6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Smurph]

I suppose that means Forest could get slapped with an extra 2 that they didn't get for cooperating as they have appealed and we can't as we weren't given the same consideration.

What on earth did Forest do between 'reasonably high' and 'exceptional' co-operation that warranted a whole 2 points bonus? Exactly the same amount we have just been given for a new breach? Just what did they do that we didn't that could have been worth so much?!

Actually, no-one answer that the forum will melt.

But it stinks, absolutely reeks, and at some point in the future it will come out what has been going on here really. When it doesn't matter anymore.

As in, they are expecting this year to be over £60m again?

Where has that working out come from?

A lot of assumption indeed as this year our wage bill is significantly lower than last and we sold a few players for profit whilst buying nothing (beto & chermiti payment are due next season)

Oh yeah I know, but Usmanov, of all people, is/was a very well known supporter of the regime (pic below) - teams just didn't have a problem with his dirty money being everywhere.

It was the same with Gazprom - they were okay, despite being basically owned by Putin himself, up until the invasion which was apparently the absolute last straw somehow

I can't wait till they find out about Chelsea and Abramovic when considering eggs and baskets.

 

[toffee82]

why would they get 2 for appealing?

will we? why didn’t we?

I mean the two for cooperation added back on so they go up to 6 points off

 

[Tommy Chong]

Oh my word!

Well, maybe it’ll give him some perspective on how it feels to be an Evertonian at the moment.

 

[MACCA75]

???

30m, minimum.

Can Fulham afford that?

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Just to check if I'm totally up to speed.

The corrupt barstewards have taken another 2 points off us. However, after carefully considering various mitigating factors, they've reinstated davek.

Good deal if you ask me.

 

[peteblue]

I hope he does and someone shits in his coffee.

Crappuccino…….

Isn't this the exact same thing that they upheld in the first case and thus why we got slapped with 10 (6)?

 

[Bez2k2k]

This is awful, if all true. Honestly I would have no problem if Everton just jibbed all the games off now. Sack it. Go down. Sack them off. It’s what they want anyway.

A mitigating factor ignored in the first hearing. Outstanding inconsistency on display all around.

Tbh mate, I have not got a clue what they are doing beyond trying their best to relegate us. There doesn't seem to be any sort of consistent framework or method.

He makes good points as always.

I don’t pretend to understand all of the interest issue (and no footy fan should have to) but if our auditors have signed it off it’s at least a valid, justifiable, way of treating it otherwise they couldn’t do it. If it were clearly and obviously wrong the IC could have surely ruled that, if it’s so unclear that they need time to figure it out then surely the benefit of the doubt should go to the audited accounts as stated.

It seems so unnecessarily vindictive for the PL to pursue when they’ve got 8 of the 17 they requested.

If it is not clear and obvious then the onfield decision stands … no ?

 

[Goat]

Can Fulham afford that?

Well its not like he will join a club worse than us.

 

[MIKE85]

There's a long explanation in the report on why the PL objected to adopting the EFL guidelines, to which IC agreed. The PL can't adopt anything without the approval of the clubs first.
