I am pretty sure they wont work like that, as they make it up as they go
6 + 2 Point Deductions
- Thread starter GrandOldTeam
- Start date
The integrity of the competition is being compromised every week that goes by and the uncertainty continues. The league is not a credible competition right now. Anyone who likes sport should be embarrassed by this whole thing.
Like today we have no idea if that's a useful point or not. We have no idea if Dyche goes more attacking against 10 men if we know a significant deduction stands. It's Dyche, so maybe not, but its at least a fair question.
We do know that the league tried to make an example out of the club the first time though.
I understand why people are concerned and are seeing worst case scenarios. I have very little faith in the process and while I still am hopeful for a decent outcome, it's perfectly reasonable to think another deduction could be coming our way rather than points back.
I don’t think it’s reasonable at all really, just think it’s doom mongering for the sake of it.
They are making it up as they go along so anything could happen.
The process has been a complete farce and no one has any faith in it.
We could easily get most of the points back or none. None of us have a clue

We're being punished in so many ways. Losing ten points is bad enough. It's also, if it sticks, a de facto fine of over 10m prize money even if we stay up. And because we have to budget for the worst case loss of income it arguably cost us any ability to spend during the transfer window, so although it would've been a limited ability anyway, that arguably amounts to a de facto transfer ban on top.
Now we're being even more punished by the uncertainty of the process taking so long (because the rules of the process are so ill-defined), and the obvious effects it's having on the pitch.
It's just such a ridiculous sanction that punishes you from all angles and it cannot possibly be fair or proportionate to an accounting breach.

Why is the decision for these points taking so long? It affects everything, our mentality after the red card today could have been so different if every point didn’t mean so much. I know it was bad management but you even look at how other teams are playing around us and right now they see a chance to finish above us. Ridiculous that such a large item is taking so long
They've panicked at the prospect of the 'independent regulator'. Everton were used to show they've got their house in order and can regulate themselves. The appeal is out of the PL hands
The fact they’re so scared of independent regulation basically tells the whole world that they are corrupt and don’t want an independent body stamping that out. If they had nothing to hide they wouldn’t fear a regulator.

Yup
another deduction isn’t coming our way the appeal decision is
