[Football] Everton deduction reduced to 6 points [Update 8/4: ...and another 2 points]

[A mex eyecan]

But City & Chelsea plus now Newcastle could easily afford any fine. £100m+ would be peanuts to them.

but if the shareholders personally had to make mirror payments as well as the club fines?.

Good analysis and conclusion

So fixed basically

OK so it’s got f*** all to do with the fact they reported themselves for the miss accounting of seasons past. They have a case to answer irrespective of their latest splurge.

Yes. Yes they do.

And I hope this is a case of the EPL, and the independent commission getting all their ducks in line for the accounting period, before absolutely SMASHING them. The groundwork has been done with Everton. Now when Chelsea are up before the beak (and its coming), we'll see what they get dealt.

By deducting points, a precedent has been set. We've gone past fines now. If Chelsea are found to be in breach of the -£105 x 3 years, which surely they will be, then it cannot be anything other than a substantial points deduction.

If they somehow get away with it then yes, the corruption charge can be justifiably levelled. Lets see.

Great conspiracy theory, but Leicester themselves are facing charges for overspend last season and the two prior to that.

Leicester reveal losses for 2022/23 Premier League season amid charges for breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules

The Premier League charged Leicester in March over an alleged breach of the leagues PSR and the EFL has subsequently placed the club under a transfer embargo; Leicester could face a bigger points deduction than Forest, but not this season, if found to have broken the rules

Yes and Leicester have already started two legal proceedings against the EPL and EFL.

No idea if it's related but seems to convenient...

We need a "The Premier League's Corrupt" day, where fans of all teams sing this on the same chosen minute all over the country. That will get worldwide headlines and hopefully speed the powers that be into a better / quicker solution.

Most would join in, apart from Man City & Chelsea fans obviously

This weekend on 10 minutes (total of Everton and Forests 'out of thin air' punishments)

Reports now that Everton’s financer and wannabe takeover ‘777 Partners’ are in the shit financially. Be funny if their new stadium was repossessed

Makes you wonder how they pass the EPL fit and proper test. Probably a back hander in the right direction

It was only last week when apparently this group pumped in more money for ‘cashflow’ purposes…..wonder if their new stadium will be named Up Shit Creek

Everton no doubt hoping to avoid administration this season, as the further 9 points deduction could send them down.

 

[Questions]

What a mess our game is.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Read a report on the this yesterday and the accusations filed in the court case are damning. There is no way this take over can go ahead, Everton are f***ed.

Possibly.

I'm not vindictive, but the club's and their fans conduct this season has been pretty poor. They got away with it last season so should have kept their heads down. If 9 points is the going rate for an admin, that will not be enough to see them relegated.

They haven’t !

Their relentless chanting of "Premier League, corrupt as f**k", without even a hint of self-awareness, has been equal parts maddening and hilarious.

Yes and funnily enough not sung when they were winning and pulling away from the crowd.

Could be though :

Pretty unlikely sadly. Everton to get nothing from Sheff U (h) and The Arse (a) with Luton beating West Ham (a) and/or Fulham (h).

Even if admined, Everton will stay up and their fans will bleat next season. The pratts.
