  • I mean I can’t speak for all Everton fans but I will say this:

    We have clearly broken the rules, that’s undeniable.

    There were mitigating circumstances but the independent commission chose not to factor these in - some of the mitigations we put forward were laughable but some I think had genuine merit.

    Regarding the 10 point deduction…it does seem harsh when you consider that the punishment for going into administration is 9 and it seems the punishment for breaking the rules to prevent administration is more severe.

    Will we be sued? Time will tell - but if we are then it could set a very dangerous precedent and I honestly can’t see it happening. We’ve broken EPL and have been punished accordingly.

    And for those crying about City and corruption, etc etc. Let’s see what happens with them before we make judgements. If City are found guilty and receive a harsh punishment (whatever that might be) then fair game. If the EPL are severe across the board and all rule breakers are treated severely then that’s actually OK. Everyone knows where they stand.
