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.
Because if they get relegated, they will more than likely go bankrupt and never recover. Which isn’t good for Football in general. And this is coming from a Liverpool fan.
Everton were working with the FA for years, were told how close they were to breaking it, yet they still spent knowing that they will break it. Its on nobody but Evertons owners.
They were deemed to have gotten a sporting advantage by overspending and breaking the rules knowingly, whilst other teams kept within the rules and were relegated. Its tough shit.
Fa said they gained no competitive advantage on the pitch.
I just read the report.
Did you not read this part?
Which bit of “sporting advantage will have been enjoyed for each of the seasons on which the PSR calculation was based – in this case, because of Covid, four seasons” Do you not understand?
Do yourself a favor and control+F and search for it. Page 29, paragraph 95.
