6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Dykovski200]

We're clearly not allowed to enjoy any season!

Definitely not, how dare we

 

[JohnRoss23]

So Unites next, then Forest away, then Newcastle and Chelsea before a huge game away to Burnley.

Then Fulham, Tottenham and City.

Keep smiling.

We always seem to get solid points when least expected. Wouldn't be surprised to see us get at least 4 from United, Newcastle, and Chelsea at Goodison. We have been good away from Goodison so hopefully at least another 4 from Forest and Burnley away.

 

[Nymzee]

Will take a lot of wins though to legitimately move away from it. We’re now talking about a 48 point season just to comfortably stay up.

Why did you think this was a 38pt safety season anyway? The fact we can get docked 10, despite being pretty naff, and not bottom says it all.

 

[JohnRoss23]

The fury over this will die down and we'll be slogging through games that don't go for us and the morale will be shattered.

We'll lose our way in January/February with injury and the pressure of it all.

Are people actually arguing here we'd have got 48/50 points this season - which is what we;ll have to do now.

No chance.

You feeling okay, Dave? lol

 

[Brendan Janus]

No I don't think that's right .

I think the deduction will be suspended pending any appeal.

I think that too mate !!

 

[arch stanton]

It’s only a disgrace if others get away with it, so at the moment it’s not really much of a disgrace tbh

We broke the rules and an independent commission looked at both sides arguments and agreed with the premier league.

yes but with these things, one always has to consider how 'independent' the independent commission actually is when someone with an agenda appoints them, pays the bills, and even sets out the scope of the enquiry.

 

[Nymzee]

No I don't think that's right .

I think the deduction will be suspended pending any appeal.

It’s already landed.

 

[GlosBlue]

We should withdraw our ground from the bid for whatever it is Euros? at the very last second!

We lost Dave everybody. The calm presence of the last couple of seasons is no more.

 

[jazzy]

We literally weren’t even allowed to say his name for 18 months, an utterly weird affair all round.

You must feel vindicated even if not happy today

You've had Moshiris number from Day 1.

For a period you were a lone voice and now everyone knows that you were right and he will go down in history as the man who destroyed Everton.

 

[Bez2k2k]

Watch the P&S rules be changed on the day the Premier League re starts are the International break.

 

[gwladysnight]

Isn't this the whole idea of these rules.

Someone should have told Brighton last season or Villa this season.

 

[JohnRoss23]

It's probably that Dele deal that did us in.

 

[Ring master]

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

Hopefully doesnt take long, but has to be before end of the season and hopefully way before it. Imagine if we got relegated by 9points, and then they were reinstated after the season ended, to have the team that stayed up - go down, in legal challenges etc

 

[sam17]

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!

No chance City get anywhere near what we have had. Same as Newcastle, it'll be a political decision not a sporting one.

The UK government has admitted its embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in London have discussed the charges levelled at Manchester City by the Premier League, but are refusing to disclose the correspondence because it could risk the UK’s relationship with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
