Why do I see endless waves of everton fans say they haven’t broke any rules, and everything will be turned over through appeal?

Has any one seen the latest athletic article?

Everton football club are really in trouble here, and I believe all 3 teams looking for a court case will win. That is another possible 9 point deduction.

Also, all this talk of a hostile goodison on the weekend, for what gain?

Second question would be, why does everyone now relate this to Man City? Since when have Man City ever been comparable to any other team in the prem?

Fairness is something we can all agree on, but it’s not the way it works.

Does anyone else think Everton are safe, even with another 9 point deduction, because I do. But I digress, why do Everton fans feel they have done nothing wrong?

    Everton fans have done nothing wrong. Everton players have done nothing wrong. Everton management have done nothing wrong.

    The insane ownership, now they have done something wrong.

    The fans and the players and management are suffering from decisions made that were beyond their control.

    Pretty universal amongst pundits this is seen as harsh.

    The reason everyone is bringing up City is apparently they are facing 115 similar breaches. If the ruling is applied evenly that’s 1150 point deduction, which of course will never happen. They won’t lose a point or be stripped of any trophies mostly because they are owned by an Oil state and terrify the FA.

      But that would require every breach to be equivalent which from what I’ve read definitely isn’t the case. Some of the things that make up the breaches are more minor compared to the more serious stuff

      But it’s not the fans club or the players club or the managers club unfortunately, it’s the owners club. I feel bad for the fans yes but this can’t be the argument against otherwise this could just be the argument everytime, the days of fans players or managers really having anything to do with their club at the top level are long gone unfortunately.

        I agree but they have specifically mentioned not punishing the fans when making similar decisions in the past. Why is that not the case this time?

          The fans are just collateral unfortunately, you can’t just keep making this argument as every club has fans and can just make the same argument, like I said before long gone are the days of it being their club, its just a business nowadays.

            I agree, but those decisions were made not that long ago, which means they aren’t being consistent regardless of whether or not the club, all clubs, are being run like a business

              Well they are always gonna say when asked they don’t want to punish the fans I’m sure if you asked them now they would say the same thing.

        Wasn’t “this will hurt the fans” the same argument used to avoid harshly punishing the break away super league clubs?

          Which they totally got away with.

          I don’t really see it as an argument against the ruling though. More of a statement of fact. Factually the rules were broken and some sanction is justified. Everton were transparent.

          None of the fans, players or managers did this but absolutely they will be the ones suffering for it.

          Moshri is probably still smiling his vacant smile and thinking back to the day he “saved” Everton. When in fact he ruined it.
