about what we have done in the past it is about turning all our anger at the PL and letting the clowns who got us into this position get off scot free.

 

[Nymzee]

1 win (with results elsewhere) and we’re out of it.

 

[JohnRoss23]

As long as City, Liverpool, Chelsea, United, Arsenal keep bringing the money in and continue to boost international popularity of the league, they'll never be punished. The point of this is to send a message to all other clubs below them (Besides Newcastle and their blood money/owners) that they'll get made an example of like Everton for even trying to spend money to level the playing field. Corruption. A tale as old as time

 

[Zatara]

The sanction has been applied immediately so assume until an appeal were to intervene that's the points situation that applies. If the appeal isn't heard before the end of the season then I assume the -10 would continue to apply. It will be heard before the end of the season though.

If this were to drag on then its not as if were given the pts back next season.

But that would be nice lol

 

[Pootsy]

I think we've had a our decent period.

Our players will be knocked for six by this. The opposition will be boosted.

@davek, you're Doom Mongering again. Think of your happy place, have a cuppa then back at it.

 

[Bristol Blue]

I’m so angry, I can barely type. Livid doesn’t come close!
Man City best be getting a punishment that reflects their rule breaking, cos this is an absolute disgrace on so many levels!

 

[summerisle]

Lets see how good Everton are with PR/Comms to ensure the press support the cause.

If we can't even see former players piping up, then I do worry.

It isn't about what we have done in the past it is about turning all our anger at the PL and letting the clowns who got us into this position get off scot free.

The board have all been binned and the shareholder is about to sell to some new crooks.

Keep up lad.

 

[ToffeeTim]

So you want to take that stance... and still think we'd collect all the TV money that we get because the Prem is seen as No1 in the world.
It's a ridiculous stance.

It's not ridiculous at all. What would be ridiculous would be accepting this absolutely ludicrous penalty and pretending that there is a lvel playing field in top flight football.

 

[Street end man]

A decision that'll come back to haunt the PL this.

 

[Look to the future]

Premier league is currupt!

 

[jazzy]

They deffo did this in the international break as well so there could be no responses in the pressers or at games on the weekend. They probably hope it will just go away if we win a few games and everyone forgets. The club needs to tie the PL up in appeals processes for as long as it can and then start going for why the scab six weren’t punished and where are City and Chelsea’s case up to.

Be careful what you wish for.
If this is suspended pending an appeal only to lose that appeal next season when the deduction takes effect we could really be done

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

How long will an appeal take? Does the club have any money to spend in January? Aaaarrrgghhhhhh......

 

[hallamblue]

How can the premier League argue that they are protecting the profiability and sustainability of a club and then do their best to relegate them, which has more of a direct impact to the profitability and sustainability of a club?

To try and deter clubs from living beyond their means as there won't be anything to gain.

Well said spitty
