6 + 2 Point Deductions



Well done The 1878s - another injustice against our club and its supporters they are helping fight.

Keep on slandering Sky and PL - we ain’t going anywhere.


Somebody needs to tag Carragher in that and ask him if he thinks it’s right his employer is slandering people of the city and making out they’re doing things they didn’t.
 

Need to keep going hard and consistently with the protest if not harder, even if we move clear of relegation. PL etc will be relying on fatigue and risk reduction to shut us up - that cant be allowed to happen.

The better we do the more we dig in and protest.

Sky should be on our hitlist too, contrived edited journalism, absolutely complicit in corruption. Turning football into pre arranged story lines like WWE sports entertainment.

It's not just us, it's the other 80 odd clubs who should be going nuts. The appeasement, the ground that has been conceded, from what was traditional football, for just 4 CL clubs is sickening.

Agreed mate.

What would happen if if there was a sustained campaign highlighting "the looking after the 6 clubs" injustice.

What would happen if the other clubs left the PL, set up a new league and let the Top 6 off into Europe and 6 championship clubs replaced them. I think id much rather play Sunderland or Leeds then City in their current form tbh.

I know people will say "money" - but honestly i just want to enjoy the game again without having to factor money into the sport - id wager most fans are the same.

I don't think money will ever not be a factor mate. It's the so called rules which govern who gets to spend money and forces clubs to sell their best players that are the issue. Unfortunately many club owners are every bit as complicit as the suits at the PL, FA or wherever. They won't vote to upset a system that's just signed a £6bn+ deal, of which they will see a large chunk.

I know im being idealistic mate. But at what point does the market - i.e. us say, its topped out we don't want it, we wont support it.

I mean watching a game 100 times of us VS City - where we might draw 1 and win 1 out of 100 - isn't entertainment or competitive sport.

What does a 6 billion deal, really mean for me and you ..........nothing.....just a load of billionaire owners increasing the value of an investment.

At what point does the PL eat itself.

I just find it curious - i was around for the old First Div and early PL - this PL is the most uncompetitive i ever remember and the league most influenced by external factors - its not competitive sport anymore.

I often think of people who dont remember before the PL and do they think this is the way it always has been, will be and just accept it.

Sorry for the philosophical existential crisis. lol

I think this is going to be the biggest challenge. The better we do, the less sympathy we'll have, the more we'll hear "good season to take the 10 points" and all the other patronising nonsense and the more likely, I fear, the PL will decide they'll keep the 10 points in place even though that's logically absurd.

If we were absolutely up the river without a paddle, it's easier to keep the ferocity of the protesting imo. This needs to be total scorched earth and total siege mentality.

Absolutely. Everton have obviously always been football aristocracy but for many clubs in the old days there was that dream of breaking into the first division and putting together a team that could challenge for trophies. The PL put an end to that in the main and these FFP and Profit and Sustainability rules have put the final nail in the coffin really. The SKY darlings rule the league, get their pick of the players from other teams and prevent any other clubs crashing the party on a regular basis. Everton sticking two fingers up to the PL is the only thing interesting me in footy these days. Couldn’t give a fig who wins the league!
