I am watching Sky Sports pre-match show now, and everybody on the table saying this 10-point deduction was harsh, and if you want to punish people, punish the owners and this and that…

I get it, Man City has over 100 allegations, and Chelsea has some too but that doesn’t change the fact Everton is in the wrong as well, personally, I think they will be fine even with the points deductions there are teams worse than them and they are playing well enough to be safe till the end of the season.

And if the end of the day, it’s proven Man City and Chelsea are also in the wrong, punish them, simple as that.

I just don’t get the feeling of “oh poor lads, they don’t deserve this…” Please, we have teams in history that suffered way more than a simple 10-point deduction and the level of outrage wasn’t near the same. We have teams that played in the Premier League out of league football because of poor management.

    So they can appeal and it will get dropped to something like 6 points, remember this comment.

    Everton have fully complied with the premier league requests and advice. They knew this was coming in some form and have been working with the prem to get things as compliant as possible.

    City have done the opposite. Not only are they clearly so much more at fault but they’ve also not complied at all. The majority of there allegations are for non compliance. Yet they’ve received no punishment and continue to profit off rule breaking while Everton get a larger punishment than if they’d gone into administration.

    Everton have been fucked over for being honest yet City have gotten away with being crooked.

    Because if Everton get relegated, that’s administration and even liquidation. The situation for them is that bad.

    The actual offenses are relatively minor it’s s dispute over expected losses during Covid so a 10 point deduction does seem harsh

    There has never been a 10 point deduction in the history of the PL

    It’s a narrative for a season that will probably be defined by Man City walking their umpteenth win.

    Sky always tries to portray themselves on the side of the fan. They’ve been constantly on about owners at all levels because who the hell cares about rich people, but we can of course relate to the football fan.

    They did it during the Super League debacle even though it was nothing to do with the will of the fans, it was that they do not have the rights to it and their business would have went under.

    Don’t get why they are protesting either doesn’t make sense! They cheated admitted it and they are saying the league is corrupt. If they were protesting when city have won everything then fair enough they should be protesting against moshirj cuz the report is shocking about the numerous warnings they were told about before the charge. And you can’t say it’s about city and Chelsea cuz they haven’t been seen to or decided yet. And all waving around red signs when you are playing United is very strange.

    because people are fucking idiots they blatantly broke the rules and city are under investigation for different breaches but they don’t have the iq to differentiate between the 2 cases

    Because Chelsea, Madrid, City, and all the rest haven’t been docked points. I think Italy is the only nation that really punished irregularities. It’s also sad thaf Everton was once a very strong, historic club, and now they’re fighting back to back relegation battles.

    Tbh I don’t care about City and Chelsea. They aren’t my club, none of my business. What I do care about, is the fact that we took out a loan to pay for our stadium, which the Premier League told us was FFP deductible, before changing their mind a year after we did it, then using that to charge us.

    It’s ridiculous. How on earth were we meant to take into account the league changing the rules on a whim when doing our finances, then retroactively punishing us for it.
