Changing their manager can only help Sheffield United. Heckingbottom is awful and totally out of his depth

He’s Dutch. It kind of goes with the territory a bit.
There’s an old Dutch joke that says, if you have 19 Dutchmen all hitting a turnpike, 19 will go left and one will go right. When you ask the one why he turned right instead of left, he’ll say “because I’m Dutch”
What do you think would have been fair?
Dude, i’m a teacher. I get very, very bored with whataboutery because I hear it every day.
I don’t know the ins and outs of what Everton have done.
But I’m astonished that they have had this punishment, because I genuinely didn’t think Everton would ever be punished for anything they would ever do. There is this clear sense among your fans and especially the media that Everton are some kind of special case in all things. I’m surprised the Premier League haven’t subscribed to that too.
I guarentee that if my team have overspent and fall foul, we’ll get the same or worse and there won’t be endless articles about the “perceived injustice” of our punishment; relegation to the conference will be too good for us.
But still, I think you’ll stay up comfortably.
Most likely, you’ll harness this sense of injustice, galvanise and overcome the deduction quickly, then the PL will get cold feed, overturn the deduction anyway in the face of the backlash from the media and you’ll shoot up the table. It will be like a shot of adrenaline
“Perceived injustice”
Ok, so have Everton not done the things they have been punished for then?
Genuine question
Since about 2010, pretty much every winner has been playing for a Spanish club or was Lionel Messi.
Since 2000, I think there has been about 7 non-Spanish club winners, and two of those were Messi.
In the last 23 years, there have been 5 times that the whole top three were all at Spanish clubs and only three years where none of them were.
There have been only two premier league winners since 2000- Michael Owen in 2001 and Ronaldo in 2008. Only 11 Premier League players have even featured in the top three in that time compared to 38 from La Liga.

No reason why we can’t have an FFP that excludes money provided personally by the owner at their own expense. And which excludes money spent on facilities like the ground etc
No reason why we can’t have that at all.
Unless you are Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool etc and clubs doing that threatens your status quo
Just to point out, despite what the article might say, we aren’t suing anyone i’m sure our name was on whatever went to the FA last season when we were struggling with Everton against relegation, but we’ll have nothing to do with any legal action.
And it is total bullshit that stadium and building works counts against FFP. So what, you build a new stadium but you have to be either uncompetitive or relegated as a consequence? Absolute nonsense
No, it’s absolute bullshit designed to entrench the top six from a few years ago and permanently pull up the ladder
That’s the thing, a lot of fans who only know the premier league don’t have any idea what the football league is like.
Championship is a fantastic league to be part of. Sure, it is a big drop in quality but the football is really fun and not half as stressful.
And when you’ve been in league one for a bit, you are grateful for every season you get to spend at Championship level, let alone PL
For whatever reason, a question for non-big six fans seems to have been answered almost exclusively by big six fans on our behalf.
So, in answer- yes, absolutely.
We are going to get relegated anyway. If it isn’t this season, it could be next, or the one after that. Hopefully we can delay the inevitable for a long time, years. But inevitable it is and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. A club our size (with the exception of Everton who sold their souls to the devil to always stay up) will always get relegated eventually.
The championship is not some dark hell of gnashing teeth, weeping, hellfire and despair. Well, maybe some gnashing of teeth.
So I’d take a bunch of amazing memories and league titles in exchange for something that’s going to happen anyway, thanks
Would I take ten years in league one in exchange for success and winning a trophy?
Now, League one is really shit so I’d have to think about it. Make it winning the league and you’re on
Not sure where 2 points better off comes from; by game 12 last season we only had 6 points. We are seven better off.
The promoted teams are all pretty poor and are the top candidates to go down.
We don’t know about Bournemouth yet because of injuries and bedding in.
Everton are fine under Dyche
Wolves are fine under O’Neill
Forest should be fine under Cooper
Fulham are in danger of getting sucked in, but that depends on one or the promoted teams actually getting going at some point
Don’t really care about the top
This is an integral part of ice hockey and really makes the games exciting.
I personally would like to see this extended for all second yellows. 10 minutes against ten men will make for an interesting game; the team with 11 have to go for it because they only have a limited time advantage.
I personally hate seeing people sent off as I pay to watch a competitive match, and that just ruins it. But 10 minutes of advantage is tactically really interesting and means we get to see these great players on the field more.
