Which they totally got away with.
I don’t really see it as an argument against the ruling though. More of a statement of fact. Factually the rules were broken and some sanction is justified. Everton were transparent.
None of the fans, players or managers did this but absolutely they will be the ones suffering for it.
Moshri is probably still smiling his vacant smile and thinking back to the day he “saved” Everton. When in fact he ruined it.
This is true. It’s unfair, but it’s true.
Life’s not fair is it?
Everton fans have done nothing wrong. Everton players have done nothing wrong. Everton management have done nothing wrong.
The insane ownership, now they have done something wrong.
The fans and the players and management are suffering from decisions made that were beyond their control.
Pretty universal amongst pundits this is seen as harsh.
The reason everyone is bringing up City is apparently they are facing 115 similar breaches. If the ruling is applied evenly that’s 1150 point deduction, which of course will never happen. They won’t lose a point or be stripped of any trophies mostly because they are owned by an Oil state and terrify the FA.
This is an absolute joke. Abysmal, grossly unfair and ridiculous decision. Are they going to put City and Chelsea in the Sunday league then?
Can anyone even tell me how Everton gained an advantage over anyone from this? With the best will in the world they haven’t even been a particularly good side at any point in the last ten years.
If anything smacks of corruption this does. A sickening, gut wrenching punishment and encapsulates everything that is wrong with the way football operates.
Joke.
It’s not being punished, they have been open and honest about the breaches, they have cooperated.
It’s the harshness of the punishment that has them up in arms.
