6 + 2 Point Deductions

[lieneverton]

Regardless of the absurdly harsh nature of it, I wonder if we got told "look, you're getting a points deduction, do you want it this season" and we've looked at the teams at the bottom and gone yep, let's chance it.

Then got slapped with a far bigger number than we anticipated.

Can we fck this league off and go play somewhere else. Anywhere i dont care where.

Think you'll get your wish on 19th May tbh

Nev on 5Live saying we should see this as a positive!

By spending loads in January

Absolute joke

Unless our legal team are 100% sure of either getting this overturned or reduced, it's crazy to appeal.
If we're guilty dry our eyes and battle out of the relegation zone and stick two fingers up at the PL.
Then we can sit back and watch clubs every season get hit with the same deduction.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

First club to get a double digits points deduction in the Premier League.

One of the issues was Everton “hoped” things would turn out positively so just carried on as they were

 

[ramacca]

A corrupt scandal.

 

[Daytripper]

Not defending the Premier League, I agree with a lot that’s been said. Once again tho the blame is being heavily shifted and surely you have to look at ourselves too for being vulnerable to a decision like this in the first place.

It’s like whet happened with the board, fans getting more of the blame for calling things out rather than the millionaires making the poor decisions.

 

[PITA]

There'll be no reduction of this on appeal.

This is 10 points and it'll send us through the trap door.

 

[UndercoverClaret]

You’ll be fine.

Bournemouth, Luton, Sheffield United and us (Burnley) are absolutely dreadful.

Says it all that after a 10 point deduction you’re still above us

Dyche will use this to build a siege mentality. Wouldn’t worry lads.

 

[degsy]

The Premier League is opening a can of worms with this, as we’ve acknowledged in the second to last paragraph.

Never forget the golden rule:

Those who have the gold make the rule

 

[ToffeeTim]

Would be interested to see how they can show in legal proceedings that a punishment worse than entering administration is justified.

100%

 

[ChesterBlue]

That is a k’in joke

I urge everyone to send an email to the premier league & Richard Masters (CEO) with your thoughts on this debacle.
