As a long standing (ex) Manchester Citeh supporter they can demote us to the old third division again. Hopefully our avaricious owners will have sold us and we can get back to being a proper working class club again.

I'm disgusted and sickened that my club have been a part in all this sour and sorry sh!t show :(

I voted for a 100M fine for what its worth.

They don't have any shame.

I continue to think that the punishment will be a straight-down-the-middle split of TV revenue, which will cost the clubs involved a lot more than 100 million. It's a no-brainer for the bottom half, and for clubs like us it's a sizable relative win against the clubs we're chasing, plus we still have inherent structural advantages against the bottom half. It's how you get to 14 votes - even Mike Ashley would jump at the chance to increase his club's value overnight.

I don't support the ruling that was made back in the 80s to ban the English clubs, but I don't support the tit-for-tat nature you're calling out here.

Yes football clubs have had been punished for breaking rules but those were more of examples of systematic violations by the clubs. Look no further than Chelsea FC and their recent transfer ban, but that's far more understandable because in that instance, the entire club was systematically involved in breaching the laws, starting from the management team. This ESL project wasn't a systematic breach by the club, with the players and managers vehemently opposing it in the press conferences. It was an initiative that was taken by the individual owners and they decided to take it on. All the sporting directors for all these top 6 clubs weren't even aware of this initiative.

I despise Kroenke, Glazers, Levy, etc and I much rather they are punished severely and it would put an end to any future infringements or coup attempts, whatever you wanna call it.

Fine, 50m fine for every month the current owners continue to own shares in the club
punishment stops as soon as the owners leave and will get the fans turning on the owners so they wont be punished for long
 
I still can't quite comprehend the levels of delusion that has manifested at these 12 clubs to think that as a way of escaping the financial peril that their own horrendous management has brought upon themselves, their solution was to blame the rest of the football world and pocket an entire new revenue stream just for themselves.

And now they won't accept fair punishment because that punishes the fans? The same fans by the way these cretins labelled as Legacy Fans and are happy to leave behind!

Alright, let's punish the owners then. Tell these utter zombie clubs that they have a certain number of years to clear their debts otherwise we are sending in financial regulators who will take control of your club and get you out of the red by whatever means necessary.

Now that would punish the owners, because people like the Glazers put that club into debt themselves and up until Rona struck have been more than happy keeping the club ticking along, servicing their debt at the bare minimum rate and picking up a big fat dividend afterwards. Just look at the debt levels virtually all of those clubs are in, it's absolutely disgraceful and entirely self-inflicted yet they think that the rest of football should suffer for their own grotesque management.

Had Everton been dining at the top table in Europe you could have been one of the clubs involved. Not something most of you would want, and definitely not something most supporters of the top 6 involved wanted either.

We probably would have to be fair.

Since you are on here, what do you think would be an appropriate response from the league?

It seems to me that some sort of punishment is required, but nothing that damages the league.

We do things a bit differently at our club. Everything gets run through the fans. We have ethos and morals.
We don’t drop our undies and jump into bed with our supposed rivals for the sake of earning billions and crapping all over our fellow peers and every other club in the country.

Had we been invited and joined the club as we know it would be finished and the fans would rightly accept that we as a club deserve punishment, that’s the way it is.

No we wouldn’t have.

Certainly not in the way it was brought about, being snakey and disrespecting every other club in the English game, that’s not the Everton we know, we have always been a club built on morals and ethos and supported the football community as a whole whenever possible.
