Steve Parrish is genuinely a good guy. He will be one of several whom won't deem a points deduction necessary.

Not that it matters.

 

[Jokerdan]

Nothing to see here. Please move on!

The gist of the story will be we took advantage of Covid and the league was complicit in our spending. Can you retroactively punish someone for a situation that was allowed at the time due to a global pandemic? I don’t see any case.

So whatever penalty they impose, we immediately appeal it and it all gets kicked down the line

But who do we appeal to? Dunno what that process would be. Do the committee advise punishment rather than carry it out? Or do the PL take the advice and implement it?

So if you appeal...you're appealing to the League cos there's no court of sport arbitration on this I think.

What the league will say is final based on what the EFL do. We'd only contest it not being a fair hearing or some technicalities that they could suspend some punishments

I think you are misreading this mate.

The ONLY way Leeds & Burnley go quietly is if the club is acquitted of the charge.
No basis for their prospective claims.

If there's a guilty as charged verdict then that opens the door for their compensation claims. Otherwise they have nothing.

Oh, Im not sure Leeds and Burnley will go quietly regardless. Thats not what I said. The premier league wants to win the court of public opinion, and they did that by dotting their I and crossing their T.

No matter what the commission decides it doesnt open a door to anything, its an independent commission operating under the terms Everton, Leeds, Burnley and the others agreed to long ago. They have no legal standing except in the case of proved corruption by the premier league and the commission.

Hopefully comes out what they want us done for a clear charge. Alot fans media ect havent got any ideas, thinking we have over spent on players and broke the rules. But the leavue agreed that covid and the ffp the club followed it,

The idea he mentioned that it sounds like the clubs have never been in favour of the rolling 3 year review due to, as he pointed out, you can blitz it one year, then cut back over 2 (see Chelsea).

So when you have "rules" that have been unfavorable and exploited on top of them reviewing changes... we're the club thrown in limbo to make an example out of.

The Man City one will be interesting cos they'll send the PL to the cleaners for anything not water tight.

I'm not sure that's right , we'll see.

CAS has nothing to do with this case. There is no right of appeal to CAS.

The only right to appeal (for either side) is to the independent panel itself.

Eh ?
I did say I dunno , it's just something I read .

Nobody is arguing that the Super League wasn't a disgrace, but ultimately it's exactly what Everton did with the formation of the Premier League so constantly bringing it up just smacks of hypocrisy to me. I don't want to tempt fate, but the chances are we will get a slap on the wrist in the same way the "Big 6" did when they wanted to jump ship.

It wasn't what Everton did as part of the PL founders at all. The PL maintained a competitive point. Promotion and relegation remained a key part of it and every club in the English league has an opprtunity to be a part of it if they deserve their position. More importantly, if they are promoted into it only once in their existence, for their term of membership they have EXACTLY the same voting power as a team that had formed it.

The people that make that claim either don't understand the reasons the scab 6 tried to do what they did, or they don't want to admit it
