Pulitzer prize worthy

there is no doubt that it [Everton] failed to discharge the duty of utmost good faith imposed by B15. This is an aggravating factor that increases Everton’s culpability.

This is directly lifted from the commission report on the case from the part where they are discussing the stadium cost and in particular the interest free loans.

This is the fundamental difference between Portsmouth going into administration and Everton’s case for me - Everton lied and Portsmouth didn’t. So you’d expect the club that lied to be punished more severely and therefore getting a bigger points deduction than Portsmouth makes sense.

Well fuck you too!

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.

Well in your case one of the conclusions the independent commission reached was that they felt that you had knowingly misled the Premier League about the nature and source of the funding for your new stadium (along with some other aggravating factors) whereas with Portsmouth yes they entered administration but they didn’t try and get away with cheating the rules. So it makes sense that your punishment is more harsh than theirs was

Since when did r/PremierLeague become r/TelegraphSport?

Villa, Newcastle, Brighton are probably good shouts

They are very much not good shouts
