Seems like you’ve copy-pasted text from the ruling without addressing anything I’ve said. The PL does not have a codified punishment framework and has said that the approach used against Everton here may well not apply elsewhere. That is horseshit and fans are rightly aggrieved

there’s not a lot of weight to their argument

Because you’re responding to an argument very few Everton fans are actually making. The primary reason for the protest isn’t (generally) that we think we’ve been unfairly found guilty. The reason for the protest is that we’ve been hit with an unprecedented penalty and the standards behind the punishment decision have never been fully spelled out. Even now, the PL have said this punishment isn’t necessarily meant to impact future punishment decisions. Until the PL has a clear punishment framework, this points deduction is going to feel to a lot of Everton fans like we’ve been hard done

The rules on punishment severity don’t even exist, so how can they be “clear”?
