[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)
