Just been scrolling back through this thread loling at @Toffeelover ’s stepson in computers telling him that we were getting a points deduction and going down.

There's still time.

As said all along: either Burnley or Leeds were looking for a sweetener to go with their parachute payment.

I think they probably got it and everyone's a winner.

Who paid them?

The fixtures are out mert it’s officially too late. But I’m sure someone will come up with a reason why it’s not.

Remember when people thought we were going to get a retrospective points deduction and go down?

Every part of me was clenched

If we're top 4 with a game to go*, I would not bet against a points deduction.



* I don't think this is very likely

I go by a very simple mantra in life mate

"With Everton, you might as well prepare for the worst case scenario, because Everton"

That would’ve been beyond even us I think, it would literally be an brand new rule in football invented overnight just for the sole purpose of ruining us.

All went very quiet this, didn't it?

I mean, would something like that really shock any of us?

Still wrangling over that I expect...which is why we still have no word.

I think we haven't heard anything because there is nothing to answer to. The Premier League didn't comment at the time to 'open' the case, so they've no need to comment again to 'close' it. It was a desperate move from our rivals to grasp what they perceived as us having broken the rules (even though no wrongdoing was ever established) to enhance their own prospects of safety. I imagine the topic won't ever come up again.

Happily for you Dave, there'll be no evidence it didnt happen.

That's the nature of hush money.
