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.

    I just think 10 points is disproportionate.

    Makes no sense that administration is 9 points and a financial overspend of ~£20m is more.

    I know that Everton abused a loop hole in COVID and they overspent sponsorship money they didn’t have, so there should be some repercussion for that, regardless of the City and Chelsea situations, but they also had the rug pulled under their feet by the Usmanov situation which I think would be unfair to not consider as extenuating circumstances.

    I’m not defending a Russian oligarch here, I’m defending the club and the fans. Right up until that point, there was nothing to stop sponsorship from russian companies.
