Financial Fair Play investigation

I can't see this news being silenced for long. We'll demo have a good idea prior to the official announcement in November.
 
Where did the Premier League get the 12 points deduction from? I don't see any coverage on this tbh
The Telegraph wrote "The Telegraph have learnt that the Premier League....." but they've never said how they learnt it. With an anonymous source they can claim anything.

The Daily Mail could report "Everton will have all their toilet paper taken away for 2 years" and people would believe it.

Far too many people slag off the media for writing BS stories but still believe everything they read.
 
The league does not assign places based on head to head results, you may be thinking of another league.

I’m saying that we are the only team not to beat sheff utd this season and we lost to Luton at home … that’s two of the teams that are “ worse” than us.

So what? That means nothing. I seen some idiots spouting similar nonsense in the ;newcast;e; thread in World football, after they beat Sheff U 8-0. "We couldn't even beat Sheff U, wahahahaha" they cried. However, we'd not long just beaten Brentford away, who had also recently got a point at St James'.

See my point? I thought everybody over the age of 6 knew not too read too much in to individual results. But there you go; Shows what I know,

Losing and failing to pick up points from the teams around the bottom is why we were 30mins from being relagated last season
 
That was a big win for us, I think a points deduction max would be 6, more likely 3 with 3 suspended so to just push it out already + start to believe we can win games like this should mean we can stick two fingers up at the league and everyone else again.

Let's have it right: there should be NO points deduction whatsoever.

Only Everton's terrible power vacuum which makes us rudderless in leadership terms and the fact that the PL are looking over their shoulder at government intervention if they don't look 'tough' has us even being spoken about as a club that should get points deducted.

If we're 'guilty' we're guilty for spending more than we should have. We haven;t gone into administration. Neither have we threatened to kill the PL like 6 other clubs did. If they got £3M in fines each for doing that then a points deduction of any description is a complete miscarriage of justice.
 
Can anyone please explain why we are even in this situation.
What I fail to understand is that over the last 5 years we have the 3rd lowest net spend in the premier league at £23.8m compared with the likes of Chelsea at 672.8m. We also rank only 12th in the premier league for the amount paid in salaries ..Way behind the so called top six clubs. So how can we be accused of overspending to gain an advantage over other teams?
Is it because of what we’ve borrowed so far to build the new stadium?
If that is the case then it seems to me that we are being punished for having the audacity to provide ourselves with a vehicle to bring in the revenue we are unable to obtain by competing in Europe or finishing higher in the table.
Are we supposed to accept the fact that we should know our place and leave the so called top six to carry on dominating everyone else,
Surely there have been occasions when other clubs have suffered losses because of new stadium builds, but there has been no evidence of the kind of witch hunt we are having to endure.
7/8 years ago Liverpool we’re almost about to go into liquidation before the present owners took over but there was nothing even mentioned about FFP or Premier League intervention.
Chelsea were hit with a transfer embargo a few seasons ago and yet they are now bending the rules by signing 100m players on ridiculously long contracts and yet again there seems to be no reaction to this whatsover.

I honestly believe that the Premier League do not want to severely sanction the so called “elite” clubs
but consider Everton big enough to to make an example of and send a message to all the other PL clubs.
The very fact that they have already intimated that they will appeal if Everton are cleared by Independent Hearing is a clear indication of just how eager they are to send that message.
 
Why we are even entertaining points deductions baffles me. We are facing one P+L charge for a non footballing matter, and 6 clubs have already tried to ruin football and were punished with a tiny fine. Everton should face no football consequences if they are found guilty. There should be a fine and a warning about future conduct. Any points deduction should be appealed on this basis
