Financial Fair Play investigation

[Baggzio]

You’re absolutely deluded if you think we’ll stay up after a 12 point deduction.

It’s not exactly that hard to believe in fairness. We’d need an equivalent of a 50 point season at absolute maximum. We finished last season with 36 points, I’d say we’ve been far better this season, even if some results haven’t gone our way.

Leicester got 34 points last season and went down, I genuinely can’t see any of the 4 teams below us at the minute even getting that honestly. I think it could be 3 teams going down with less than 30 points honestly, which would mean we’d only need a slightly better season than one of our worst ever seasons last year to still stay up. I don’t even think that’s being very optimistic, I think it’s pretty realistic.

We're the team the Premier League make an example out of? Everton, that.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Just waiting for the various pundits and journalists to point out again that points deductions are unfair because they hurt the fans.

 

[Neiler]

We'll happily take a 12 point deduction but only if the penalty points are spread out over the next 25 seasons, in true everton style!

Whatever it is both we and the PL also have the right to appeal.

 

[Simon Buttle]

It’s obvious why. We’re the direct rivals of the league’s biggest darling. Really it’s the same reason that they hate City as well, the only difference is City are run by the best in class across the club and legal department.

It’s not exactly a big conspiracy to suggest that Liverpool and United have always been the 2 favoured clubs by the league in terms of decisions, punishments and all that. Every other club only gets in the way of those two in the league’s eyes with Everton and City being the biggest problems of the bunch for different reasons.

If that was the case then why do they have these constant issues with the fixture list and decisions going against them? surely the constant moaning from Shippman would have an impact. Also he has been punished numerous times due to his dancing on the sidelines. Id say it's got more to do with the fact we had strong links to Putins best mate, it was more obvious at Chelsea so they forced a sale but with us we had his bagman as an intermediary which made it more complicated.

Bad smell about this mate.

If it is bad news no one knows yet.

Forget that Telegraph report. They've been carrying these stories for two years...with their 'well connected' reporters an' all.

 

[Marius57]

The commission will say if we are guilty or not.

The Premier League will set the punishment.

Im sure the commission has the powers to set the punishment as well.

Everton reportedly will be able to appeal the ruling of the independent commission that is looking into their alleged Financial Fair Play breach.

According to Sky Sports news editor Alan Myers, that provision does exist for the Toffees in case they do not agree with the verdict.


There will also be legal representation on the panel of experts that will be investigating the entire issue.

I believe there is an appeal process

How would people feel of it was a mix. E.g. 3 points, one window ban and a small fine?

 

[MikeH72]

Yes this is a valid point

I can't see Burnley or Sheff United or even Luton getting 12 points.

Take away 12 and we would be back above those three in a couple of months.

Absolutely ridiculous. You think 3 teams will finish on less than 12 points? Brain dead statement.

Guys we will win this case

The appeal is to the same panel isn’t it?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Hopefully we've got Rex Makin representing us....Never beat Sexy Rexy.

We’d need Bob Massingbird
